U.S.—Controversy continues to unfold surrounding what teachers should and should not be teaching children. Teachers have responded by demanding cameras be placed in homes so they can monitor what parents are teaching their students.
“Why shouldn’t we be able to see what they are teaching our students? Do they have something to hide?” said Katherine Lunsford, a public school teacher, and activist. “For all we know, they could be teaching our students that America is a great country, or worse, that not seeing race is okay.”
“We need dedicated cameras in every room to watch students at all times to ensure they are being educated with state-approved worldviews,” Katherine continued. “We can’t just sit back and let these parents undo all of our hard work.”
Advocates of cameras in every home argue that a concerning number of parents are not adequately continuing the children’s education at home. They claim that kids return from summer break knowing nothing about climate justice, minority queer theory, or the racist roots of math.
“I just want my kids to learn the normal subjects and to treat everyone with respect regardless of race,” said local parent Paul Collins, an extremist bigot who pulled his kids out of public school to indoctrinate his kids. “CRT in public schools told my kids they were horrible, white oppressors! And now they are telling me that I can’t homeschool my kids unless they record everything that goes on in our home!”
At publishing time, parents who refused to accept cameras in their homes were labeled enemies of the state and their children were placed in the care of Child Protective Services.
Not sure this is satire.
Note to self: Check source before reading headline to avoid dangerous blood pressure spikes.
Technically this is already true. Lots of schools demand that students have a camera on during their online classes.
This would not surprise me in the least. Or they put some kind of microchip in the kids backpacks and conversations are recorded.
Sadly it’s very easy to imagine this demand being true.
Yeah let me put cameras in my house so you can watch what I do in my house. Really.. wtf is wrong with this.
This is the “don’t give them any ideas” type of satire.
Who needs a microchip when you’ve got cell phones, Alexa, and all kinds of “smart” devices?
Ouch!
Yep. And “watch this space”. They WILL come after home schoolers to make it illegal.
There is a conservative guy on Twitter that made comments about putting cameras in the classroom so parents can see what is going on. Some liberal figured then it should be mandated that folks who home-school their kids should also be forced to have cameras. Because “it’s the exact same thing!”.
The Bee is giving teachers ideas ...
Don’t give them ideas.
Nope. Not the same.
What is satire today on the Babylon Bee today just might be a legitimate news story tomorrow.
I do not know how they do it but every time I believe that I can spot a BB article they get me again. This one looked all to real, unfortunately
As always, don’t give them ideas.
Didn’t some Harvard educrat go on a published rant last year saying that something MUST be done to stop parents teaching their children about religion at home?
>> Lots of schools demand that students have a camera on during their online classes.
Years ago schools were caught turning on students’ cameras well outside of the school hours.
