Shame on the school for banning these books.
I trust the teacher to offer these books to her students.
This skilled and talented teacher is very brave to quit her job.
Atlas is shrugging.
Here’s the article:
https://www.yahoo.com/news/why-quit-sarasota-teachers-story-184654179.html
Which books ???
What were the books?
Does not sound like someone whose supposed courage we should be praising.
“Janet Allen comes from a long line of educators.”
Red flag, good to see her go, now it’s time to STOP HIRING people with “Education” degrees - many (maybe most) have been indoctrinated to be Groomers.
TLDNR, but it seems her real name should be Karen.
They seem to want to avoid naming the books.
But the teacher opposes DeSantis and finds him oppressive.
So I can only imagine the content of the books she wanted to push on children.
Venice *ping*
Are you in our part of Florida CT?
Huh? I don’t think it was the Great Books…it was the agenda-driven books about trans and wierdos and anti-white loonies that Florida got out of the classrooms…the indoctrination books.
If this is the case, good riddance to her.
The article never mentions the name of the books, but since she formed an LGBTQ whatever network or alliance at her school, we can guess.
Also, she says that she doesn’t want to have to live “in fear of the parents” because they don’t like what she’s teaching their kids. Excuse me?
She’s not gone a minute too soon.
Allen is among the teachers who felt so vilified, undermined and threatened by the legislative reforms instituted by Gov. Ron DeSantis that they chose to leave their jobs.
**********
She is not paid to teach what she feels.
No, it doesn’t. I had the distasteful task of reading the linked “Dan from Squirrel Hill’s Blog” and it was nothing but excuses and tons of folderol BS, IMO. “Dan” even admitted she was a champion of LGBTQ students.....meaning, in my interpretation, that she worked against parents.
The one thing I find very telling is there is no LIST of the books this article claims as their banner when crying out “they banned my books.”
Not buying this at all..
Neither the article or the blog say which books she was told to remove from the shelves. I suspect it was not Mark Twain or Great Expectations. This is a culture war, and there must be “casualties” on the other side-careers lost, lost reputations-if our side is to win.
lgbtqp books, of course.
So, let me get this straight (ahem).
PRO-lgbtqp propaganda is FINE for those of the leftist persuasion, but bibles, crucifixes, Tom Sawyer/Huckleberry Finn, and all manner of “conservative” (i.e. - patriotic, historically accurate) books are to be forbidden.
THe latter exactly what the left has done over the past 60+ years.
Get over it, snowflakes, and hey, teacher, leave those kids alone.
This is a bullshit hitpiece aimed at Desantis. Libs are circling the wagons now that they’ve been caught doing some really disgusting things to kids’ minds.
Here’s an interesting line from the article:
“Allen says that when even fellow teachers urged her to stop teaching certain material for fear of parental reprisal, she had nowhere left to turn for support.”
You don’t get “support” for indoctrinating kids. THEY AREN’T YOUR KIDS.
Wow. The author must be even more dim than your average journalist if she thought no one would notice the omission. The one that is mentioned, The Bluest Eye, has a hyperlink to this PBS article about it which says it is controversial but only slightly skips over why. Given other articles about porn children are being given by teachers, I can just imagine what the omitted selections are
Ummm, she's a groomer. Good riddance.
Some books that may belong in a public, or college library do not necessarily belong in a school library, some not even a high school library.
The forty plus year attempt at the destruction of innocence and sexualization of everything must be stopped.
The Tony Morrison novel mentioned is a case in point. I have no problem with it in a public or college Library, but see no need for it in any K-12 school Library. There is plenty of time left after K-12 school for immature children to learn of the sexual brutality that can occur in the world.
One of the books is “The Bluest Eye.”
from Wiikipedia
The book’s controversial topics of racism, incest, and child molestation have led to numerous attempts to ban the novel from schools and libraries in the United States.
