Grundle is either stupid or writing BS without naming books to prove a point. Go somewhere else and write your nonsense.
Well since the title is bolded and posted 2wice, and then only 3 sentences follow with no mention of the book titles, leads me to believe this is click bait and I ain’t bitin... Next...
Since its publication, the book has consistently landed on the American Library Association’s list of most challenged books. Reasons cited have included, “sexually explicit material,” “lots of graphic descriptions and lots of disturbing language,” and “an underlying socialist-communist agenda.” One complaint simply called it a “bad book.”
It’s racist for her to teach this book. The author, Toni Morrison famously and unapologetically said that she wrote books for black people. The teacher must stand in solidarity and allyship with the author. Teaching this book to white people is cultural appropriation.
Isn’t (wasn’t) “Dan from Squirrel Hill” a freeper? I seem to recall posts from him.
Maybe I’m thinking of someone else...
The LGBTQP indoctrinated teachers (“educators”) are true believers.
They believe that there are far more children of the LGBTQP perversion than there really are.
Ahem, “persuasion”? Naw, it’s the teachers doing the persuading.
Kids’ minds are malleable. Who was it among Roman Catholics who once said “give me your children’s minds until they’re seven and they’re ours forever”? (or was that VI Lenin?).
Kids are followers. There ARE leaders among them, but more often than not they are terroristic bullies. Kids will go along to get along, not make trouble.
Groomers know this. They know they can suggest, imply, insinuate their message of “trans” or “questioning” into the minds of children too young to even suspect they HAVE a sexuality much less have sexual feelings at all.
What this crowd is doing is RECRUITING. Plain and simple.
It must be stopped, as the left loves to say “By Any Means Necessary.”

I don’t worry about AP students in high school. My concern is the little kids in the earliest grades. High school juniors and seniors have access to any book published.
“The Bluest Eye” The novel is about a rape of an eight-year-old black girl by her father and is told from the view of the sexual offender. The book recounts actual sexual acts as described by the pedophile. Very graphic descriptions. This book was read by a parent at one of our schools- with the sexual description from the pedophile father. The school board cut her mike off and said it was inappropriate language as there were kids at the meeting. But it was ok to have it at their school for appropriate reading material for kids at any age.
This is the book she resigned over.
That school board meeting was that a few months ago ???
I remember seeing something like that ...
Next time Joe and I get together you’re in!
He’s due to come over again once my land gets fixed up.
Awesome. I love road trips.
Excellent! We managed to get rid of another commie trying to indoctrinate children with her hard Left ideology.
She’s whining because she might have to *gasp* teach students the actual subjects she is supposed to teach instead of her cultural marxist ideology. Boo Hoo Hoo! How can she stand it? The NERVE of these people not wanting their kids indoctrinated in the schools. Don’t they know Leftist public school teachers should have control over kids and not their parents?
considering what’s being churned out of Florida K-12 schools... they should all be fired and new teachers focused on TEACHING the student actual SUBJECT MATTER should be hired
Removing books on perversion and anti-American hatred is symbolic in the sense that most high school students cannot read...
Leave the books and remove the indoctrinator...
All honors teachers are woke now, how did you think they got the honor?
Somehow I don’t think a teacher who gets flack for having her kids read “The Bell Curve” will get much sympathy from her peers.
I see you’re still on your tirade against educated people educating people. Maybe we should make educators take an illiteracy test to be sure they meet your qualifications.
Why not advocate specific, practical reforms to fix education?
Abolish the Department of Education - return power to states
Vouchers
Homeschooling
Get rid of government employee unions
Make political affiliation a protected class like religion or race when it comes to discrimination laws (when conservatives are discriminated against in hiring decisions they should be able to sue for damages)
These are the kinds of things most conservatives advocate. Not... gotta watch out for them there educator degree types.
As someone who is in the process of getting an M.Ed. through a public university in a fairly conservative state, I can tell you that I have never been encouraged to groom children or indoctrinate them with any religion or political ideology. My exposure to Marxist theoretical lenses was in undergrad programs in other disciplines.
Degrees in education are supposed to equip educators to teach, write curricula, develop educational objectives, conduct educational research, analyze existing research, utilize technology in learning environments, manage staff and other resources in an educational environment, and on and on.
More conservatives are needed in the educational field. Any profession that you write off as somehow unworthy of any genuine conservative will end up being run by liberals. That’s what your simplistic formula would help to accomplish.
