Are you serious? They are pulling this racist crap at High schools now as well? That blows my mind. Have the parents considered filing a class action lawsuit? That’s what I would do.
They paid big speaking fees to have an “anti-oppressive educator” come speak. I know they did it at the high school and community college, but this particular “anti-oppressive” speaks at all levels of schools.
Parents say nothing publicly. If you publicly speak out, you’re labeled an “oppressive.” The anti-oppressives are leading the charge against the likes of you and your intolerance.
By the time the kids are in high school the parents are checked out. Parents who have told me for years that the schools are fine are now telling me, “Yeah, the schools are so bad but my kid is out in a few years so we made it through.” It’s only once kids are flunking out or dropping out that the parents of high schoolers wake up a little - of course then they flounder around for someone else to take responsibility.
The problem is, if you let yourself see how bad the schools are, then you have to either do something about it, or admit to yourself that you are not providing your kids with a good education sending them to those schools. Actually, you might even have to admit to yourself that you’re harming your kids by sending them to public school.
