I wonder if the FINER teachers in the USA who see through this can rise up and have a take over of this ideology.

There may be one or two, and that is about it because there are not any more than that. It is time to eliminate public sector unions and permanently fire those that willingly belong to them. I should mention, it does not take an education degree to teach. Ask any homeschooling family and they will agree.

I posted a few homeschooling articles that popped up recently. The trends are very promising.

Unlike many people here, I'm not completely down on teachers (however administrators are particularly loathsome creatures). Many of them are swimming upstream, and got into the profession with noble intentions. The chief problem is that public schools stand in loco parentis and that basically stacks the odds in favor of the house. Parents - wittingly or not - have handed their kids over to the state during school. The state - wittingly - runs with that power.

The state goes with the flow...society was ok with corporal punishment years ago, but not now (frankly I'd have throttled anyone who touched a little DoodleBob). Society is ok with a bunch of stuff now, and that gets approved by the administrators. The teachers have to navigate through sex ed, CRT, and (to be fair) parents more interested in dual incomes vs Johnny's grasp of algebra.

The beneficiaries of this Three-card Monty are the NEA, Zen-fascist teachers, administrators, and the handful of parents and kids who thrive in this property tax-funded environment. The rest of us - including frustrated teachers - are losers.

I've had the debate that all we need to do is reform schools, make teachers accountable, take back the PTA blah blah blah. The reality is, as long as there is demand/kids who "we gotta educate or else," the taxes will stay and we are stuck.

A parent's best option is to simply abandon ship, and homeschool. Your child is too important to make them a pawn in this rigged game.

The minute I saw the Commie Core draft curriculum, I told my teaching colleagues that this was watered down Commie crap and a dangerous slippery slope for education. The NYC public school system systematically harassed, threatened, brought up on false charges to terminate, etc. any conservative teacher who opposed Commie Core. It was like being in communist China and being dragged off in the middle of the night, never to be seen again. They only wanted young, highly idealistic, liberal, untenured teachers they could push around and threaten, those with stars in their eyes, having just graduated from their commie-pushing colleges. It was a nightmare to live through and I am grateful every single day to be retired and intact, off that insane merry-go-round.

There are not enough of the good teachers left to do much. Most of them left long ago.

And people here will blame the remaining good ones for doing nothing as they sit at their keyboards as the Left tears down statues, sets fire to churches, deplatforms the right from every outlet, etc. The right in general, and I include myself here, has been too nice for far too long.
