I’m not 100% sure whether this is unbridled arrogance or just jaw-dropping tone-deafness, but this is absurd. These are toxic sociopaths operating on a level of totalitarian outlook that is alarming as heck.
The American Federation of Teachers (AFT), a national union led by hard-line leftist Randi Weingarten, has announced adding $2.5 million to a legal fund specifically intended to fight parents for control over education curriculum.
Apparently the AFT feels they should be permitted to determine the curriculum of what they teach. Parents do not get a say in what is taught to their children; this is a remarkable admission of indoctrination. The arrogance of this is really quite remarkable and highlights just how out-of-touch with teaching the education system has become.
WASHINGTON – […] “Mark my words: Our union will defend any member who gets in trouble for teaching honest history,” Weingarten said in remarks for a virtual address to union members. “Teaching the truth is not radical or wrong. Distorting history and threatening educators for teaching the truth is what is truly radical and wrong.”
In an interview, Weingarten said the union is adding $2.5 million to an existing legal defense fund in anticipation of local fights over the teaching of race. The funding will be used to defend teachers who are disciplined for teaching about slavery and racism, Weingarten said. The union is also considering filing lawsuits to get clarification about new state laws limiting how racism can be discussed in schools, she said.
“We’re looking at these laws to see if courts will give some clarification in advance,” Weingarten said. “It just looks like it’s an attempt to erase so much of the history of the United States.” (read more)

Exactly right. This didnt happen overnight. It’s been at least 30 years if not 50 but it certainly ramped up dramatically starting with the election of that communist, white person hating scum bag Obama.
Outline your plan.
If conservatives spent the past 40 years pooling resources to fight the teachers unions, and demanding that their curriculum be taught, we wouldn’t be here. Local PTAs should have networked, formed State organizations, and done what the Left has done. Institutions need to be fought for, they need to be recaptured. If the GOP was serious, they would use their power at the State level to purge school system.
"Critical Race Theory (“CRT”) is a dangerous ideology that eats away at America’s foundations. However, the attention it’s received recently provides an enormous opportunity for those Americans who have long been sounding the alarm about this formerly insidious, but now outright pernicious, movement."
There are 83.1 families in the US according to the Bureau of Labor statistics. Whether the parents are together or not that makes roughly 166.2 parents. If half are independents or Republicans and each donated $1 to counter this we would have more than 33 times more money.
“National Teachers Union Puts Additional $2.5 Million in Legal Fund to Fight Parents for Control of Education Curriculum”
Hey parents you can fire school board members. Hey teachers you can fire teachers’ unions.
We don’t ‘destroy people’ - we destroy the ideas and plans they have for hurting our children.
Really how hard is it attack communism?
It’s a system that had NOT worked in any place it’s been tried. A system that’s murdered millions of people and creates poverty wherever it takes root.
We just need to tell them ‘NO’...NO you can’t indoctrinate our children in public schools. Then pass laws to that effect.
In 1988 our daughter was in 6th grade. An incident occurred in which the teacher told our daughter to do something that we objected to. When we met with the teacher to discuss it she told us that she was the authority and we were to butt out.
We took her out of the school system and began homeschooling all 3 of our kids. Our daughter now homeschools her kids.
We have been telling them NO”. That is not enough. This is WAR. In a war, you destroy the enemy. They are nt just misguided. They do not want what is best for the children. They are EVIL.
Who is paying the The American Federation of Teachers to fight has to be bigger than Soros.
That’s the only solution you can’t reason with them theyre way out there. Beyond hope
