Hostile school board meetings have members calling it quits
The Washington Times ^ | August 29, 2021 | Carolyn Thompson

A Nevada school board member said he had thoughts of suicide before stepping down amid threats and harassment. In Virginia, a board member resigned over what she saw as politics driving decisions on masks. The vitriol at board meetings in Wisconsin had one member fearing he would find his tires slashed....

“There is starting to be an inherent distrust for school boards, that there’s some notion that we are out to indoctrinate children or to undermine parents or things like that, when we are on the same team,”

Good riddance.

In a free country, parents should never have to defer to school administrators when it comes to their children’s education and healthcare.

If school board members can’t understand that, and can’t respect parents’ wishes they should resign - in disgrace.

To: technically right

They’re liberals that live in a bubble. They think everyone thinks like they do a one of you don’t you’re an uneducated heathen that can’t think for yourself and that they know what’s good for you.

These boards are made up of liberal busy bodies whose goal is to transform everything they touch in the goal of straining their liberal utopia.

So, all they need the rest to do is shut up, pay school taxes, and NOT question anything.

...when we're just trying to teach little white racist vermin that they are inherently morally inferior. It's a lesson they need to learn, and we will shove it down their throats. That's certainly not indoctrination!

Really want to mess with them? Vote to have your city/county mandate that the school budget is posted on line so the parents, folks paying for everything, can see where every dime goes and have the ability to ask questions.

You’ll never hear about CRT or the LBGTARSTUVWXYZ movement ever again.

And just because she don’t see it doesn’t mean she hasn’t been indoctrinated herself? Same team?

Is “her” okay to say? Is 👌 okay to emoji? Hu knows.

“Where are these so called doctors...they know kids do not need masks”

The scientists and doctors are all taking government grants and corporate sponsorships.

They are left alone if they are studying Murder hornets or hair loss… but if they want to write about climate change or Covid19, their livelihoods will be destroyed if they don’t toe the line.

These are the very same people who would slash their own tires or paint nasty words on their garage door and then claim they were targeted — in order to create a false narrative about “hostile” parents (right-wing, of course)

The entire Washoe County school board needs to resign. Polls of 87% opposed to bigoted race and anti-American content and yet they voted by same margin to approve it. To study, so they say. They are out-of-step with the community.

Educators are the absolutely worst person to have on a school board. I have never seen an educator on a school board that didn’t want higher taxes and more spending to fix a problem that often is not fixable with more funding.

Well, SHA-ZAM! Whatever gave those knuckle-dragging parents that idea?

I dealt with these cry bully despotic whiners for far too long. Didn’t win them all by a long shot, but I won enough battles with them that I know they were damn glad to see my kid graduate and leave town. Tell you something else, it seemed like I was the only parent that would stand up to them. It was lonely.

With a very few exceptions this crap that they want to work with parents or care what parents want for their own children is just that - a steaming pantload.

If it was that bad in 2000 when I no longer had to deal with them, it has got to be 10 times worse now.

They are NOT public schools. They are government schools teaching your children to be compliant members of the collective.
