I don’t think these teachers are going to stop. They think that they are rulers instead of public service providers.
Oath and Opposition: Education in the Third Reich

Once Hitler was appointed chancellor in 1933, the Nazis took control of education in order to guarantee support from future generations. These goals were carried out by the National Socialist Teacher’s League, the Ministry of Education, and the Hitler Youth.
It is WE who do not understand that they have had the access to our kids for nearly 100 years. And teachers today are no longer teachers of education, but they themselves are radicals believing they are there to create a better society.
Generation upon generation of socialists taught our teachers how and what to teach. Today’s teacher is a product of this long road of indoctrination, toeing the line, without even realizing what and how they themselves have come to believe their ‘calling.’ Or if it is good, principled, and improves the individuals opportunities.
If we want to stop this we do need to look into history itself and ask, how was that mold broken in post-hitler Germany. Keeping in mind they only indoctrinated for 10 years, we have generations to overcome.
The decline of this nation can be traced to the day the first public school was established.
The root cause of this problem is the American teachers themselves.
In 1966 my new, small, Southern, liberal arts college was written up in a national news magazine (Newsweek?) as having one of the best programs to train new teachers. A decade later the same college had to close their teacher’s education program because there wasn’t enough hours to maintain their standards and comply with the newest educational theories pushed by the educational cabal (teachers unions eta).
My collage education was based on subject mastery. How can you be a good teacher if all you know comes from the same text book series the students are “reading”?
Since 1969 the American education system has adopted and abandoned two theories of education. Dr Spock and Maslow’s theory. Both have been discredited by their authors as failures.
The most recent theory is : “If you have a degree in education you can teach anything.”
25 years ago my children’s high school teachers feared the annual parent-teacher conference with me. My technical reading at the time was “The thermal theory of light metal reactors” - NO it was not related to my duties as a USAF Combat Air Crewmember. That book with my old Florida State Teacher’s certificate for high school history made a mockery of their counter-arguments.
Finally - one of the deep dark secrets about education is the fact that you need only 5 complete annual lesson plans and you are fixed for life. Who is going to repeat a subject the previously failed twice?
Thanks for the bandwidth and reading this post.
