In Wisconsin, a fight over whether children belong to the state or the parents
American Thinker ^ | 6 Mar, 2022 | Andrea Widburg

Posted on 03/06/2022 4:44:39 AM PST by MtnClimber

This is the most important battle parents face and they’d better engage in it because the other side is loaded for bear and completely insane.

In 1991, the European release of Zero Wing, a Sega video game, contained a now-classic badly translated phrase: “All your base are belong to us.” In the massive battle shaping up across America, public school districts are metaphorically carrying a banner saying “All your children are belong to us” in their battle against parents over children’s gender (not to mention racial issues). What’s happening in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, exemplifies this battle and can be summed up in a sentence from a staff training session: “[P]arents are not entitled to know their kids’ [gender] identities. That knowledge must be earned.”

That arrogant message came from a “professional development facilitator guide” that was used in the school district at a staff development session:

“Teachers are often straddling this complex situation. In ECASD, our priority is supporting the student,” the professional development facilitator guide states. Teachers were encouraged to “Talk amongst yourselves!”

The lesson — that teachers know better than parents about what is best for their kids — is not sitting well with some community members.

“We are appalled that ECASD would display such blatant disregard for the parents and guardians of our community’s children. We are equally dismayed that current school district leadership would pressure teachers into breaking a social contract that we all know and understand—that parents and guardians hold primary responsibility and decision making for the welfare and care of their children,” said parents and school board candidates, Nicole Everson, Corey Cronrath and Melissa Winter in a joint statement.

The leftist insanity is now out in the open for all to see. Who would have believed they would believe in these things even 20 years ago?

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

Then homeschool your kids.

Starve the beast.

........do children belong to the state or the parents?.....

Did “the state” get up in the middle of the night for the 2am bottle and to change diapers?

I didn’t think so.

And check the kids DNA.....the kid belongs to whoever matches his/her DNA.

The GOP had 40 years to implement school reform and DID NOTHING. Now we need them to restart our energy development, and again they do nothing. We’re in deep do doo with this uniparty taking our country down.

“Who would have believed they would believe in these things even 20 years ago?”

Who didn’t? It was only 2002 20 years ago. The liberals were doing this at least back in Bill Clintoon’s time of 1993 and the teacher’s unions were actively saying parents cannot teach children in the 1960’s. By the 1970’s, teachers credentials started including Master’s degrees and a two year teaching certificate to bolster that position.

Birth certificate fraud.
All caps names.
Social security numbers (human resources registry).
Are your children free, living persons or are they assets of the state, products, goods, federal employees?
And what about the adults, for that matter?
Do you want your natural rights or do you want federal employee benefits?
Are income taxes mandatory or voluntary?
Is it a moral expectation that you’re forced to pay for your own execution and the extermination of other innocent, living persons around the world through the governmental misuse of income taxes?

I was referring more to the transgender and sexual identity part, but yes I get your point it has been growing for a long time. It is incrementalism...progressivism.

This was settled years ago in the Supreme Court. Children belong to the State via the schools.

Schools can send children for abortions and other medical procedures without co sent.

Heck Schools here were asking for health insurance information 20 years ago.

They feed them and send home weekend backpacks full of food. they care for them, heck people around here stand in line to get their kids into the leftist state sponsored school preschool.

“transgender and sexual identity part”

I spent my 3rd and 4th grades in Sacramento in 1973 & 1974. There was already the homosexual support and abusive sexual talks then. We had one kid whose mom dressed him as a girl and the school protected that mentally ill behavior and child abuse. My 3rd grade teacher was a total hippy dippy. She encouraged boys to kiss boys because, “Who knows? You might like it.” I was born in Kali, Santa Barbara. By 1974 it was already a lost cause.

P.S. Another 3rd grade teacher in 1974 in Kali liked to give kids a ruler/pencil box as a present on their birthdays and French kiss them, telling them that is how the French kiss. Sexual exploitation of children was already happening by the time this country left the 1960’s.

About 20 years ago, I was in a restaurant sitting adjacent to a group female middle school teachers. One of them was my kid’s teacher. I over heard one teacher say that she hates the Jesus freaks in her class. I said excuse me, did I hear you call kids Jesus freaks? She looked astonished and scared. I wrote a letter to the principal reporting the incident. So, yes, there was covert paganism in the schools back then. Now it is blatant.

Defund public schools.

I grew up in central Florida during the same time period. We didn’t have that, at least in the schools I attended.

The GOPe brought this mess to the fore. Remember “JEB!” in Florida and W himself pushing the CORE method in education on our children and into our schools? Time to defang the NEA.

Parents think they can’t homeschool their kids because of jobs, etc. If you can give your child 2 hours of direct one on one learning, you would surpass the 8 hours per day local school education, because they can skip the brainwashing sessions. Dad gives an hour, Mom gives an hour. Your child will excell.

There are good online resources you can use.

Long long ago in a galaxy far away, teaching was a respected profession.

One day, somebody is going to pull this crap and a fed-up dad is going to take him out. Maybe that’s what needs to happen. They don’t seem to realize what thin ice they tread on.

I lived in Ohio after that Kali period and didn’t see it there either. Kali leads the country in fruits and nuts activities.
