I know a government school teacher who is an outright communist. This teacher is so filled with envy, you can almost see it oozing out of him. He has a degree, he’s a teacher, in his mind that should make him as wealthy as anyone. When he sees people who have hustled to make money, people without the revered college degree, it burns in him.
That is the kind of person teaching our kids.
American life expectancy for working class white males went down by several years in part due to the opioid epidemic. So you’re going to tell all the rust belters that actually, no, bow down to all the elites and corporations that sent their jobs and factories abroad?
This is one of many reasons either to homeschool or to send your children to a conservative Christian school. The latter is less foolproof as even there you must watch their teachers and check the curriculum very closely. Better to drive a beater and skip vacations than put them in the public schools.
“He has a degree, he’s a teacher, in his mind that should make him as wealthy as anyone.”
That is not an isolated opinion. I know PhDs that feel themselves above others intellectually, and quietly resent other’s success.
I see it also in Federal bureaucrats, particularly those based in Washington DC and Northern Virginia.
They studied political science, maybe went to law school, or even studied some technical degree. And by God, they feel that makes them elites, qualified to centrally-plan US economy and society.
