So...why do teachers agree to this child abuse? Why do they go to school every day and turn keys in the locks and open the doors to this mistreatment of children?

I conclude:

1) They are too stupid to know that this hurts children.
2) They do know it but are greedy for their paycheck and benefits.
3) They are evil.

I would submit that #2 and #3 are equivalent

I dunno who you've been talking to, but THIS teacher refuses to teach ANY of that crap! I will CONTINUE to refer to parents as "Mom and Dad," kids as "boys and girls," and queers and lesbians as "those poor unfortunates who need healing from a messed-up relationship with their fathers."

Show some class, friend. Not all the teachers in Cali are leftist pinkos whose only motivation is a paycheck. There are those of us who take our stewardship before the LORD very seriously. We will stand, and should we be dismissed, we will trust in the LORD for our provision, and pray for the eyes of our persecutors to be opened.

Or gouged out. Whatever.

why do teachers agree to this child abuse?

Indoctrination and power. They are taught this sort of stuff, including assignments that make them active participants in creating these types of lesson plans, as part of their education. They go into a school where few have the courage to speak up even if they disagree with this sort of thing, and by degrees they just lose touch with the reality of it. People tend to base their reaction not on what is done to them, but on what is done to them in relation to what has been done to them in the past. A child that has never been spanked will react very differently than a child that has been spanked before. Same with adults. They get indoctrinated and silenced, made complicit, and then maybe even become active participants or instigators. Hideous. It's not only the kids that get hurt by this machine, it's the teachers also.
