My one daughter has never been afraid of her teacher’s liberal views. I keep trying to tell her some day she might have a tough go at it - but she doesn’t listen!
Around 5th grade she talked about how global warming was a farce. The teacher told her (and us) that her views might get her picked on by the other kids (VERY liberal area). So for her science project in that class, she did a poster board showing why the man-made warming was a farce! (She got an A by the teacher.)
In college, when Trump got elected, one of her teachers thought that it would be good for all the kids to think of things that made them happy on “this tragic day”.
“I’m thankful for my parents.”
“My puppy make me happy.”
“Being in a field of wildflowers in the mountains makes me happy.”
“Um. Well I’m happy that Trump got elected. Overjoyed in fact!”
“Yeah dad - you should have heard the gasps, and one girl actually shrieked! The prof just said ‘Okay then, I guess you be you.’”
I haven’t heard anything about her wearing her State Tournament Shooting t-shirts or her NRA hats.
That probably should find it's way to the world-wide-webs.
Its unprofessional how they were, I know some old freepers were raised to respect the authority no matter what, but I am to a point, they want respect they need to earn it, or screw em.
The next day was a Friday and she was running late as usual. She came to me said, “We gotta go, I have to go to school.” I told her that I had been thinking about what she had said the previous evening and told her that I was going to work from home that day in an effort to reduce our carbon footprint. She said, “But Dad, I have a Bio test today, we have to go.” I told her that saving the planet was more important than her Bio test. She was livid, and called some friends to see if she could get a ride. No luck. She stayed home that Friday.
I suggested she spend the weekend doing some research on global warming and energy use and see if what her teacher seemed right. She did and spent two days writing a paper for her history teacher that debunked human caused global warming. It was not an assignment but she gave it to the teacher anyway. It came back with a note at the top that said “I'll have to think about this.”
I seem to remember that she was able to take her Bio test on Monday, but the perspective and discernment she gained was more valuable than anything.
You raised one amazing and courageous young lady!
