Bethany Meyer tweeted on Feb. 17, "All the rich white parents suddenly concerned about mental health can take a seat. Most of them are causing their kids' anxiety by pressuring them to complete asynchronous work and feeding into their sense of entitlement. Sorry/not sorry."


All rich white parents, middle class white parents and poor white parents need to pull their kids out of the Oakland school system immediately.

Every white person needs to turn this around at any given opportunity. Switch black for white and watch their heads explode. This and the tranny nonsense must stop.

That is exactly the left's intent.

Rich white liberal Bay Area parents. They voted for this year after year. Their virtue signaling got them here. They have sowed the wind and are now reaping the whirlwind. No sympathy for them.

I do have sympathy for the children. It's not their fault.

Apparently the sense of entitlement comes from being “pressured” into doing your schoolwork.

teacher points finger at 'rich white parents'...

Arrest that teacher for gun violence. Over the years we've learned that gun violence by hand gestures, even at early ages of 5-10 yo, must not be tolerated.

Parents should be glad their kids aren’t in the brainwashing machine 8 hours a day. The country would be better off closing all the “schools” as they are nothing more than indoctrination centers.

Not just those parents but ALL God-fearing parents. Not only because of ill-advised teachers with an agenda but because of the Godless curriculum being implemented by school districts all across America.

Healthcare workers, retail workers and food store cashiers have been at their place of work throughout. Do not see what makes teachers any different.
Reduce their pay and watch how fast they decide they want to go back to the classrooms.

It is too late, the Asylum staff has turned over the entire running of the institution to the maddest of the mad within.

I just don’t understand why conservatives aren’t using this as a way to expand the homeschool population. I don’t get it. We have been handed this awesome opportunity, but we’re demanding the government school to continue their indoctrination? What is wrong with this picture??????
