Virginia Voters, Beware the Weaponization of Teachers
American Thinker.com ^ | October 20, 2021 | S. Ernie Walton

In the educational wars occurring throughout the country, most of the conservative commentary has focused on two parties: children and parents. This is because states and school districts are treating children not as individual human beings but as lumps of clay to be fashioned into the image of the State. Instead of teaching children to think critically and developing their individual gifts, public schools are indoctrinating children in leftist ideology, seeking to destroy their individual identities and reconstruct them into a homogenized group of progressives.

Similarly, many states and districts have begun implementing policies that run roughshod over parental authority. Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe recently affirmed these ideas when he declared that parents should have no right to tell schools what their own children are taught. All liberty-loving Americans must continue to resist these totalitarian efforts wherever they might be found, and Virginians certainly should consider them when they vote in a few short weeks.

But in our resistance to tyranny, we cannot forget the other pawn in the left’s war to transform the nation: teachers. While many teachers are all too willing to swear fealty to the radical left and be used as mouthpieces of the state, many more are being conscripted against their will. This is totalitarianism 101, and we must not stand for it.

Mandating uniform, ideological curriculum is an effective tool for indoctrination, but its effect is severely limited if teachers don’t believe it themselves or simply refuse to implement it. For this reason, all totalitarian states mandate ideological conformity among and place strict controls on teachers. In Nazi Germany, for example, Hitler systematically trained teachers to propagate Nazi ideology.

Note to parents who can’t pull their kids out of publik skrewls: Audit your districts. Look for padded payrolls, stolen money and property, ghost students...

See where I’m going with this?

Virginia voters, never forget Terry is a clintonista. He came to power through the clinton machine, making him the child of satan’s boy and girl, the filthy clintons.

Too late, they started this two generations ago. We are now seeing the results of this.

......... states and school districts are treating children as lumps of clay to be fashioned into the image of the State.....

......public schools are indoctrinating your children in leftist ideology, to reconstruct them into a homogenized group of progressives........

Electing McAuliffe would signal parental approval......and embolden McA’s crass presidential ambitions.

Marching toward the American Cultural Revolution
1. Vaccines
2. Political Correctness
3. Trash the Economy
4. Empty Shelves
5. False Flag Incidents
6. Stifle Opposing Speech
7. Use the police to enforce the liberal will and incarcerate dissenters

Like all socialist endeavors, it will end in concentration camps and genocide.

“These principles were on full display in a 1952 case where the Supreme Court struck down an Oklahoma statute that required all public employees, including teachers, to swear an oath of loyalty that they were not affiliated with any “subversive” or “Communist-front” organizations.”

Back then we knew what ‘subversive’ meant and those people should have been KICKED OUT of every important job, not just teaching kids. But in 1952, we had a PACKED, Left-Wing court, put together by FDR and these types of rulings (in this case protecting people who want to violently overthrow our government to impose Communism) were the result.

Re” many more are being conscripted against their will. “

NO ONE is holding a gun to the heads of these teachers. They **willingly** sought work in a government school. They **willingly** cash their paychecks.

Millions of Americans have managed to find work that helps children. Teachers could, too. Instead, teachers **willingly** choose to create and run government schools that teach children evil.

I’m glad to see this being mentioned. For far too long we have given teachers a pass for the mess public education has become. I have never understood why.

The situation has devolved enough that teacher complicity/incompetence with the agenda cannot be overlooked any longer. Without them to enact the policies there wouldn’t be issues with CRT and the sexualization of our youngest public school children.

It’s time to stand up and shut this broken system down and start over.

“weaponize” is becoming an over-used word.

What do we hear from the so-called “good” teachers? Nothing!

No one is holding a gun to the head of any government teacher. They open, support, and run these institutions of evil. They do it for money!

Oh!.....Millions of Americans manage to make a living in industries that actually **help** children ( directly and indirectly). Teachers could, too. They **willingly** choose not to.

This situation is sooooo easy to correct...
Simply vote the bastards out...

But, the catch is most if not all of these elections are scheduled in the summer, when us working stiffs are on vacation. Same thing with property tax issues. Add to this the fact that most of these so called elections are not really advertised, and you get extremely low voter turnout.

Do a little research, find out when this election takes place.
Take a vacation day, personal day, or call in sick on election day.
Get your butt to the polls.

Remember, the only ones 100% available to vote are the teachers themselves.
