NBC News: "Conservative Activists" (Parents) Want the Schools (Government Agencies) to Disclose Their Lessons Plans (Government-Created Materials). But That's Bad.
The Media Faction is actually now arguing that the Government Has Privacy Rights and should be allowed to keep secrets from citizens.
They're literally arguing that parents should be forced -- by threat of violence -- to fund schools, but that schools should then conduct their business in secret, protected from parents' prying eyes. This. Cannot. Last.They fought critical race theory. Now they're focusing on 'curriculum transparency.'Art caption:
Conservative activists want schools to post lesson plans online, but free speech advocates warn such policies could lead to more censorship in K-12 schools.
Some conservative activists say the curriculum transparency effort is a potent strategic move to expose and root out progressive ideas from schoolsSo you're admitting conservatives are attempting to de-politicize the politicization already effected by your fellow progressives? Oh, of course they're not admitting that; in any question like this, they immediately default to the claim that "the truth has a progressive bias." Progressivism belongs in the schools because progressive politics is The Science.
Lawmakers in at least 12 states have introduced legislation to require schools to post lists of all of their teaching materials online, including books, articles and videos. The governors of Arizona, Florida and Iowa, who have previously raised concerns about how teachers discuss racism's impact on politics and society, called for curriculum transparency laws in speeches to their legislatures this month. "Florida law should provide parents with the right to review the curriculum used in their children's schools," Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, said in his State of the State address last week.Horrors! Parents want control over -- or even a heads up about -- the schools they're legally required to fund and which their children are legally required to attend. But the Government Has Rights!, we shall soon see.
... "People are going to disagree on a lot of these issues," said Matt Beienburg, the Goldwater Institute's director of education policy. "Transparency is something I think that at least allows for that conversation to know what is being taught. Everybody should be able to rally around the fact that we shouldn't be teaching something in secret." But teachers, their unions and free speech advocates say the proposals would excessively scrutinize daily classwork and would lead teachers to pre-emptively pull potentially contentious materials to avoid drawing criticism. Parents and legislators have already started campaigns to remove books dealing with race and gender, citing passages they find obscene, after they found out that the books were available in school libraries and classrooms. "It's important we call this out," said Jon Friedman, the director of free expression and education at PEN America, a nonprofit group that promotes free speech. "It's a shift toward more neutral-sounding language, but it's something that is potentially just as censorious."The only people in America who have full free speech rights are government workers during their government-paid jobs teaching your children in a venue your children are legally required to be present at. You, on the other hand, do not have any free speech rights. You also do not have the right to show up at school board meetings to challenge the methods and materials used to indoctrinate your children. But teachers, ah, the blessed teachers! Those for whom It's All About The Kids, as we've learned so many times over the past two years! They have carte blanche to indoctrinate and groom your children as they will. And how will that work out for them? Well, according to a new Trafalgar Poll: Not great. Not great. Republicans soar to a preposterous 13.5% lead on the generic Congressional ballot.
Of the 1,083 likely general election voters surveyed between 01/12/22 and 01/15/22, just 38.7 percent approved of Biden's performance and 59.2 percent disapproved. Nearly 50 percent of voters said they strongly disapprove of the job Biden is doing. ... Trafalgar's party preference poll, conducted between 01/12/22 and 01/15/22, resulted in very ominous numbers for congressional Democrats. ... Respondents said they preferred Republicans over Democrats 55.7 percent to 42.2 percent.

My wife was a public school teacher. She wasn't allowed to talk about Jesus any time she wanted to, even if it could have helped a kid. Since courts decided that authorities at school are like "Congress" making laws putting people under the authority of Churches, she knew that she didn't have a "right" to say what she wanted.
Now, curriculum is decided by administrators--even *further* up. If administrators can be "censored" in the curriculum, then any administrator that doesn't get his choice of textbooks is being "censored". Because the administration picks what this textbook says and not what that one says.
This is soooo stupid. And, I daresay bullshit.

Ours is a top 5% school in the state. Every parent is a Tiger Mom/Karen helicopter parent. My kid was upset once about a "bad" math test. The "bad" grade? 91. It's that kind of environment.
Another kid is at a charter school and there it's the same. No fucking around. Teachers don't put up with any bullshit and the principal is not afraid to expel students who aren't cutting it or don't want to be there. The goal is Stanford or bust, that's kind of the joke.
Point being there is still good education out there. My view is parents make the education system. If parents care, the education will be good. If they give no fucks, it will not be.

There is no such coherent thing as a "right" to the left's "left". And yet, the left are defined by advocacy or resistance to some 19th century writer's theory about how history was going to go--which has "never been tried".
They can't live in reality, because Marxism must take you away from reality to "dream" how things could otherwise be. From then on the wishful thinking, distorts all further perceptions of what IS.

Personally I think a lot of them are afraid of everyone finding out how dumb they actually are. I've run into some public school teachers over the years and I've yet to see one that impressed me with their intellect. Most of them teach straight from the textbook when they bother it all to teach. My 10th grade world history teacher back in the late seventies could go on for hours about the Peloponnesian Wars. I doubt there's a 10th grade world history teacher now that could find Iran on a globe.

So yes, Democrat will defend this hill and die on it, because if they lose here, they could be rolled up on a lot of other places.
Conceptually, unionizing teachers is kind of a bad idea, despite several of my really good high school teachers defending it (oh, so many years ago in the 1970's).
In reality, it has become a truly terrible idea in its execution. Teaching children is no longer their priority. Defending the downward spiral of education and quality of teaching is.

I've paid taxes to my local school district for 30 years. My children went to private school except their final couple years. Easily have paid over $150,000 in school taxes in that time, maybe twice that if you adjust for inflation.
Sounds like a lot until you realize that's only going to pay the superintendents pension for a single year. I should have worked that fourth job for a couple of more years, then I wouldn't be complaining.

I remember coming home grossed out by the explicit crap I was having to read in English class. Incest, pedophilia, bestiality, etc. My parents complained (I did not know that until years later) but were basically told they were rubes. I also complained to my teacher and was told I just didn't understand the beautiful symbolism in those scenes. Well, I didn't, and still don't, want to be the kind of person who reads an explicit description of a 35yo man waiting eagerly for a 9yo girl to have her first period so he can rape her and thinks "Gosh, what lovely symbolism!"

It's not really that "Dems" have chosen this hill to die on; the real problem for them is that there is absolutely no leadership at all on top, no one to make choices or say "this really isn't a good idea". So what happens is that every vested interest group that's part of their coalition - in this case the Teachers Union and the Ed. Establishment - go nuclear whenever *their* personal grift and fiefdoms are challenged, and they drag the party into their fight with them, even if it's a stupid, destructive, battle that will damage all of them.
There's no one on the Left who can say "No!" to any of this, which is a big reason they are failing, and will continue to fail.

It's a good thing, but in the end, it is another government problem, government solution pair, where the solution is ripe for abuse. The solution does not address the base problem of the dominance of leftists and their organizations in the sphere of education. You are meant to surrender your child to the state for indoctrination. It is a band aid meant to prolong that dominance. We will need to revisit the same in a few years, just like VAERS was meant to track vaccine adverse events, and it appears to capture only 5-10% of the current cases, and of those, the information is highly politicized in favor of protecting the status quo.

I don't know if I remember this happening during the day, but I do remember evening events when all the teachers and classes were open, and the parents went to each room to meet/greet with the teachers and the kids. Examples of where we were at as far as instruction at that point during the year, and what level we'd be finishing at. This was elementary. My High School did weekend events, which a blast as they'd work a fundraiser in there as well, sort of an educational carnival (private school).
I had a math teacher who was running a craps table shaking down the parents. Starting at a nickel, the stakes rose quickly. He taught parents (and kids) the basics of probabilities and statistics in 20 minutes. He made a few thousand dollars that weekend for the school.

I saw a similar (or the same?) picture on the twatters and some psychos in the comments said it's no big deal because they used to have *recess* in cold weather.
Someone should make them sit down on the ground (no grass allowed!) outside in below freezing temps and tie them down so they can't move about for an hour. It's amazing how many people are ok with cruelty to children (and sick and other vulnerable people) because of muh Corona.
And the school district (Fairfax, NoVa, IIRC) was like, oh no, it wasn't a big deal. We were actually being nice because we were giving them a break from masking up.
Lots of folks need to be locked up.

I also recently saw several photos - different schools - of kids out in freezing and/or raining weather to eat their lunches, since the cafeteria was too damned dangerous for the kids. One post mentioned that they weren't allowed to play during recess, because they'd be breathing too heavily and that would promote the spread of death. So best they sit still and quietly outside to preserve oxygen. Like they're locked in a bank vault.

Yep. Learning management systems like Canvas even give parents an "observer" role in the course so the parents can really track 1) what's being taught in the content and 2) the student's performance. But you have to know how to use the tools as a teacher and as a parent.

Yep. Looking back I can count the number of teachers I had who were actually smart on one hand. When you have teachers who send you to the eye doctor because "Horrors! That cow demon is writing letters FROM THE BOTTOM!!!" or "You don't know how to write cursive? We learned already. Too bad. Learn on your own." (From moving from a place which didn't teach it until third grade and instead taught it in second) it's not an indication that they are smart or ambitious.

A lot of teachers and schools didn't go along with this.
And it's hard to hide the curriculum when you send the course agenda, its school books, and its assignments home with the kids.
But when was the last time you saw your kids textbooks?

Sure there are some good public schools, but most of the teachers are leftist acolytes who went to leftist colleges."
Let's be honest... The fact that the people teaching your kids these days are crap has much less to do with their political views than the fact that they.just.aren't.smart...
Having seen what was required for someone to teach high school chemistry (and the subsequent results for those "teachers"), I lost all faith in our education system.

I cannot recall the Cuban Missile Crisis. I also cannot recall doing a Duck and Cover Drill in school. We lived a long way from any Russian first strike targets, throughout my grade school and Junior High days. The only time in all of my school years I got a bit worried about the Rooskies was in 1973 when Nixon went to DefCon 3 during the Yom Kippur War.
