a significant % of public school teachers are nutjobs, even in suburban texas. see "libs of tiktok" for reference.

IRVING, Texas — Hundreds of students walked out of MacArthur High School on Wednesday in protest after teachers were allegedly forced to take down "safe space" stickers on their classroom doors.
The students could be seen walking onto the school's football field and around the building during the afternoon.
Students told WFAA that two teachers who sponsor the school's Gay-Straight Alliance Club handed out "safe space" stickers to all teachers for them to put on their doors if they were comfortable having discussions with students who identified as LGBTQIA+.

I don't know why you would stop teachers from putting up a small sticker.
LGBTQ teens tend to really struggle through those years. Many commit suicide due to their inability to cope with the rejection they may face at home or in school.
I know my son's class had 2 gay kids commit suicide because of the way their parents reacted to them.

Why is this a school club, and why would these idiots hand out these stickers?
I would have thrown that straight in the trash.

Wait, so were the students mad that they had to take down the stickers? Or were they protesting to force them to take down the stickers?

When you say 2 in your kids class do you mean highschool class or like middle school home room class?

Because then, if anyone doesn’t put up their stupid sticker for whatever reason, they will mark them an “unsafe space”. (Even when it’s nothing of the sort)
It’s little passive aggressive bullshite. They mask it in this nonsense but really it’s a tool of persecution. Totalitarianism 101. It’s the soft sell.
It’s like the rainbow filters on FB.

It just depends on scale used
A lot of suburban schools are decent in the sense that the education is generally there, there are some decent teachers and there is mixed student motivation/parent involvement. Your kid will go to college, but he might be around a bunch of students who are staying close to home, planning to start by living at home, etc. Which is fine to some extent, but a high portion of kids who do that won't ever transfer or move out or graduate or whatever the ambition is, and if your kids are surrounded by those kids, it can be a negative.
The number of suburban public schools where more than a quarter/third of students are looking beyond commuter colleges and community colleges and expect to go to good privates and large public colleges (a reflection, usually, of parent involvement and higher motivation) is small however. Really small in the southeast.
I think avoiding all wokeness in K-12 is a hard task. Almost any high end private is all about the DEI, although hopefully they're better about keeping it from dominating.

1. Because it's polarizing and pits teachers against teachers.
2. Because teachers aren't trained to counsel.
There's an entire department at the school whose explicit function is to be a safe space for students to have those discussions with professionals...the counseling center. Every student...regardless of their particular issue...should know that they can walk into a counselor's office and talk about anything.

Perhaps it was the a priori assumptions inculcated through social media about the nature of human sexuality and the angst that it openly promotes and endorses which had as much or more influence on those so-called “lgbtq” teens before their parents even uttered a sound or made a face on the topic.
I’m pretty sure your condemnation of the parents is a shallow examination of the details of the topic.

Gay-Straight Alliance has been around for forever. If it helps some people get through the awkward and sometimes tough years of high school , then it is a good thing.

Yes, and it teaches students to catastrophize. Out of the ether, it provides the perception to mixed up young people who are being controlled by emotions and hormones and stupidity that most of the school isn't particularly safe for whatever they're dealing with.
The reality is that most of the issues faced by youth aren't serious, and in prior generations we've told them that and in 10 or 15 years they look back and become the people who tell the next generation that.
So not only are we legitimizing all this stuff, we're telling them they're in a war zone of supporters and detractors and they need to get in here where it's safe and the teachers who don't have the sticker can't harm them.

quote:maybe a hot take but i've always felt this is a bigger part of the problem than the universities. the kids are radicalized by the time they get to college. college allows them to "be who they are" now that they aren't living with parents.
