Emotional Social Studies Teacher Rant

Academia needs an enema

Even in my neck of the woods(OK) is not safe from this(see owasso teacher)

I'm seriously considering homeschooling my kids. I wouldn't trust this woman to teach my kids their ABC's.

She looks like Simba from the Lion King.

She's wrong about Ohio.

Since I am a teacher with a masters degree in secondary education, I want to express a couple of things.

1. Despite the beliefs of many, the majority of teachers I know are conservative. Maybe it is because I have always taught in rural Alabama, but I can honestly say that 90% of my colleagues are conservative. Some, like myself, are VERY conservative. I throw my NEA magazines away without reading them. The only reason I am in the NEA or the AEA is because I need to have legal representation if I am sued.

2. The current curriculum is geared toward leftist agendas. Most of us simply teach around it. The desire to create white guilt is real. For example, I teach early American literature. The original curriculum was from the Puritan period through 1900. I am now being asked to dump a great deal of that in order to teach Warriors Don't Cry, a memoir about the integration of Little Rock's Central High School, and LBJ Great Society.
While I don't disagree with those being taught, I do have a problem injecting them into 18th and 19th Century literature. Every class seems to have a need to hammer home the civil rights movement and how awful white people are.

These teachers are not common in my area, but they do exist.

Well she is LITERALLY wrong about Ohio LITERALLY always voting for the winner

HRC represents everything she is upset about.
