And now a brief message from your local teacher's union.

VOR is not going to like this one bit.

None of this is happening in his nursing home so it’s not happening at all.

We must defeat these people in every sense of the word.

Any parent that willingly sends their kids to public schools should be investigated for child abuse.

Some public schools are fantastic. They're in ISDs. It's usually a suburb where only millionaires can live. Rich people have much higher IQs and so do their kids. The schools have tons of money from property taxes where everyone lives in a mansion. This attracts 100 applicants for each teaching position that pays double what regular school districts pay. It's capitalism at work.

Doesn't sound very diverse.

It's diverse...whites, Jews and Asians. One problem...they usually have terrible football teams.

There's a couple of simple things that will stop this shite.

A punch in the mouth or handcuffs come to mind.

Paolo Freire’s “Pedagogy of the Oppressed” has completely taken over public education.

Reason #5,7326 to get your kids out of public school.

At least no one is over reacting

Note the word "willingly"

I don't consider people who have no choice financially (i.e., cannot afford private school or all single parent and cannot home school) to be "willing." ISDs as mentioned are outliers and also have very high parental involvement and oversight to where this sort of shite wouldn't happen (and if it did, it wouldn't for long).

Zach is half right. Depending on the "culture" of the area, you don't have to live in a million dollar home.

I really don't like reposting suff I posted just a few days ago, but I will make an exception here because it is on point -

The Newsday newspaper had a list of this year Regeneron finalists from the NY area suburbs. These are the kind of kids that are going to be running things and they all go to public high schools here in the suburbs. It is true that some of the work is done in alliance with local colleges, but they are more of a "distant advisor" role as far as I understand. I am impressed with the work,

In fact the list is quite long but so as not to make this too long, here are just the top few finalists - It's amazing that most of this was done when the kids were 16 and 17 years old.

The students researched a variety of topics, from the use of artificial intelligence to categorizing wildfire origins, attitudes toward the war in Ukraine and the neurobiology of suicide. Regeneron scholars typically spend weeks or months on their projects, working closely with mentors who guide their research. Projects can often take more than a year. The Regeneron Science Talent Search is a proving ground for future scientific genius. The prestigious competition dates back to 1942, when it was known as the Westinghouse Science Talent Search. More recently, it was sponsored by Intel until 2016. Over its 83-year history, the competition has produced semifinalists and finalists who have gone on to become Nobel Prize winners (13), National Medal of Science recipients (11), and MacArthur fellows (20).

At Great Neck South, senior Alexander Xu, 17, was among the students recognized for his research. A volunteer EMT, his project involved a new way to search radiology reports. He developed his research over the summer while working in a lab at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. “To get this award, people spent their summer working in labs, and that includes reading a lot of literature each day and really critically thinking about what they are reading and how they can improve on what they read.”
