You better make sure your son is 100% accurate though because she can easily refute it and you don't want your son to be targeted.
No you are not over reacting either as no teacher should ever discuss politics or religion.
I made it a priority with my guys this election to switch topics if they asked or tell them it's a personal choice.

How about talking to your son yourself? Tell him how the world works and use this to teach him. You're the one God gave the responsibility to raise him, do it. Maybe question her privately and calmly, but don't make a scene. That's wrong.

Demand that she be made to apologize to the class and she retracts what she said. She should be written up.

I wouldn't speak to her alone. I'd want a witness so it can't be turned around by her. Either that or skip her and go to the principal -- he/she needs to know anyway
If resolution is t to your liking, pull the child out. I'm not normally the "move your child if you don't like the teacher" but this is different. He can't decide things like that for himself and it's not the teachers job to indoctrinate him.
Good luck.

Ask to put your kid in a different teachers class if you don't trust her

I would talk to the teacher first. Then I'd go to the principal--you'll have more info to share at that point. But that's just me.
I'd explain to the teacher that young children (age 5) are more harmed by having adults' fears projected onto them (a kindergartner has little to no understanding of such complex issues) than they are by having a developmentally appropriate conversation--one that YOU choose whether or not to have with your child--at home.
Going in with guns blazing, making demands, etc. will likely do nothing more than cause anxiety to you, your child, and the professionals at school. The teacher very definitely sounds like she's in the wrong, and that needs to be addressed; but keep in mind that unless you plan to withdrawal your child from the school, your child is the one whose relationship with his/her teacher will be negatively affected by an overly emotional response by you.
Best of luck. I'm really sorry it happened.

It's time to start demanding that the people instructing our kids stop this sort of bull shite.
Good luck!

You are not overreacting. I am a high school civics teacher so you can imagine the tip toeing I have to do when it comes to discussions in class, especially with this campaign and election over the past year. There is absolutely no place in a classroom for a teacher to promote their political views. As a teacher my role is to educate the students about the facts of the political system and the candidates and let them make up their own minds.

You are not overreacting. Proceed as planned and if the principal doesn't respond appropriately, find a better situation for your child. This is the kind of bullshite that is brainwashing our young people.

I'd have been on the phone with the principal tonight demanding that my kid be switched to a different class with a different teacher. Absolutely no reason for political biases being taught in school, especially to kindergarteners who have understanding and believe anything they're told. Not even my kid and I'm triggered af
If prinicpal doesnt resolve it to your satisfaction, take it to school board. Don't let this bullshite slide or else this teacher is going to keep indoctrinating those kids to her own political bias

Not her job to pass her opinion to little kids. AND THAT IS YOUR DAUGHTER BRO! Go get 'em

As a teacher I can say that her remarks were inappropriate. You need to meet with the administrators over this IMO or she will continue to act this way. She knows better or, at least she should.

If I talk to her, how do I know she won't retaliate and take it out on my kid? Kids are easily manipulated. I am not satisfied until she is placed on leave or fired.
Take her some MAGA gear (hats, shirt, posters) as parting gifts and tell her "thanks for playing, here's the home version for ya" on the way out the door.

Absolutely do not talk to the teacher by yourself. If she's the type of loon that will cry and spew ignorance to 5 year olds, she's probably unstable. And you don't want to be alone with someone like that.
