I think a much better case can be made in the employer context, personally, and leaving that part out would have disarmed a lot of critics IMO.
Me, too. I mean, me neither. I had 2 incidents of overtly political teachers, but not until college. One was anti-military, and one had a definite feminist bent.
I swear, if Jesus Christ himself, for some unknowable reason, decided to become an American elementary school teacher, parents and politicians would criticize. "You're teaching them immaculate conception!?" "You're consorting with prostitutes?" "What's with all this love one another, and turn the other cheek business? Are you trying to emasculate the culture with your leftist love crap?"
A new and groundbreaking study (released yesterday) found that 98% of transgender children in the study continued their gender-affirming care into adulthood.

So, are you of the opinion K-3 teachers should be crafting lesson plans based around lbgt and transexual education?
our democracy requires protection of the minority part of the electorate. it si one of the fundamental principles that gives us stability to prevent wild whipsaws with changes in leadership. our legislative branches have been abdicating their responsibility and just voting party line and it is now up to a judiciary that is becoming increasing politically influenced to ensure that the minority side of the gubmnt is protected.
I'd like to click come on man and be done with your silly comment, but I'm more interested in how you came up with the idea such a proposal has been seriously discussed anywhere by any school system. May I assume you have some facts?
she was harsh on magapublicans and refused to accept their demigod's illegal and unconstitutional actions
Did they specify that an advanced degree = graduate? Keep in mind that some of those w advanced degrees did not necessarily earn them in education. For example, some may have earned degrees in Literature/History, but not with certification. But they have an "advanced" degree. I have a master degree student in my discipline + education who did not pursue the teacher track in undergraduate. They will qualify to teach at a private school, but not a public. Anecdotally I will say that they are marginally qualified to teach, though they possess a Master's degree. OTOH in the spring we graduated a person with a Master's degree who also did not pursue education at the undergraduate level. They are currently teaching private school and are highly qualified.
Just FYI - a master's degree in some districts = 8k bump. Just the other day a local teacher/grad of our program showed the pay scale and at certain steps, the diff w master's was more than 10k. When I taught in FL, it was only 3.5k. I imagine it's a good bit more now. The question of a Master's degree for teachers comes down to 1) Is it required? (Master's for public school teachers are required in only four states). 2) Is the timing right? (Does life have you in the right place to pursue, including the possibility of fully online) 3) Is it fiscally prudent? Some Master's program tuition will be 20k total. Some will be 200k. For many teachers, the Master's degree pays for itself and then some. They ain't free and most aren't cheap - just gotta finish in two years under reasonable tuition. I'll leave the quality of the online Master's for another thread.
We'll, this is what they would lose their license for If you don't support intentionally teaching lbgt and transgender material in K-3 classrooms then what is the issue? If a teacher in my 7 year olds class was teaching about any type of sex related thing intentionally I'd want them to lose their license.
