    Lean left has taken on a new meaning in America. It means not poorly educated, easily led, bigoted and perpetually afraid and aggrieved. I apologize for your continued confusion.

    There is no guarantee a conservative teacher won’t go rogue either. You can never make those kind of guarantees.

    It’s generalizations like this that make America so dysfunctional today.

    In other words, you have no evidence other than your inherent biases. That’s what I thought. All the while complaining about the suspected but unproven biases of OTHER people.

    Sadly, right-wing radicalization happens to a lot of people.

    Years ago he did some documentary where he talked about the tragedy of decreasing religiousness in American and compared atheism to naziism.

    So you are ok with whatever happens as long as it champions your ideology?

    If this keeps up there will probably be some pissed off parents, including Republicans, whose kids have less AP choices because of Desantis and his band of Christian Taliban merrymen.

    I’ve already shared with this board two stories about my children at school. Libbie teachers have ridiculed my girl in front of the entire class for not leaning left. Singled her out.
    It matters what happens to my kids. I don’t care if the liberal media never reports it. They’re more aligned with you so they’re not interested.

    Yeah I forgot about that. What an awful human being. Ironic him (whom I assume is Jewish) trivializing the holocaust by comparing everything to it.

    No I wouldn’t. I didn’t put my children in a religious school for a reason.
    And I don’t want teachers talking up trump either.

    did you even read it mr radical?


    The major policy implication is for state legislators, school boards, and parents to restrict the growth of DEI bureaucracy, which exists not only in institutions of higher education but also in K–12 education. It is likely the professional liberal activists, not the classroom teachers, who are the driving force behind many DEI initiatives that are permeating some school districts.
    These administrative employees—who are extremely well organized, but represent a minority viewpoint—are motivated by political goals, while most classroom teachers are motivated to help students to learn.


    Overall, these results could be good news for parents who are concerned about the growing influence of progressive ideology in public schools. Teachers may very well be allies, rather than opponents, in the pushback against the use of CRT and other divisive ideologies in the classroom.

    If DeSantis doubles down as he’s apt to do and prohibits this AP class and/or others the mamas and papas will be screaming when Amber is unable to get the credit to lift her GPA enough.

    So you would be happy to deny my kid the opportunity to take a high school AP course based on your religious beliefs. Noted.
