The Criminalization of Parents

The teacher unions have long paid bribes to the Democrats for special treatment.  They now want to collect … big time:

The NSBA letter (see here) begins rather ominously by declaring that “America’s public schools and its education leaders are under an immediate threat” and that “immediate assistance” is therefore “required to protect our students, school board members, and educators who are susceptible to acts of violence affecting interstate commerce because of threats to their districts, families, and personal safety.” The NSBA is essentially declaring a “State of Emergency” for America’s government school system.  Let that sink in for a moment.

    1. WE have our very own FASCISTS in Education in Canada….LOTS n LOTS of em.
      On Monday, Calgarians go to the Polls – Civic election which includes not only the Mayor/Councillors, but School Trustees as well. I decided to query all 4 that were running in our Ward.

      Posted yesterday but well worth a re-run..
      This is what I asked them:

      Kindly tell me your position on the Following..??

      TEACHING Fundamentals & ONLY Teaching Fundamentals in School:
      MATHAMATICS, ENGLISH comprehension, WRITING/Composition SKILLS, ACTUAL HISTORY with an Emphasis on the 20th Century, Geography and REAL SCIENCE, as opposed to Marxist style indoctrination in Gender bending, LGBT induction, Critical Race Theory, “Systemic Racism” and other Woke LEFTIST material.

      :No ZERO’s.??
      :No Failures.?
      :Mask mandates for Students – Mandatory Vaccinations for All – Lockdowns.
      I will vote based on your answers..

      This is one reply I got:

      “…By the language and tone of your email, I can assure you that I’m, unfortunately, NOT your candidate. Any time at all spent on my website will convey to you that we do NOT align in our philosophy of education…”

      Tone..??? Talk about snotty smug Leftist Arrogance – a True KAREN…..and those of her ilk, a real CANCER in our society….all Wannabe NAZI’s

      (I guess that makes me a domestic terrorist too eh.??)

  2. If the resistance ever gets its act together there will be a mass migration out of public schools. Paradoxically, that will only increase the cost of public education.

    1. Them dogs don’t hunt and they certainly can’t teach.

      All my kids got private education…with no small amount of sacrifice.

      1. Well done, sir.

        Never forget, “Those who can’t do, teach;”
        and, “Only an idiot permits his enemy to educate his children.”

        1. Your first quotation is idiotic. Do a little research, and you will find many Nobel laureates in physics praising their teachers, eventually becoming teachers, themselves.

          Oppenheimer, Bethe, Teller, Fermi, Wheeler, Bohr, Lawrence, Compton, Szilard, Wigner, von Neumann, and many more- the key scientists of the atomic bomb – all taught. Was the atomic bomb real? Were the Nobel prizes won by many of them meaningless? What actions, exactly, qualify as “ do “ in your world?

          If you can’t defend that quote, just stop with the stupidity, already.

          1. Did they teach elementary or middle school? I want to send my eight year old to that school so he can get a “Nobel Prize” too. If not, maybe he can win one for pretending to be a Magic Negro.

          2. “small c conservative” eh? Is your bowtie spinning, you useless, sententious little twat, you gamma soi boi? How dare a traitor who’s conserved nothing correct someone with more intellect than you can dream of?

          3. None of the prize winners was educated during the last 50 years. In the 1940s Ontario taught calculus in its High Schools. Long gone when I started in the late 1950s. Implementation of the Hall-Dennis Report was the great disaster in Ontario’s educative experience.

    2. But not private education. Kaching! The law of natural selection in action. DeMarxists and John Gill are at the behest of insidious and insular teachers’ unions, who can’t stand the heat so they try to throw parents out of their kitchen where they cook up CRT bitter brew.

      The incompetent leading the negligent, neither with any concern for their clients – citizens or students – but plenty for their own power.
      The threat is to their careers, it’s abundantly clear. They’re part of the collective who’s ace in the hole is oblivious and apathetic voters.
      The revolution started by parents might get finished by teachers who must now dump the collectivists to prove their public bona fides.
      Add other unions to that list. Grass roots decision making must be reasserted to truly take on the illiberty macro-virus that is statism.
      The same goes for corporate annual general meetings with minority owner boards turfed for their anti-shareholder wokeism bungling.
      There are many ways to make views known, to show common sense’s critical mass, such as editorial pages and public meetings.

      It’s called political participation and without a big uptick in accountability the sure of everything while knowing nothing crowd will finally and fully break us, with lower productivity set to plummet as boomers consume their retirement funds and healthcare entitlements.

      Am I hopeful this will happen? Yes, certainly. Optimistic? Not really. Is there any evidence we will rise up? None whatsoever.
      If we man the barricades against increasing interventionism progressing to totalitarianism, we give license to tyrants to violate us.
      The velvet glove of censorship and panicked school board letters to Attorneys General will be pulled off to reveal lethal Marxist steel.
      Public goodwill has been given to those claiming certainty over ideas clearly in doubt, that aren’t believed. It stops or civil society dies.
      Facebook got outed, but everybody knew they were ideological, not commercial, one look at their shitty businesses shows that.
      But they like their oligarchical status, so they lunatic rage on racist US warming the planet, pretending to be presenting reality.

  3. You have to remember that disagreement with leftist policies is racist, sexist and homophobic. This drives everything leftists believe in. Nothing is more offensive for a leftatd than someone who disagrees with them.

  4. After my experiences at Armpit College, nothing surprises me about the educational system any more.

  5. It should be interesting if (when) the leftist vaccine mandates get extended to the younger kids and there is a migration of students away from public schools and into homeschooling. Counter-intuitive for them.

    1. Not really counter-intuitive; more like prophetic. How many rights have been stripped away now? Think them trying to force you to send your kids to their schools “to get a proper education” because its “in the best interests of the children” is a stretch at this point?

      We can vote our way in, but we’ll be shooting our way out.

  6. If we ever get a chance to shrink the overbearing state, let’s make public sector unions illegal. Government workers anyway tend left, preferring the security of climbing a hierarchy, assured of a salary and pension to the vagaries of creating value and selling into a market. Bureaucrats are incapable of protecting public interest against the organised Marxists who become union reps.

    1. Agreed, outlaw public sector unions and teachers unions.
      They are not behaving in the interest of the people they are supposed to serve.

      The problem with bureaucracies is there metrics of success are not based on solving problems. A manager in any bureaucracy sees success as the size of their budget and the head count that report to them. What that head count accomplishes is irrelevant.

    2. Preaching to the choir…been saying that for years.

      Public Service Unions are to me the True Root of all the Leftist Evil enveloping Western Society.

  7. Doug – no doubt you should want to send your 8 year old there. But there is only so much any school can do to overcome what the child picks up from the parent at home.

    1. When kids graduate from high school and can’t read or write, do simple math,
      there’s a serious problem here. People are not doing their job. They are indoctrinating and dumbing down to be easier to control.
      When universities cannot accept high school grads directly into degree programs with out a year of upgrading, there needs to be changes in K-12.

      1. When universities cannot accept high school grads directly into degree programs with out a year of upgrading, there needs to be changes in K-12.

        We constantly complained about it at Armpit College. There were times I had to spend a significant portion of my lectures teaching material that my students should have known before starting my courses.

        Inevitably, we’d be told by our administrators that we have to work with what we’re given. In other words, I was expected to make silk purses out of sow’s ears.

  8. Teaching is a God-given gift. Those who have it, hone and build that gift through training and practice, use it with remarkable skill and success.

    Unfortunately, there are many “teachers” who are only there for the money, security, benefits, and summers off to go travel and get a nice tan. We all have our good teacher – bad teacher stories, and then the stories of the teachers who should have never been around young children as they were toxic time-release skin bags.

    What amazes me, always, is how the Marxist mindsets always rise to the top and push their regressive and harmful attitudes and doctrine to the forefront and always get them approved and implemented.

  9. A school shooter is out on bail in 24 hours and the FBI is attacking parents at school board meetings.

    1. Well, yeah. Keep us cowering in fear, that’s the entirety of the leftist mandate. All else leads to that. Stay home, watch Netflix, shut up and let us handle everything while we milk you for your earnings to throw at scum so they keep voting for us, you insignificant peon.

      Filth, every last one of them. Hang ’em high.

      1. NAZI’s….the Entire Western Hemisphere Body Politic including Every Public “Service” Union (_i_)hole right alongside.

        Period – that will be all.
        We either stand up and say NOPE, Not happening or we end up as Digital Slaves and any notion of freedom Dies….FOREVER.

  10. Are they genuinely afraid that one fine day a father who actually loves his children will show up to a school board meeting with a loaded pistol and be prepared to use it?

    Then they need to do what parents ask them to do or stand aside in favour of someone who will.
