“It’s impossible for a teacher to know what’s in the minds of parents when she starts her lesson,” Goodmark said. “For parents to be able, with a political agenda, to come in from outside the classroom and have a teacher fired is completely unfair. It’s not right. It’s terrible for Georgia’s education system.”Some might say it's similarly unfair that teachers have been doing this themselves, and parents have had no say in it up until now...
She had been a teacher for 10 years when she got into trouble in March at Due West elementary school for reading the picture book My Shadow Is Purple by Scott Stuart, after which some parents complained.
Elementary school. That means ages 5-10. Shouldn't they be reading about Pokemon or dinosaurs instead of transgender and identity fluid issues at that age?
Rinderle declined comment after the vote but released a statement through the Southern Poverty Law Center, which helped represent her. “The district is sending a harmful message that not all students are worthy of affirmation in being their unapologetic and authentic selves,” Rinderle said in the statement. “This decision, based on intentionally vague policies, will result in more teachers self-censoring in fear of not knowing where the invisible line will be drawn.”
Or maybe it will result in teachers sticking to teaching what pupils of ages 5 to 10 should be learning about? And not sending harmful messages about adult subjects in defiance of what the parents wish?
None of the board members discussed the decision, but the school district lawyer Sherry Culves said at the hearing that discussing gender identity and gender fluidity was inappropriate. “The Cobb county school district is very serious about the classroom being a neutral place for students to learn,” Culves said at the hearing. “One-sided instruction on political, religious or social beliefs does not belong in our classrooms.”
Who can really argue with that?
Southern Poverty Law Center, a race baiting, progressive Soros funded organisation. Her association with it should ring alarm bells for any parent.
ReplyDeleteLike social work, teaching as a profession has long been taken over by the "progressives" (otherwise known as the feminist, communist, nihilist pervert brigade).
ReplyDeleteYou'd be hard-pressed today to find a single normal teacher in any western nation.
Come the day, when everyone as had enough, at least it will be easy to identify and deal with them all. Hang the social workers, teachers, professors, most of the medical and nursing profession, every senior police and army officer and ... there won't be anyone left (except every single one of the Uniparty of course, but hanging is too good for them so we need something 'special' for them).

I know a few. All of them self-censor. All the time.
