Public schooling is one of the riskiest but necessary things all American parents must deal with. Parents are sending their kids to government buildings for eight hours a day to be taught whatever may be in the district’s curriculum. It is only human nature for them to worry if maybe their kids will be taught the wrong things. To combat this, most schools have what is commonly called public school board meetings in which parents have the opportunity to speak up and question what is being taught to their children. At least that’s what it WAS for.
Not too long ago, when democracy was considered something worth preserving, school board meetings were used to better understand what the community and parents wanted their impressionable kids to learn. Now they are nothing but a formality. You would be stupid to think school districts actually value and care about the discussion that goes on. To quote former Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe “...I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach”.
This may come as a surprise to many of you, but the top-down control of the federal government directly deciding how to brainwash your children is not normal. For all of human history, in any moral society, parents do have a say in what their kids are taught. Obviously, the exact ins and outs of the specific things students are taught should be handled by professionals, but parents have a right to decide the general concept and philosophy that is being taught, like, I don’t know, maybe that “whiteness” isn’t a fault and America IS a good place. A community will do an infinitely better job at teaching kids than a billion-dollar teachers union or a corrupt district hundreds of miles away. Why? Because the community has something called incentive. They have a legitimate reason to teach the students right because it’s the students that will be the ones who have to continue contributing to the local community. School districts just need to make sure a certain amount of them pass so they can keep their funding.
If you agree that parents have a say in what is being taught then you should definitely have a problem with what is going on in board meetings now.
As I previously stated board meetings have become nothing but a formality. So in an effort to keep frustrated parents silent, they have restricted them in every way possible. Your allowed one minute to speak. If you exceed your mic is muted. The board has the ability to regulate what you are allowed to ask. And worst of all in the end what parents say are just words and the school in no way has to listen to you.
On June 22 Scott Smith was arrested in a Loudon County, Virginia, school board meeting. He came to address his concerns about how a “trans” student was openly walking into girls’ bathrooms and rapeing them. One case being his own daughter. When his concerns were clearly being ignored and he began to get frustrated, he was arrested. While the rapest walks free, he still sits in jail. Does the school board care about him, his daughter, or anyone else affected by their radical transgender policy? Well, clearly not since they are unwilling to make any serious change.
Scott Smith is just another of many parents labeled a domestic terrorist. It’s quite obvious your dealing with democrats when using your first amendment right to simply question what your kids are being taught means you're being a terrorist.
Kids ARE being taught critical race theory in schools and other radical leftist propaganda. Parents are hopeless in stepping in because they are being silenced whenever they try to stop it. It’s nonsense and disgusting. Kids are the most crucial element in American life, they must be fought for.
