The school district apologized and said it was inappropriate for the teacher to impose her political opinion upon the class. [...]

Teachers and school administrators are leaders in Antifa and BAMN who recruit their students and use them for their own goals. They are filling high positions in school districts. [...]

Two parents who objected were afraid to be identified for fear of retaliation. One child was sent to the principal’s office for calling the transitional child by the male name. [...]

(ANTIMEDIA) Weld County, CO —  Active shooter drills in schools are becoming more commonplace nationwide, and now even teachers are joining in for firearms training under Colorado law. A Second Amendment group says it’s “the first time we’ve taken it this far.”

For many highly-qualified individuals, who are experts in their fields, teaching in government schools is not a possibility. Lacking the proper teaching licensure, many knowledgeable and experienced individuals are prohibited from public school teaching.

Throughout 27 years of teaching classes in Cross-cultural Psychology, Critical Thinking, Brainwashing, Propaganda and Rhetoric and Social Psychology at universities and community colleges, I’ve been only dimly aware of how the decline of capitalism and its increasing instability has affected my teaching experience.

A high school teacher in Texas was caught on video slapping a student on the head five times while calling him an “idiot ass,” leading to her arrest.
Mary Hastings, 63, who teaches geometry at Ozen High School in Beaumont, was charged with assault.

Then she began slapping him in the head.

If graded in terms of encouraging and developing a well-rounded and informed citizenry in a democratic country, the best most public schools I am familiar with would be a “D”.  Put simply and bluntly, our public primary and secondary schools, our community colleges and universities are bureaucratic institutions whose main social and intellectual aim and achievement is the indoctrination of students in the prevailing corporatist-consumerist-racist-sexist social norms and whose primary institutional interest is self-preservation.
