Look, I am going to be honest here… politics has NO place in schools or in the classroom.
I teach math and science. That is what brings me joy. No, I don’t talk about politics with my students. For me, there is no room in my classroom for what’s being shoved at us in a one sided fashion with the expectation that we try and indoctrinate students in our classroom with nonsense. (It’s mostly coming from the left.) No, science is not “racist”. Math is not “racist”. Yet we were forced to attend a “woke” professional development workshop focused on “white fragility in [insert whatever random topic].” We were made to feel that we are all inherent racists that uphold white supremacy because our subject areas are biased. I hope I am not the only one that feels that this is ridiculous. Is everyone just too scared to speak up for fear of losing their job?
The protests, violence, spike in crime, erasure of history, and civil unrest have nothing to do with the murder of George Floyd any longer. Some well intentioned far left liberal teachers organized what they call an “anti racist task force” where they passed around a list signing up teachers to read that “White Fragility” book by Robin DiAngelo. Names, emails, and phone numbers were taken down. No, I did not put my name on that list and I don’t care what anyone says. Someone needs to stand up to this insanity that has taken over our schools. I thought this was only in public schools but it’s spilled over into private schools (where I work) as well.
We talk more about these polarizing and self-deprecating topics than about God.
