    Thank goodness you've dropped that mantra for BBC.

    I've had very few troubles with any of my kids teachers. The few that did come up were taken care of with a little bit of discussion between us. We are blessed that both kids can think for themselves and know the world is full of all types of people, from both extremes and everything in between. We are very tolerant and have family discussion where we agree to chuckle and shake our head and then more on. I try to get my kids to understand that if a serious personality conflict exists, just do you work. Do very good and complete work that forces the teacher to give you the grade you deserve. And should the day come that an obvious discrepancy comes to light, we will have a third party look it over and decide. There will always be people who disagree, sometimes strongly. Keep the faith, keep doing what you are supposed to do and do it well, and it will almost always work out.

    Well it does seem that we have a bunch of these stories lately. May be the kids are just getting brave enough to come forward.

    Young minds are moldable and teachers/professors are aware of that. Many students have not been prepared at home to respond appropriately to teachers/professors who promote a political agenda in the classroom. I think that is why more situations are not reported by students.

    So one teacher screws up and that means that "many teachers are doing this in our schools"?

    and how would everyone feel if the teacher was preaching race hatred? teacher's personal belief or opinions have no place in any class room.

    So my comment is this being as I am married to a 25 year Teacher. My wife always teaches that there are three things you never ask in life: 1. How much do you make? 2. Who you voted for ? 3. Never ask a woman how old or how much she weighs!

    That being said it's not only the students who these teachers attack but it also the other teachers they do this to as well. I say the silent majority will only continue to grow larger in this country and the media will continue to be baffled by it!

    Quit because someone said something mean to him. Changed to somewhere that catered to him. Still holds a grudge. If that doesn't check most of the snowflake blocks then I don't know what does.

    Did anyone take the. Time to open the link jigman posted?

    Here is a cut and paste from that article

    Today, for example, K-2 students at Edina Highlands Elementary School are learning—through the “Melanin Project”—to focus on skin color and to think of white skin as cause for guilt. “Equity” is listed as a primary criterion on the district’s evaluation for K-5 math curricula. At Edina High School, teachers are haranguing students on “White Privilege,” and drilling into them that white males oppress and endanger women. In a U.S. Literature and Composition class, 11th-graders are being taught to “apply marxist [sic], feminist” and “post-colonial” “lenses to literature.”
    “In short,” Kersten concludes, “in Edina, reading, writing, math and critical thinking skills are taking a backseat to an ideological crusade.”
    American Experiment President John Hinderaker first exposed Edina’s left-wing classroom activism in a series of posts on the Center’s website earlier this year. He cited how 80 Edina High School teachers posted what amounted to a left-wing political manifesto following the election of Donald Trump as president. His initial post prompted an outpouring from parents, students and even some Edina teachers, who condemned other elements of extreme partisanship. They described how:
    • A teacher tearfully told a classroom of 100 students that “the election was rigged.”
    • Another teacher announced to a class that “Trump winning was worse than 9/11 and the Columbine shooting.”
    • Students gathered in the high school commons on election shouting F'ck Trump as teachers watched on and did nothing.

    Cllass pure class

    It's time to realize we don't live in a "nice little comfy place" anymore. It's time to stop pretending that it's wrong to take a side or a stance and SPEAK UP. This parent did exactly the right thing and more people need to stop hiding behind "see-through" curtains and take a damn stance. It's not all bad but it's surely not all roses either.

    There is much more of this type of stuff going on than reported. I will refrain from further comments as not to get the thread closed.
