| Subject: Excellent: Arizona Teachers Went on Strike. Now Lawmakers Aim to Ban Leftist Politics in Classrooms Thu Feb 28, 2019 10:02 pm | |
| A specter is haunting Arizona schools – the specter of socialism. That's according to Representative Kelly Townsend, a Republican legislator from Mesa, now the sponsor of a controversial bill that bars teachers from expressing their political ideology or religious beliefs in the classroom. Townsend explained at a committee hearing on Monday that she has "a very real problem when things like socialism and other ideologies are impressed upon the children outside of the curriculum." "That's my child, and I don't want my child coming out with a poster with a Marxist fist with a pencil on it thinking, 'That's great,'" Townsend said.
