| ...do something about it!
Let me first say I’m not going to mention any actual names here to protect my fifteen year old son; we still have to live in this town. This is not the first time I’ve had to go to war with this school district, and I’m sure it won’t be the last.
This latest incident started at the beginning of this school year. I started hearing disturbing comments from my son regarding things his social studies teacher was saying in his class. There were comments like, “white policemen are exterminating blacks across the country.” Or, “the Tea Party is an extremist organization.” Or, “Occupy Wall Street had their human rights violated by being evicted from downtown New York by the police.” Or, “it’s common knowledge that Bush lied about WMD in Iraq.” But what really got my dander up was when I heard this comment: “The Constitution is a document written by rich, old, white men.” This is the founding legal document of the United States of America, and American children are being taught this in public high school social studies? I was shocked and contacted the principal, who asked me to speak to the teacher. I did so and requested a meeting.
She came across as very professional, saying that these things were basically said by other children and was not what she was teaching. She did, however, let a few comments slip that indicated she was of a left-wing frame of mind. I decided at the time that I had made my point and would let it go like a torpedo in the water… That was until two weeks ago. My son came to me and told me he was scared to write a conservative opinion on an essay he was tasked to write. I asked him what he meant, and he told me that the last essay he wrote on immigration was given a bad grade as he presented an anti-immigration viewpoint. The teacher scratched out the words “illegal alien” and replaced them with “undocumented.” He then told me the class was made to watch the entire 1.5 hour movie “Undocumented”, which is an infomercial for the amnesty agenda crowd. The opposing segment was a weak four minute clip on Bill O’Reilly’s show (he is hardly anti-amnesty.) The teacher made fun of the southern people in the film who were not of the elite, New England, mindset. I blew my stack and again contacted the teacher. She of course denied everything. Currently, I am contemplating my next move. The moral of the story? Find out what your kids are learning in public school, for sure! And for darn sure, don’t take it lying down. If you hear a whiff of liberal crap being taught to ignorant students – do something about it!
