The hard left just refuses to get the message from voters that Americans are not happy with what’s going on in schools. Yes, the majority of teachers and administrators are not the uber-crazy types, like we see all the time from Libs of Tiktok

but, there are plenty of softly barking moonbats, and enough, including school boards, who want to hide what is being done and taught to the kids. Back in my day, late 70’s into 80’s, parents were involved. They knew what was being taught. They didn’t worry about their kids being taught crazy stuff in secret. Apparently, our parents being involved is authoritarian, per Sara Jones at NY Mag
To empower parents, Florida Republicans would put children in danger. If passed, their Parental Rights in Education legislation, known more commonly as the “don’t say gay” bills, would prevent public-school districts from “encouraging classroom discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity,” CBS News reports. A proposed amendment would have required educators to report a child’s disclosure about their gender identity or sexual orientation to parents within six weeks.
Republicans haven’t been shy about their rationale. The text of the bills says they allegedly “reinforce the fundamental right of parents to make decisions regarding the upbringing and control of their children.” Last year, Senator Josh Hawley introduced a federal Parents’ Bill of Rights, which would include the right to review curricula and to visit children during school hours. In Texas, Governor Greg Abbott announced his own Parental Bill of Rights last month. “Parents will be restored to their rightful place as the preeminent decision-maker for their children,” he said at a campaign event held, fittingly, at a charter school. On Wednesday, Abbott told Texas state agencies to investigate reports of gender-affirming care for transgender children.
Teaching that stuff is not the job of schools. Not K-12. Moonbats are not happy that parents will be legally able to be involved, and that schools have to actually teach subjects, not Woke crap
Parents don’t lack rights in the U.S. They already enjoy the wide freedom to educate their children as they wish, including at home or in private schools. They can raise their children to be Christians or witches or both; the state does not interfere. Liberals are generally satisfied with this state of affairs: There is no appetite to prohibit parents from raising their children in even the most hate-filled churches. Yet the right behaves as if parental rights were under sustained and serious attack, as if the parent has been dislodged from a high place and, as Abbott said, should be restored. The GOP’s position on parental rights isn’t entirely coherent. Any attempt to ban gender-confirming therapy for transgender children theoretically infringes on the rights of the parent, but this hasn’t dissuaded the party from its attacks on trans rights. In Texas, Attorney General Ken Paxton had previously issued an opinion defining gender-affirming care as ‘child abuse.’ Trans children and their families must now fear the long arm of the state, which will reach into their most private and personal affairs
Got that? You parents can be involved unless you let your kids go to public schools. Many cannot afford to home-school or send to a private school, and the government requires that children go to school. In Liberal World, government is in charge of The People. We’re here to serve government, and, the government will do as it wants, and you peons will have no input. The old notion of “government for the people, by the people”, has been replaced with a Soviet style one.
This goes on for a few paragraphs more, and, in Liberal World, it is authoritarian for parents to have rights, and for kids to not be indoctrinated, groomed, and be taught crazy things. But, hey, Democrats should continue pushing this stuff: it’ll just help them lose more and more elections.
A Huntsville, Alabama, solar panel factory will close after President Joe Biden exempted foreign-made bifacial solar panels from United States tariffs earlier this month.
When it comes to both foreign policy and his liberal energy agenda, President Joe Biden has embarrassed our nation. I can sum up President Biden’s incompetence in these areas with one simple story: a tale of two pipelines.
A landmark United Nations report has concluded that the risk of devastating wildfires around the world will surge in coming decades as climate change further intensifies what the report described as a “global wildfire crisis.”
The Pentagon has approved the deployment of 700 unarmed National Guard troops to the nation’s capital as it prepares for trucker convoys that are planning protests against pandemic restrictions beginning next week.
A new report on the impacts of climate change will likely be the most worrying assessment yet of how rising temperatures affect every living thing.
During the truck convoy protests, we have watched banners demanding “freedom” waving over big rigs parked in front of Parliament. But what does this vaunted “freedom” mean?
Here’s the thing: Small changes alone won’t save our planet. To keep the Earth from warming above the
