Well the OP is talking about taking this national so it really doesn't matter where she teaches.

You’re welcome, guy who played a prison guard with a non speaking role.
Speaking as a retired teacher, we all feel attacked right now. I can't remember where alaska's daughter teaches, but if it is a red state it's likely happening there as well. I know it is in Iowa.
I was actually the Clapper Loader, so, didn't even make the film. You overestimated me. Great job catching the reference. Wonderful movie.

The MAGA movement might be the most feelings-based movement in American history. There is literally no substance to any major grievance they throw out as a reason to be pissed off. About the only thing they have come close to getting right is our border security problem, which has been a problem for decades (I remember being in California in 1992 and there were many cautionary road signs with a woman figure holding the hand of a child figure while running, representing illegals crossing the border). So, not only is it nothing new, it is a regional problem that has minimal to no impact on the lives of people in Iowa or North Dakota. And yet, rural America living in the Midwest want to act like this problem is destroying their local communities.
I guess a lot of their fat asses will need a new scapegoat when Walmart has to raise their prices to $13.00 for a pound of bacon or some shit whenever Trump’s proposed policies pass and begin to take effect.
****ing idiots. All of them. But guns and Jesus and no chicks with dicks! ‘merica!
The hypocrisy of the argument lies in how religious indoctrination in private schools is totally okay.
Depends on the age of the kids. If she's a 1st grade teacher, it's pretty straightforward. If she's teaching high school juniors, it would seem strange to be teaching them how to read.
Why is that a strange comment when it's probably the biggest topic flooding the air waves and social media with regards to social media; "woke" indoctrination and the YUGE need to counter it with prayer and the Bible in school. Indoctrination, indoctrination, indoctrination. Are you living under a rock?
$hitty parenting and screens have 100% more impact on the classroom than any one "woke" teacher trying to indoctrinate kids.
Yup. They'd shit themselves.
She teaches 4th grade at a Title 1 school. However, when she taught at the middle school level (as recently as last year), she had some kiddos who struggled with reading.
The point she's trying to make is she is too busy trying to get the children in her class to understand the basics, she doesn't have time to indoctrinate them into whatever boogie man the far right (or far left for that matter) think she's doing.
As a Christian, I'd be pissed if the teacher was up there reading from the Bible. There is literally zero time for that and furthermore, I feel that is my responsibility as a parent (if that's the path I choose for my kids) and my Church's. It isn't the responsibility of the public education system.

I probably am living under a rock. I quit social media altogether (other than this) due to the fact that there are so few middle of the road, common sense type people out there. I do my best not to take much of what the far right or left say because it is such a small % of the population.
I honestly have heard very little on this topic where I live. No offense was intended toward your daughter, I was just curious if she had a direct personal attack on her specific district by a parent or group. I was going to ask you a few more questions if that was the case.
That actually makes perfect sense since they don’t have any other history books that would have the constitution.
Thank god I don’t teach in a redneck state like Oklahoma. I don’t think I could do it.
I’m sure that idiot is also nostalgic for the days of segregation and Jim Crow.
Seems like it.
I think he’s yet another ambitious young Republican who sees ignorant evangelicals as the path to greater success.
I applaud you for being able to do that (not have social media). I've done pretty well by only have FB and this forum, but being on here clearly exposes me to pretty much all of it; especially X. Unfortunately, that small percentage has the loudest voice.
It's probably "louder" due to that small percentage you mentioned above and it gets used as the boogie man so we can sadly focus on all the wrong things, books, bathrooms, etc.
