So clueless. “Politicization” is in the eyes of the beholder. That you don’t understand that isn’t surprising. An award-winning elementary book about a black student struggling to fit in at a white school is real-life and has been politicized right here on HROT. EVERYTHING is political to someone.
Good.Wisconsin school board votes to ban pride, BLM flags from classrooms
'Teachers and administration will not have political flags or religious messaging in their classroom,' the superintendent says
The policy also includes banning teachers from including their preferred pronouns in email signatures.

The Kettle Moraine School Board voted last week in favor of banning political messaging from classrooms, prohibiting LGBTQ pride and Black Lives Matter flags.www.foxnews.com
It’s only politicized when THEY say it’s politicized. These are not deep thinkers we’re talking about.

Climate change is causing the Southwest to aridify. (Left) Since the 1930s, increasing temperatures have caused the percentage of precipitation going to evapotranspiration (ET) to increase at the expense of precipitation going to Colorado River flow, resulting in an unprecedented and still ongoing megadrought (shading) starting in 1999 (8). (Right) Higher temperatures have already reduced Colorado River flow by 13%, and projected additional warming, assuming continued high emissions of greenhouse gases, will increase ET while reducing river flow even more through the 21st century. Data on Left are 20-y running means from ref. 5, and data on Right are calculated from Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) 8.5 multimodel Coupled Model Intercomparison Project–Phase 5 (CMIP5) ensemble temperature increases projected for the Upper Colorado River Basin combined with temperature sensitivity of −9.3%/°C estimated by ref. 5, assuming no change in precipitation.
I think you'd get people who protest the POW-MIA flag too. Country and state great, but I'd draw the line at anything that looks like a "cause," no matter how universally approved.
LOL...they are quite literally barring the discussion of topics they find "upsetting".
LOL..."Some people believe sodium metal reacts with chlorine gas to make sodium chloride due to the transfer of a valence electron and the creation of an ionic bond. Others say it's magic. I have to teach you both because you will be tested on all of it. Make up your own minds."
It has EVERYTHING to do with it. It is at the core of it.
Well, when one is responding to an asinine post it's pretty much the only avenue available.
Presenting the facts is how it's done. NOT pretending that every crackpot theory has merit. YOU make it political and then try to claim you're keeping the politics out of it. Can we teach stellar evolution or the Earth's geologic history or biological evolution without also including Genesis? It's an "alternative theory" ascribed to literally and faithfully by millions of people and you want all sides presented. So we also teach all the other creation stories?
Since you edited my post, I'll ask you directly...are you seriously saying that Genesis should be taught in a biology class alongside biological evolution?
Whoa! It's an "alternative theory". It is THE biggest "other side" in this country to the question of where we came from. Funny how when it gets uncomfortable for you, you bail on your beliefs. If you think teaching biological evolution isn't politically controversial after all the attempts to shoehorn Genesis into public schools through BS like Intelligent Design, you're either highly ignorant or pretending to be so.
Jim Crow and civil rights is ALL about politics. Folks like @Kinnick.At.Night would have you teach it without teaching why it happened. Like I said earlier, you're not interacting with deep thinkers in this thread.
Do you think if someone is addressed by a pronoun they don't prefer, they will melt?
It would appear that referring to others by their preferred pronouns makes YOU melt.
I went to Catholic school in the South 50+ years ago and it was always plainly taught that slavery was wrong, the Confederacy was wrong, and the Union rightfully prevailed.
