A high-ranking member of one of the largest teachers’ unions in California published a satirical letter Monday mocking parental calls for curriculum transparency, demanding a detailed report of the content and influences children are being exposed to at home.

Owen Jackman, a delegate to the California Teachers’ Union state council and a teacher in Sacramento City Unified School District, wrote a sarcastic Facebook post deriding parent concerns about progressive pedagogy, suggesting that parental rights are equal or subordinate to teachers’ rights in education.

Addressing parents who advocate for their kids at school board meetings as “storm troopers,” Jackman jibed that “I have a reason to be concerned about the appropriateness of what your child is learning outside of school.”

Parent-child relationships are the parents' business. Curricula, classroom doings, and school boards'/districts' doing are taxpayers' business, including students' parents. This character said publicly what many teachers and educrats think privately. He also demonstrated that many school board members are simply teachers unions' sock puppets.

Apparently Jackman feels he's on solid ground with his unmitigated arrogance.

Question is, is Jackman going to be canceled?

No, I didn't think so either. Teacher's unions have become entirely too powerful.
