Yeah, and it pisses me off that she derailed the thread, ignoring what was VERY important. We have enough problems without losing focus.
Wait one moment Dear, had Oaks not mentioned realestate deals and stuck to the teachers indoctrination of the kids, things may have stayed on track.
I come from a family of school teachers and have a bit of an understanding of what they face each year. One does not get the job of teaching and have any say in the subject matter they are to teach.
Lately a family member taught in a Christian School for perhaps 10 years. In the beginning all was well yet she noticed each year the teachings becoming more and more liberal. When she questioned the new subjects the supervisors began to get antsy calling her old fashioned and that kids should be taught to understand the changing times.
Her turning point was when a big contributor to the school managed to get a gay family member hired to teach. She went into a hissie-fit when the teachers live in boyfriend began to come around to the boys basketball games and visit with the players in the locker room.
The more she complained the more nasty the administers became to her. Money, it was the Money that mattered from the teachers family to help support the school, not the kids.
Good teachers do not have an easy life, some get sick to their stomachs at the things they are told to teach, they have no say and cannot complain.
This is America, the woman that voted for Obama twice. So, she has the right to vote for Mickey Mouse if she wishes. Perhaps years of teaching what she was told to teach changed her perception of life. Could be she after years was becoming indoctrinated herself. ----Like the ad on TV, "if it is on the internet it must be true".
Please don't blame the teachers for what they teach, put the blame on whoever tells them what to teach.
Everyone at one time or another has had a job that something slightly unethical or shady is requested be done. What to do, do as told or get fired. Heck of a decision here, to stay or not to stay, food needs to be put on the table, bills to pay, always decisions, decisions.
If one is single and under 30, one can go out in a moral huff, if one is over 30 with dependents then one has to protect the family first and make a decision that will effect others lives, not easy to decide to dance with the Devil for the sake of loved ones and keep ones self respect.
