Classrooms are politicized

For three decades teachers have conned and coddled school boards, parents and voters into providing exactly what they are now whining about. The teachers got what they wanted, both for themselves and their students, but they are still complaining, and their students are lagging further and further behind the rest of the Western World.

Education is too important to be left to teachers.

I must agree with Ken Grow's letter that "any intelligent adult could teach children at the elementary school level, with or without a degree or training." Of course, the emphasis would change. Children would not be dealt a guilt trip about human-caused greenhouse gas and global warming. Even if true, which it's not, surely we don't want 10-year-olds to believe that their personal actions resulted in the death of cute little penguins or in the drowning of cuddly polar bears.

Once the political indoctrination is removed from the classroom, there'll be more than enough time to teach reading, writing and arithmetic. What indoctrination? Anti-Christian, anti-Western Civilization, pro-homosexual and other variants, anti-family, pro-female but anti-feminine, anti-male, anti-American history and pro-world government biases and slants to the fullest extent short of provoking objections from the children and the parents. How come the pictures in the books show mommies and daddies of the same height and doing the same jobs? Reality or indoctrination?
