Teachers unions are ridiculous. I’ve never been a fan of the ability to get tenure in that you’re basically immune to being fired from your job, at least not without the school district suffering from some severe repercussions.
Maybe Elon Musk needs to buy out all of the teacher’s unions as the amount that they’re worth and turn around and sell them for what they think that they’re worth. He’d be a trillionaire already!
But the New Jersey Teacher’s Union has been taking things to such an extreme level that it only serves to demonstrate why I’m so against public schools.
The NJ Teacher’s Union is upset because parents attend school board meetings and voice their complaints about the trash that the libraries at their children’s schools are stocked with. Keeping groomers out of their daughter’s bloomers should be the goal of any decent parent, particularly if they want them to be normal human beings in life.
What’s more important, knowing how to calculate everything in a household budget, or how many distinct pronoun combinations there are? Well, if you ask the NJ Teacher’s Union, they’ll say the latter, and they want to silence parents from being able to say otherwise.
At this point, the ad shows black-and-white photos of parents protesting at school board meetings, with two news headlines: an article from NJ.com entitled “Some NJ schools under siege,” about parents attempting to remove books with explicit sexual and LGBTQ content from school curricula; and another from Patch.com entitled “Don’t Say Gay’ Bill Introduced By NJ State Senator,” about a parents’ rights bill introduced in the state legislature in May. “People who only want to fight to score political points should take that somewhere else,” the ad concludes.
According to The Daily Wire,
Republican State Senator Ed Durr, who authored the Parents’ Rights bill mentioned in the ad, blasted the NJEA as “out of touch” to the concerns of parents about sexual content in schools.
“Despite what the NJEA says, parents are not extremists for expressing concerns about curriculum mandates or wanting to have a voice in their children’s education,” Durr said in a statement Tuesday. “It’s another example of the NJEA being out of touch with parents and totally tone deaf to their concerns that sensitive topics such as sex education and gender identity are not appropriate for young kids. Frankly, the NJEA is taking an extreme position by attacking parents instead of listening to them.”
The school system does not exist for the benefit of the teachers. They exist to benefit the kids, or at least, that’s what they’re supposed to do. Teaching them liberal propaganda so that Democrats can win future elections instead of teaching them how to function as human beings is just morally wrong.
