Far-Right Candidates Are Trying To Take Over Public Schools Across The Country

You can't complain about blue states when MAGA states are the bottom tier states. New Jersey runs rings around them.

Of course you can. There are very few places in the US where the government school system produces excellent results, and attempting to deflect criticism with waddaboudism doesn't fly.

Disagree. We just gave our teachers a 7 percent salary raise.

Let us know when results dramatically improve.

In today's environment it is hard to hire non indoctrinated teachers coming out of college they have been trained in most cases by Marxist professors to hate America and everything it stands for

In many blue cities, they got rid of the literacy test to teach. It was racist.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Now tell me about Mississippi.

What do you need to know?

I can complain about Chicago. The taxes to support the schools are ridiculous and the "graduates" can't read.

They're already very good. You'd like people to do the job for free perhaps. You could quit your job and help fix the problem.

And there you go, trying to make it about me. What is it with people doing that?

 

[initforme]

Well if you don't like the results then help fix it. Show the nation how to teach.

I'm not an engineer, but I can criticize the engineers that design a faulty bridge which collapses. I'm not a doctor, but I can criticize the doctors who kill patients by prescribing the wrong treatments. I'm not a teacher but can criticize the educational system that produces poor results. We spend more per student than most countries and they out-perform us.

Teacher pay in america is low. But some believe good candidates should sacrifice for the good of the nation.

Just so.

 

[Unkotare]

They are trained to hate anything conservative!

I was never trained in that.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Just so.

You have to admit CPS teachers are doing a shit job when so many of the graduates are barely literate.

 

[Frankenstein]

I was never trained in that.

You simply resisted

If you want the best and brightest going to be teachers you had better find a way to increase wages. You get what you pay for.

Consequential school board races in North Carolina, Maryland and other states could change the education system as we know it.​

Over the last few years, elections for public education officials have gone from overlooked and low-profile to heated and politicized affairs, a shift that’s due in large part to conservatives increasingly eyeing schools as places where they can wield significant influence and enact a specific agenda.

Moms for Liberty, a far-right group that popped up in Florida during the COVID pandemic and has since campaigned nationwide for a variety of conservative causes, is a significant driver of this shift. The so-called “parental rights” organization has thrown its support behind school board candidates across the country who have gone on to ban books, pass policies that hurt LGBTQ+ kids, and limit what teachers can do and say in their classrooms.

In 2022, more than half of the candidates endorsed by Moms for Liberty won their races, with those in Florida seeing particular success. But the following year, the group’s high-profile attempts in Pennsylvania were largely a dud.

This year, the group said it has identified 77 candidates for endorsements but has not publicly released the list.

“We continue to strive to have all voters across the country engage in their local school board elections and get to know the candidates because we know that change happens at the local level,” Moms for Liberty co-founders Tiffany Justice and Tina Descovich said in an emailed statement to HuffPost. “We have seen an incredible win rate the past two years that shows the power of our grassroots organization and we are excited to see that same kind of win rate this year.”

But even as the group keeps a lower public profile than it has during previous elections, its impact is clear. Across the country, far-right extremists are looking to get on school boards and reshape public schooling.
The blueprint for a right-wing, Moms for Liberty-style candidate has been made, and conservatives are following it. These candidates typically rail against “critical race theory,” a college-level academic framework for understanding structural racism that has been co-opted by conservatives to mean talking about race at all and making white people feel uncomfortable. They falsely claim books about gender or sexual identity are inherently pornographic. They may smear teachers as groomers, and make sure transgender children are targeted and ostracized at school.

Parental rights and fighting to keep trans kids from playing sports are now Republican talking points at all levels of government.

“The work of Moms for Liberty hasn’t been as visible. But the rhetoric they use and their candidates are very much visible,” Tamika Walker Kelly, the president of the North Carolina Association of Educators, told HuffPost.

In blue, red, and purple states alike, this election is shaping up to have dozens of hotly contested school board races that feature right-wing candidates going up against their more liberal counterparts and hoping to shape the next generation of public school students.

Scary stuff. They've been operating mostly under the radar - and they are dangerous! What do you think?

Make Dodge Ball great again!

Look, at states like Oregon and California where the teachers are literally preying upon the children for sexual gratification.

Parents have had enough. Instances of sexual perversion among prepubescent and early pubescent children has skyrocketed due to the liberal social agenda.

There is plenty of extras the schools are not teaching that the kids need instead of sexual perversions.....like how to have initiative, how to be a self-starter, a self learner, and how to filter bias in media. How to vet resource materials, why we need police, why we need military people.....

Instead we get crap like "Tommy has two mommies and likes to wear dresses"

Chicago teachers are very highly paid. Based on results, highly overpaid.

No one becomes a teacher to get rich. Anyone going in with that expectation will just be frustrated. You become a teacher because you want to help people.

All of that is taught.
