Lately there has been so much commentary and controversy regarding schools and what they teach. It should be obvious to anyone that the role of schools is to teach children to be able to support themselves as grown adults. I don’t see how directing them in politics, liberal OR conservative ideology, sexual preferences, or even social justice has any bearing on them supporting themselves. All the extra opinions and political persuasion is the work of tyrannical school boards that have way too much power. Any parent that votes for school board members who have intentions of influencing children’s opinions regarding politics or social topics are guilty of tyranny themselves because they aim to control the thoughts, opinions and ideals of their neighbors’ children. They should be called out for their opinions by all parents- their autocratic tendencies are not innocent ‘nor are they “well-meaning” they reveal a need to control other people- a habit that contrasts significantly with the ideals of a free and just society.
In my humble opinion.
