What a sanctimonious blowhard you are - I hear Yosemite Sam in your nasty responses - rootinest, tootinest, shootinest!
Thankfully, your generation of dinosaurs will be gone soon and we'll once again be able to learn about people who are different from white, heterosexual Christians without fear of retribution - hopefully.
Maybe hearing it from real people that live in your own state will open your eyes to what's happening on the ground. Sadly, you'll probably approve.
"The increased politicization — and polarization — of education and our nation’s history on race that is sweeping the nation has put teachers like Storey into an increasingly uncomfortable situation.
Across the state, teachers have found themselves caught in a conservative battle to ban “divisive topics” from classrooms, which Republican lawmakers define as a various list of ideas regarding race — bills that came from national conservative uproar over so-called “critical race theory” in classrooms.
But after two years on the front lines of partisan pandemic politics, teachers say they are exhausted and now on constant alert about what they can and can’t say in their classrooms.
One minute, they worried about vitriol over masks in school; the next, they’re worried about what law could get passed down from the General Assembly that puts them in the hot seat.
“Laws like this could make teachers question everything,” Storey said, who is in her 10th year of teaching. “Even if it's factual, it makes them question it.”
“We want our teachers to fully feel free to teach — and to teach what is necessary for our students,” she said.
A Gwinnett County school board meeting was where Storey first heard about the concerns about “critical race theory” from white parents, which she calls “false hysteria.”
Storey is not only a teacher but helps curate social studies lessons in her county and for teachers across the country.
“It was very confusing to me as to why there was this uproar about critical race theory when nothing in our standard teaches critical race theory,” she said. “It's laughable. It's laughable and something that we are not really talking about because we're not teaching it.”
“Considering these bills, it is yet another manifestation — or artifact — that we don't trust teachers,” Brewer said. “We don't consider them to be professionals. We have very little regard for the work that they do … and that is damaging to the profession.”
It's a profession both Storey and her husband got into because, she said, it’s what they love to do.
“Not only am I a teacher, I am a mother first,” she said. “I think the thing that I want to emphasize is that we get into this job because we love children and we love to see them learn and we love to see them grow.”
“We do this because we love the profession and we love students,” she said. “And lawmakers make it hard for us to continue to love the thing that we went to school for.”

Maybe you'll listen to these Florida teachers who are being driven from the profession by little Hitler and his idiotic attempt to whitewash the classrooms in fighting a fake culture war
You can deny all you want but your side has become a basket of idiotic extremists in a desperate attempt to regain power by minority rule. It's literally mind control by the thought police and it's frightening.
