AUSTIN, Texas (PNN) - August 25, 2020 - A leftist teacher has complained that virtual classrooms as a result of coronavirus will allow parents to witness the “woke” indoctrination their child is receiving and that this is a bad thing.
If there was one silver lining to coronavirus, it’s that many more parents are now becoming familiar with what their children are actually being taught.
That worries Matthew R. Kay , educator and author of Not Light, But Fire: How to Lead Meaningful Race Conversations in the Classroom.
According to Kay, having parents overhear what politically correct, self-hating drivel their children are being subjected to means, God forbid, that it might be challenged.
“So this fall, virtual class discussions will have many potential spectators - parents, siblings, etc. - in the same room. We’ll never be quite sure who is overhearing the discourse. What does this do for our equity/inclusion work?” asks Kay.
Why shouldn't parents hear your discourse? Parents pay attention to what your children are being taught.
”How much have students depended on the (somewhat) secure barriers of our physical classrooms to encourage vulnerability? How many of us have installed some version of ‘what happens here stays here’ to help this?” asks Kay.
The damage actually being done is to our children being exposed to the kind of extremist, anti-Amerikan, white-hating Black Lives Matter racism espoused by Kay and his ilk.
“Teaching children to hate themselves for being Caucasian and to embrace harmful alternative sexualities becomes more challenging with someone who means the child well scowling in the background,” comments Dave Blount.
Maybe schooling never returning to normal thanks to COVID-19 will end up being a good thing.
