Now, some California parents are frustrated with the schools.
Why is there this tension between parents and the school board?
Well, first of all, the experts don't like commenters like parents.
The experts think that they really have the answers that normal people don't have.
I'll give you an example.
Just a few weeks ago, there was a Zoom conference of elementary school teachers.
It was for gender inclusion classrooms.
Now, this is gender inclusion for elementary school kids.
So it's basically sex education.
So this Kiernan Slattery, who's a fifth grade teacher in Massachusetts, says, I ignore the caregivers, quote, end quote.
He says, I'm a white, queer, transsexual man.
Quote, end quote.
These are teachers, tenured teachers.
They were on a conference call on Zoom.
It's fully recorded.
It was April 26th.
This year you can look it up.
And they're basically saying the parents are not really relevant.
We're going to teach these children to like gay and trans people.
We're going to tell them about the bodily functions of third graders.
We're going to teach them to be inclusive.
We're going to teach them to be open-minded and not to listen to their parents.
They're doing this because they can.
The schools have been infiltrated deeply by people that aren't even very good teachers, but they're propagandists.
And then my favorite, the newest one, just days ago, Scottsdale parents in Arizona sued the school district Because the school district was spying on the parents.
They had dossiers, electronic dossiers on the parents who went to the school board meetings.
And the name of that school board president is Jan Greenberg.
And he was forced to resign when it became clear that they were monitoring, like the FBI, parents who objected to that.
So it's really a war.
It's really serious.
Many school districts hate the people they are serving because they're there because some union pushed them into power or they felt that they had an entitlement.
Not all school districts are bad.
