Shocking Leftist Ideas Taught by Public School Teachers
The Influence of Leftist Teachers on Students
The reason students on college campuses have lunged toward the proverbial leftist cliff is readily found in America’s K-12 public school classrooms, where teachers are politically grooming students, usually with the consent of school and district administrators.
Earlier this year, a middle school social studies teacher in Seattle Public Schools, Ann Christianson, encouraged her students to write hate messages to Moms for Liberty. In an envelope with the return address listed as Seattle Public Schools headquarters, Christianson mailed her students’ letters with a message of her own: “Dear Moms for Liberty,” she wrote, “Please read the enclosed cards from concerned middle school students in Seattle.”
These young children’s messages included, “Gay is slay. Stop being a rat,” and “LGBTQ+ rights are human rights.”
A representative from Seattle Public Schools tried to abdicate the district’s responsibility by stating that the Moms for Liberty letters were part of “an independent activity and not part of the school curriculum.” The representative did not indicate whether or not the teacher had been disciplined for her inappropriate assignment.
Aside from the social-emotional lessons and critical race theory embedded in standard public school curricula and the transgender flags and safe-space signs adorning the hallways and classrooms in schools across the country, teachers like Christianson are brainwashing America’s children without any form of recourse from public school administrators.
Teachers Get Political
Maintaining close communication with our children about what they are learning in their classrooms has never been more important.
Public schools in Fairfax County, Virginia, located just outside our nation’s capital, have an oversupply of rogue teachers engaging in their own polemic monologues and assigning one-sided political projects to even the youngest students. These rogue teachers intentionally abuse their profession and taxpayer dollars to politically manipulate America’s children. Doing so is not only unprofessional but immoral.
Most recently, a seventh-grade science teacher in Fairfax County’s public schools tried to manipulate her students about the issue of wolf restoration in Yellowstone National Park. She spent two weeks providing the 12-year-old students all of the arguments in favor of restoring wolves. The teacher presented one side of a controversial issue to her students and expected them to adopt her perspective. In fact, she was so righteous about her cause that in an Oct. 18 email to parents discussing the unit, she admitted that in their assigned letters to Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., the district’s congressional representative, students must “[encourage him] to continue support of the restoration.”
That is a clear example of political indoctrination. The principal’s initial response was dismissive and in defense of the teacher. She wrote, “[The teacher] did share with me that she verbally told students that if they wanted to write their letter in support of the ranchers, they could do that.”
With more parental correspondence and persuasion, the principal eventually conceded that there was something amiss. In an email dated Nov. 2, she wrote, “While the teacher was passionate about the topic and was trying to make a connection to real-world application for students, the [assignment] was not in alignment with our controversial issues policy.”
Anti-White Racism and Gender Ideology
Like in many liberal districts across the nation, individual teachers’ snide leftist comments and polemic monologues are systemic in Fairfax County’s public schools.
Last month, for example, a ninth-grade English teacher, who is white, referred to one of her students condescendingly as “a basic white boy” in front of the entire class. She subsequently referred to Shakespeare’s Romeo as
What impact can the influence of leftist teachers have on students outside of the classroom?
Dollars to push their own political agendas onto impressionable young minds.
One example of this is a fifth-grade teacher at Pine Spring Elementary School in Fairfax County who assigned her students a project to create anti-Trump campaign ads. The students were tasked with researching negative attributes about the former president and creating campaign materials to convince voters not to support him. This blatant act of political indoctrination not only violates the principles of impartiality but also undermines the critical thinking skills that students should be developing in school.
It is important to note that not all teachers are guilty of such egregious behavior. Many educators strive to provide unbiased information and encourage students to think critically about all sides of an issue. However, the actions of a few can have a significant impact on the beliefs and perspectives of impressionable young students.
The Consequences
The influence of leftist teachers on students extends beyond the classroom. It can shape their political beliefs, distort their understanding of history, and hinder their ability to think independently. By promoting a one-sided narrative and suppressing alternative viewpoints, these teachers limit the intellectual growth of their students and hinder the development of a diverse and inclusive society.
Furthermore, the lack of accountability for teachers who engage in such political grooming is concerning. When educators are allowed to push their personal agendas without consequence, it creates an environment in which free thought and open dialogue are discouraged. This not only stifles intellectual growth but also undermines the principles of democracy and free speech.
As parents, it is our responsibility to be vigilant and engaged in our children’s education. We must closely monitor the curricula, assignments, and activities in our schools to ensure that our children are receiving a well-rounded education that encourages critical thinking and fosters a spirit of intellectual curiosity.
Conclusion
The influence of leftist teachers on students is a real and concerning issue. It not only threatens the impartiality and integrity of our education system but also molds the beliefs and perspectives of our future leaders. As a society, we must advocate for accountability and transparency in our schools to prevent political indoctrination and ensure that our children are receiving a well-rounded education that prepares them to think critically and engage in civil discourse.
By holding teachers and school administrators accountable for their actions and advocating for curricula that promote unbiased information and open dialogue, we can create an educational environment that fosters intellectual growth and empowers students to become informed and engaged citizens.
