Yes, Things Are Really As Bad As You've Heard

A Leftist Schoolteacher Struggles To Say Aloud the Things He Regularly Witnesses That Are So Outlandish They Sound Made Up By Right-Wing Provocateurs

So that's why I’m writing about these issues – not to dunk on the woke or trigger the libs or “launder my white anxiety” (as a friend recently suggested on social media). I’m writing about these issues because I want to grab anyone who might listen and tell them yes, things really are as bad as you've heard, even if the people you heard it from can be absolutely nuts. These stories sound crazy because they are crazy. It’s not my fault a bunch of cynical hacks noticed that first while all my supposed allies were training themselves to look the other way.

I would be one of the hacks to this guy, but he and I agree that the schools are developing a problem.

Including here in areas that are still considered fairly conservative Indiana.

You can see that dynamic described by the first substack writer right here on the Water Cooler. I see it all the time in my village and school district, too.

That Hamilton Southeastern policy is inane. I saw this interview about it:

If you ask me Hailee Steinfeld went the wrong direction but this scene is gold.

Hopefully in November I will be joining with other voters to throw the idiots who have come up with policies like that out on their asses.

I'm kind of surprised you still have you kids in public schools. With a family of 5, unless you make over about $185k/yr...... you qualify for all your kids to go to a private school and the state pays 90%.

I have a child with special needs and the private schools are not great at that (if they will even take them on.)

I have a number of friends who teach in schools and they are frustrated by the crazy parents who come to them yelling "critical race theory" every time a history class discusses slavery. A high school classmate has been for a long time a middle school principal in southern Indiana. She is retiring early, fed up with the constant wild accusations and parents wanting to pick textbooks or wanting Johnny to "learn what Jesus says". The cult is up in arms and it's 99.9% imagined.

You get shown time and again it is not imagined. Maybe, hear me out, just maybe this stuff is happening in some places and the small circle of people you know in Southern Indiana aren't reflective of places like Indianapolis, Chicago, etc.

CRT is not teaching about slavery. Teaching about slavery is a moral and historical imperative.

But true CRT is being taught by unprepared teachers and activists. You’ve been shown proof of this many times.

My wife works in a public school district special Ed department and while she thinks public schooling by and large stinks at scale, she’s quite positive special ed is the exception.

It for damn sure ain't happening at North Vernon Middle School, and lots of parents think it is if the kids had to read Uncle Tom's Cabin.

Shooter is the type of guy who thinks it's not the parents business to be involved. It's why my kid goes to private school. Clowns like him want your kid no questions asked period. He lives in a bubble and thinks it's all great. Probably hates my for sending my kid to private school.

Wait I thought you lived in florida and voted desantis. Lol you are the biggest liar on this site. My biggest problem with you is you are a liar. At least bowlnania admits who he is. You simply lie but I dont know why. You never voted desantis why do you lie? It's just odd.

Indiana from birth in the 60s to college graduation in the 80s, 4 years out East in Grad schools, 4.5 years back at IU for a PhD, Cincinnati for 5 years, Boston area for 9 years, then Florida for 16 years.

Not that it's much of your business.

But people move, for schools, jobs, opportunities. By my count I lived in Indiana for about 27 years, more than in any other state.

He doesnt but at least he didnt mention TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP in a post.

We are not proud of that ! But TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP. When some one goes to school that long it is proof they have no skills to actually do anything.............You are proof positive. if you actually had any intelligence or knew anything you would have actually been doing something. How many yrs did you spend in school and are still about as smart as a GD fencepost? Dont even try. If you had to go to school for that many GD years to learn anything you werent very intelligent to start with

What?

What?

He was regaling us with how many yrs he has spent in school my basic reply was how GD many years do you need to spend going to school unless you are pretty dumb to start with? Also that Indiana isnt too proud of him as a state.

Not sure how you arrived at that conclusion nor am I sure how that conclusion provides you with a win?

It happens, like I said, in a nonzero percentage of schools. I would say about 0.1%.

Well he has 1 teacher friend from high school who teaches in Southern Indiana and obviously that person's experience is more the norm than the ample evidence that he continues to ignore.

I have teacher friends too. We have teachers in our district who tell us what they are doing when our kids have e-learning days so they can get teacher development. I have National organizations concerned with student rights reaching out to my school board about public changes to the very public student handbook to include microaggressions. I have the very public response from the school board basically saying, "Sue me"...and they will get sued the moment they try and enforce that microaggression bull shit. But Shooter knows a teacher so all these things are only happening in .1% of the country like super liberal Hamilton County, Indiana. We're the Portland of the Midwest.

 

[outside shooter]

Mentioning " microaggression" is teaching CRT???. Hmmm...
