Welcome to Bizarro World, otherwise known as NBC “Think”. In an essay NBC published last night from Christina Wyman, parents want to have children “indoctrinated” while schools want to free their minds. Wyman decries parental resistance to progressive pedagogy, arguing that parental involvement in education is as dangerous as it would be to have parents in the operating room. No, I am not kidding:
While the political climate and national involvement in school districts give the phenomenon a broader platform

The bimbo and her comrades at the Nasty Broadcasting Company obviously weren't paying attention to the can of whoop-ass Virginia parents just opened up on Terry McAwful for advocating the same viewpoint.

Biden isn’t saying this. Pelosi isn’t saying it. But their running dogs are sure laying the groundwork. This sort of thing doesn’t get published in a vacuum.

Schools of Education are for students not bright enough or ambitious enough to enroll in a School of Engineering, Business Administration, or Arts and Sciences.

Another typical crock from NBC. While no doubt there are many wonderful teachers, most practitioners of this so-called “science “ came from the bottom third of their graduating class.

Educate your children at home if your public schools are not up to snuff.

NBC = Propaganda. Turn off the MSM, and remove your children from the public indoctrination centers. It is the only way.

NBC's extremist opinions are why I haven't tuned in to their channel in several decades.

Is she equating the least rigorous college course (education) with one of the most rigorous (medicine)? Oh wait, I think gender studies may now be the least rigorous..sorry. In any case. she’s quite nuts.

I teach. Parent's involvement in a child's education is way more effective than anything I can do to motivate them to learn.

I've taught at the college level for over 40 years. I sometimes taught a mathematics course for elementary education majors. The top third of that class was very bright and a few were brilliant, but many of those told me they wouldn't go into teaching because they already had better jobs. They were only there to obtain a college degree “in something” and chose elementary ed. The bottom third were mostly functionally illiterate; they could not write a sentence; they all hoped to become teachers, should they graduate. I've seen silly fads propagated by Ed profs, including "whole word reading" and "initial teaching alphabet." The first didn't work. The second conferred imunity to learning spelling.

The headline pretty much sums up the mindset of almost everyone in education. It's why school systems are set up like little dictatorships. It's why parents don't know what's really going on inside schools. The Covid crap did exactly what I told my wife, who is a teacher, would happen once parents could see and hear what their kids were being taught. Covid, and the online classes, opened the eyes of millions of parents. The education establishment is fighting back against parents using the same old tactics implying parents don't know anything about education and teaching because they don't have degrees in education. The educators running the school systems, are circling the wagons to protect their dictatorships and power to run things they way they want without any parental input. Hence the e-mail sent to Biteme to sic the DOJ on parents and label them terrorists. However, in defense of the educators, getting parents to contact their kids teachers to see how little Mary or Johnny is doing in school or attending PTA meetings, is like pulling teeth. My wife has a numbers of times during the year when parent/teacher conferences are scheduled, and if she gets 25% of the kids parents to show up or contact her, she considers that a good turnout.

Really, NBC? You're in no position to be making that determination. Parents have a sacred obligation to have their kids educated, and a sacred responsibility to oversee the process, themselves (or even to DO that, themselves, if they are up to it).
To abrogate that duty to the government ought to be considered child abuse (or at least negligent parenting).

I'm old enough to remember Global Cooling and teachers complaining that they wanted MORE parental involvement. Sigh!

Yeah, because we should trust our kids' future with all the B level, mediocre intelligence students who got degrees in education because they were too dumb to major in engineering, physics, or medicine.

Christina Wyman claims, 'parents want to have children “indoctrinated” while schools want to free their minds.'
This is the exact opposite of what is going on. It is Progressives that want want indoctrinate (AKA, brainwash) children with progressive propaganda. This is not freeing their minds, it is programming them with hateful lies. It is no wonder that parents are upset about this. It is the Progressives who are dangerous to children.

I am a grand parent. I have every right to express my opinion of what my grand children are taught or not taught. Just try to shut me up.

I should hope to shout that my IQ is higher than most and I am quite capable of thinking for myself. If I feel I am the best choice to teach my kids I will (and I did for a year). Right now we as a family are debating whether I should teach my 5 y/o granddaughter as both parents work full-time and I don't. She is doing ok in public school at the moment, but I suspect with all the garbage happening that will change. Hubby learned by doing and he is capable of teaching a lot of things that schools no longer teach. Parents are NOT idiots - mainstream media and teacher's unions are.

As a property owner, I am the one who is paying for all this "public education." Taxpayers don't have a choice, since the "authorities" will come with armed troopers to take my property away otherwise. For some reason our politicians have passed laws that force citizens without children to pay for public schools and all kinds of other social programs that have no benefit at all to our interests. We are not only forced to pay for it, now they tell us that we have no say in how they are run... because they are "operating" on our children and we are not qualified. The term "arrogance" comes from the Latin adrogare, meaning to feel that one has a right to demand certain attitudes and behaviors from other people. That defines the left.
