Life with Liz – School Board Showdown: The I’m Not Taking it Anymore Edition
Liz and I talked later on – the segment worked but…Normally, a host asks a question or throws out an idea or scenario and looks for a short, pithy response. After all, it’s THEIR show, not mine or any other guest or caller.

At Odds with Almost Every Public School Union Teacher in the US – CRT Stack of Stuff Part 11
Here is yet another example of a Teacher having a “mini meltdown” because she can’t indoctrinate “HER” kids anymore. That’s for starters. It goes downhill from there. Remember, reformatting at play and emphasis (generally) is mine:
Thank You for Ruining My Kids’ Education. Now You Will Answer for It.
Good evening, As I discuss with my son his socialist, feckless, “everyone gets a trophy” grading system that YOU ignored the petition of over 300 students and parents to change; and as I now KNOW that many of you signed into effect a transgender policy whereby teachers can call MY kids doorknobs, he, she, they, it, etc. without ANY parental knowledge;
An Entire School Board Resigns After Getting Caught Disparaging Parents in an Online Meeting

“We Hold These Truths: Our Answer To The Mob”

Sunlight is the best disinfectant. Transparency about the workings of an organization prevents corruption. Speaking of corruption, inasmuch as the portion of your property tax bill going to the public schools is the single largest portion of that bill, did you ever wonder what they are doing with all your money? While their mission is … Read more
