In the wake of a rise in teacher firings (for celebrating a public execution), the Massachusetts Teachers Association is demanding that districts and colleges defend their educators. “The ongoing campaign by extreme-right conservatives to discredit and defund public education has grotesquely exploited the shooting death of Charlie Kirk to launch attacks against people commenting on … Read more

July 20, 2023July 19, 2023 Ann Marie Banfield

Public Schools and Teachers Are Inherently Political, so Let’s Treat Them Accordingly

June 23, 2023 Ian Underwood

Read this. Then ask yourself: If 70 or 75 percent of parents want (or don’t want) their children to be treated a certain way, how is it that teachers and administrators are able to ignore them? It’s because we pretend that these positions are not political when in fact, they are. So they are protected … Read more

Teachers Need Parents to Speak UP: What Teachers are Afraid to Say Out Loud

August 21, 2022 Ann Marie Banfield

Teachers in SAU21 will be forced to sit through a political training session in September. Seacoast Outright will be conducting the training, which everyone is being told, is not being done by a political organization. It’s almost comical at this point that anyone believes that Seacoast Outright is not a political organization.

SURPRISE: Teachers and Administrators in NH are Not Happy About What’s Going on In Public Schools

May 23, 2022 Ann Marie Banfield

There is this assumption that all teachers and administrators approve of some of the shenanigans happening in their public schools. Some might be surprised that this isn’t the case. Teachers are parents too. They see what is happening where they work and where their children attend school, and many do not like it.

Teacher: ” Whose Your Mommy?” – I’m Your Mommy Now!

March 30, 2022 Skip

I keep seeing things like this all the time popping up in reports from schools in which teachers are demonstrably telling students that their parents hate them – so we will be your parents.

And You Think That Govt School Are Being Straight with Parents? Not If They Are Being Trained Not To.

February 20, 2022 Skip

We have seen stories from all over the country where teachers as caretakers and educators of children assume “possession” of them as if they were their parents. And nothing says “possession” like telling the kiddos to lie to their real parents.

PTO Caves To Gender Warrior – The Father Daughter Dance is Dead

February 12, 2022 Steve MacDonald

This week, we learned that a one-woman genderizer managed to undermine local tradition. She protested the annual Father-Daughter and Mother-Son dances as not inclusive enough. She insisted on a blended affair, to be fair. The sponsor put them on hold pending a discussion and the discussion is over.

In Other Words, Lie to Parents!

January 31, 2022 Skip

The Gilford School Board’s Policy JBAB has a “Privacy” section that assigns yet ANOTHER “Right” to a minor child that tells the Staff to NOT tell Parents about the Transgender Status of that child while on school grounds.
