Secret audio reveals Maine teacher ranting about politics, mocking Trump-supporting parents
Maine Wire ^ | 10-16-2022 | Steve Robinson

Shocking audio obtained by The Maine Wire reveals a Maine public school teacher subjecting a student to a racially charged political rant and telling the middle schooler his conservative parents only support former President Donald Trump because they are uneducated.

The audio, which was recorded in April, features the voice of Ann Cook, a resource room instructor for Gray-New Gloucester Middle School. It was recorded in secret by a middle school student who was concerned with some of the conversations he had had with Cook, including conversations about her and other students’ sexuality.

In the audio, the teacher tells the student that his Trump-supporting parents are uneducated victims of propaganda before proceeding to make several questionable or outright false claims about Trump, President Joe Biden, and Vice President Kamala Harris.

“Your father and stepfather are just caught up in the propaganda,” Cook tells the middle schooler. “They believe the lies. And that’s the whole point of lying is that people believe it just ‘cause you say it.”

Cook says that when she sees someone wearing a Trump MAGA hat, she thinks to herself, “that’s somebody who needs to be educated.”

Teachers just aren’t teachers anymore. They all are nothing but political hacks for the DNC recruiting school kids to be RAT “voters”.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

That’s a hoot, a “certified” teacher calling anyone uneducated. Those “Education” majors in college out playing and partying while I was in terminal rooms all night in EE and Computer Science sure didn’t appear as if they were getting much of an education.

This teacher is a total idiot. According to her, Trump is the only person who did not serve in Vietnam.

Screw that! We pulled our 12 year old granddaughter out of public school. I’m her history teacher and music teacher. 1976 copyright on our freshman survey world history book. She’s getting basically the education that her 70 year grandpa got.

First fire them. Install cameras in school rooms as well as on teachers. Like they do the cops.

“Resource room teacher”? She’s in charge of the audio/visual equipment, right? That’s who we always checked with to find out who was intelligent and who was not.

The Principal’s only concern was that a student recorded this radical left wing hack.

I have to laugh. A teacher talking about someone that is uneducated! My Lord, everyone with an Ed degree is uneducated. They are indoctrinated, not educated. There is zero rigor in an Ed degree. Teachers are underachievers in high school, have low SAT scores, and low IQ’s. Many teachers are functionally illiterate. Teachers are professional failures. The results are there for everyone to see. Students do worse each year. All that teachers care about is their pay, benefits, summers off and grooming/molesting children. Quite simply, teachers deserve no respect.

Don’t let your children and grandchildren near anyone with an Ed degree.

Guarantee yuh she ain’t a native Mainiac. Another move-in from Massachusetts or New York. The Maine I knew as a child is only a dim memory now. Sad.
