What is a teacher to do except follow the rules laid down and teach the curriculum handed out?

The answer to this question is very simple.

They should do what other professionals are expected to do by their licensing boards and by their fellow professionals. They should quit. They should refuse to participate in malpractice even if it means they are fired from their jobs.

I think you are a tad harsh in your judgment.

Professionals who knowingly hurt children through malpractice, or outright ignorance, should be judged harshly.

Do you pay taxes? Are your taxes used by the federal government to fund abortions here and overseas? Isn't it incumbent upon you to stop contributing to a system that murders babies? So why don't you stop paying your taxes? You are just helping the baby-murdering system by going along with it, you butcher...

Absolutely. However, condemning with a broad brush is far different than judging harshly. You tend to espouse the former, while only claiming the latter.

I agree. As Thomas Sowell and others have pointed out, the rot in public education is top to bottom, side to side, through and through.

The schools of education are run by extreme leftists whose primary goals are indoctrination rather than education.

The entering students in schools of education are predominantly those with the lowest IQ and SAT scores (that's from Sowell's research). Yes, there are some smart teachers, but they are in the minority.

The certification processes (controlled by the teachers' unions) in most states hinge on indoctrination rather than real qualifications.

The teachers unions are driven by political goals rather than educational goals. Their spending on political action is much greater than on any improvements in education or classroom conditions.

The list goes on and on. Public Education is beyond reform. The only way to improve it is to quit funding it. Return the education tax dollars to the parents, and let the parents decide how best to provide education for their children. The public schools would have to compete with other options in the education marketplace.
