National Parent Group Emerges to Fight ‘Woke’ Education, Says It Harms Children
The Epoch Times ^ | 6/13/2021 | Petr Svab

Less than a year ago, Elana Fishbein was a happy stay-at-home mother, raising her three boys in a well-off Philadelphia suburb. She’d noticed the school that two of her boys attended would push out some lessons and activities that she considered politically biased or inappropriate, but each time was able to resolve the situation by opting her children out. In June last year, however, she saw no other choice than to take action.

Fishbein's organization, formed to counteract Critical Race Theory and other Marxist trends in education is called No Left Turn In Education.

These brave parents are fighting for their children. against the regime. We ALL need to do the same against the illegal JoeBama regime’s systematic trashing of American culture and our LIVES. WHY in the hell are they pushing these pathological vaccines?
Are they culling the herd?
Whites and Christians are under attack for no reason except to foment HATE.
Global warming is a total rip off and they don’t adhere to their own mandates concerning covid and vaccines.
One way or another, it’s time for this rogue regime to be displaced.

Fantastic, Thank you. And this does not just need support from only parents. Grandparents should get involved also if they care!

Of course it harms children. That’s the plan.

This isn’t going to stop leftist teachers from propagandizing kids. The only solution is to get government out of education completely or get your kids out of government schools. Government schools are rotten to the core.

Right.. Well that also takes the first step of organization and mass effort to change that doesn’t it? Or do we just sit around and wait for it to happen on it’s own?

Give it up and not try first steps and then more steps leading to your final solution? Got to start somewhere.

I was astonished - this weekend we visited relatives, first time since face masks were not required.

Our 11-year old niece “graduated” from 5th grade. It was a Pennsylvania city/county public school. She was going through her “yearbook,” pointing to pictures of her classmates.

She said: This one is gay, this one is “bi,” this one is “trans” (F to M), and this one is “trans” (M to F).

My goodness, FIFTH GRADE!!!! 11 years old !!!

Every one of the parents are giving their children over to this. How Heartbreaking.

Look at what these kids have been taught is important.

I imagine these kids have phones and that mandatory computer that the education leftists use to pry children from their families.

People can take whatever action they think will help, but if they believe that leftist teachers are going to abide by any of these rules, they are mistaken. People must take the time to look at everything their children are being taught, ask their kids every day about what happened in school and what the teachers said, and be prepared to take their kids out of these schools. No matter what, this is going to get worse, and taking over school boards is not going to change government ed.

“and taking over school boards is not going to change government ed.”

Not entirely. But it will make a big difference. School Boards have quite a bit of power. They can fire people, decertify Unions in some jurisdictions, they sign off on textbook purchases, and have a myriad other ways to make “woke” teachers so miserable they decide seek employment elsewhere.

You want to see a nasty election fight? Run for a seat on your local School Board.

They will if it results in their paycheck getting hit.

Well, I still don’t think that will change much. Leftists have been taking over education since at least the sixties.
Privatizing education at all levels is the only solution, but for whatever reason, people think government schools are great.

As soon as school boards start firing people, then the real battle will start. The woke mob will be out for blood.

Hope for the best, expect the worst. If and when a school board is taken over by people who actually care about education, and if they actually start making changes, then I will believe it. However, it may still be all on the surface. Leftist teachers are going to do what they want.
