I believe that you are one of the few teachers who are not “new age” types. I feel terribly sorry for you.
However, teachers as a whole have become so politically correct along with all levels of scholastic management that they have only themselves to blame for what they face today.
Most teachers are liberals...big time! They march in “lockstep” with government propaganda and progressive beliefs, thusly blindly transmitting these beliefs and social behaviours to their students.
Come on! Apparently you have been teaching long enough to have seen these changes and you are clearly aware of what will happen if you go against the will of the group.
It is by no accident that schools now let children learn the good things about “gender identity” and “gender neutral” bathrooms and biased “black studies,” “racial atrocities” by whites from the beginning of time, and the oppression of women by males.
Believe me, I am VERY INFORMED to what is happening in our schools (from K to college) and they are the zoo from which Political Correctness exits from to taint a once great society.
