Utterly false logic, of course.

Teachers have a captive audience.

Coming from See BS of all places.

The MSM knows all about stifiling free speech.

Typical of CBS. Use selective parts of laws to advance an agenda. It’s not that race, etc., can’t be taught, it’s when there’s a political bent to what is being taught. CRT, the main focus of the laws written, are very one sided that leaves no room for rebuttal. Plus, Students don’t know enough history to even begin to question the BS. It therefore leaves it to the outraged parents to push the state to require balance.

They are only concerned with speech they think should be allowed, not free speech. I thought it was weird that CBS would be taking up this topic, so I knew there had to be a catch.

What a joke. Teachers are not acting as private citizens in the classroom -- they are acting as employees and agents of the state. The idea that free speech encompasses them being able to say whatever they want to students at taxpayer expense is a complete joke. Would the left feel the same if a teacher was singing the praises of the KKK in classrooms??

Or to put it in a way the left may understand, teachers should be no more free to say whatever they want in the classroom to students than cops should be to say whatever they want to members of the public when they are on duty.

After years of cancelling and censoring speech, the left is now claiming that censorship is mainly coming from the right, but exercising control over school curricula has never been considered "censorship." It is nothing new for state legislatures to lay down basic requirement for public education.

Establishing school curricula always involves choices of what to include and what to exclude. In recent years, the left has been eliminating many traditional materials from school curricula, but this was never considered "censorship." It's only "censorship" when conservatives push back.

It’s time for Americans to stomp out the Bill of Rights haters. Sick bastards.

It’s outrageous these public employees would equate CRT IN SCHOOLS with protected free speech.

NOBODY is entitled to exercise their protected speech and expect protected employment.

That’s how much the commies in the schools know about civil rights, law and the constitution.

Parents are the employers.

The free-speech erosion is even happening in schools. Since January last year, according to PEN America, Republican lawmakers have introduced more than 150 state laws that would restrict how teachers can discuss race, sexual orientation, and gender identity in the classroom.

This isn't about free speech. It is limiting perversion. Parents pay taxes. They are the bosses. Teachers can live by the rules of their employers. The government needs to simply shut up and do the work the people want of them. If perverted teachers don't like that, then find a different employer.

Classrooms aren’t a free speech zone. Schools serve the kids and their tax paying parents who together determine what is taught.

This article start out with such promise. I thought they were going to talk about the massive amount of censorship on Twitter, Youtube, Facebook and the like, employers firing people for donating to causes that are not politically correct, or the obsession on the Left to snuff out Fox News or any alternative media encouraging Incorrect Thoughts.

Instead, they focus on the material presented by schoolteachers, who are paid to perform a particular service, but choose instead to advocate a point of view that was unasked for and unwanted by the taxpayers who pay them.

The right to free speech endowed by our Creator is meant to help liberate from coercion and deception people who are seeking the truth. Propagandizing children who are a captive audience, and particularly susceptible to suggestion and coercion, does the opposite.

Teachers are paid by tax payers and work for the city. They teach what they are told and not their goofball conspiracy theories. They can spout their nonsense on their free time.

“a new law limits what teachers can say about racism and sexism”


Ah, see the Devil is in the details. The new law doesn’t restrict teachers and students discussing either race or sex, but rather racism (currently defined as exclusive to white right-wing bigots) and sexism (currently defined as those who disagree with the new-found ‘truth’ that boys can be girls (and vice-versa) if they really believe it enough).

But if they read a verse from the Bible, watch out. That would be hate speech.

Glad the left is suddenly interested in free speech. But Teachers are public employees paid to speak on behalf of the the State NOT themselves.

They can say whatever they want outside of the classroom on their own time, but not on the Taxpayers dime before a captive audience of children who don’t know any better.

<< Jennifer Given, who teaches high-school history in Hollis, New Hampshire, said of the laws, “It’s about making up false narratives to further a political goal of your own.” >>

Projection alert.

It’s the MSM begging for censorship. Watch the WH press gaggles. Or is it gargles?
