Here’s your 32539872392th indicator to homeschool your kids.
The National Education Association (NEA) announced this week that two progressive, very obviously left-leaning, books were among their selections for educators to read this summer in preparation for the 2023-24 school year.
I guess the best way to indoctrinate kids is to indoctrinate the people who will be teaching said kids.
The list, “Great Summer Reads for Educators,” was released in early June and it’s latest recommendations were “Gender Queer” and “White Fragility.” Supposedly the list was established, “so that they [educators] can better understand their colleagues, students, and families they serve,” the webpage from NEA states.
While the list indicates that these books “are not recommended for students,” the hidden agenda of the union is far from hidden. If a teacher reads a particular book, they’ll likely be influenced by it and obviously, given the nature of their work, would then use that influence on their students. This can be beneficial when learning about how to deal with bullying or maybe about how to teach a child with a learning disability but do teachers really need to read about how to masturbate or how to have anal sex in order to properly teach his or her students? That seems very doubtful.
Yet, that’s exactly what this teachers union wants.
By now, you’ve likely all heard of “Gender Queer” as in the last two years it’s reached dozens of school libraries and been the topic of numerous school board hearings for its exotic and hyper-sexualized material.
For example, pages in “Gender Queer” explain with images how to receive and perform anal sex, how to masturbate, all about sex toys, orgasms, blow jobs and feeling yourself up while driving, among other sexually explicit things. Nonetheless, these concepts should not be talked about in school and by encouraging teachers to read about them, there’s a high probability that they’ll be mentioned or will somehow influence lessons.
“White Fragility,” is essentially bold check mark on the list of titles that support the idea that white people are inherently racist. It's a book about "how to talk about Juneteenth," the NEA's webpage stated. Some of the chapter titles include: “The Challenges of Talking to White People about Racism,” “Racism and White Supremacy,” “Anti-Blackness,” “Racial Triggers for White People,” and even one titled, “White Women’s Tears.” All in all, the book appears to push the idea of critical race theory which again.
Allow me to reiterate the fact that if these are the types of books teachers are encouraged to read in preparation for their new school year, these are the concepts that kids are going to learn about in school, whether implicitly or explicitly.
As Fox News Digital pointed out, the teacher’s summer reading list came after the president of NEA, Becky Pringle, declared “racial and social justice” as a “pillar” of the group’s efforts. Here's what she stated:
For us at the NEA, education justice must be about racial justice, it must be about social justice, it must be about climate justice. It must be about all of those things. For our students to be able to come to school ready to learn every day--We can never think of education as an isolated system because everything connects to our students' ability to learn. So, we have to necessarily talk about housing justice, food inequality, and the reality that we all just went through a global pandemic together and of course it was the most marginalized communities that were already suffering from the inequities in every single social system in this country and every country.
I’m unsure what part of that translates to “our teachers need to be well versed in all the types and caveats of anal, oral, and every other type of sex act " or that their colleagues are inherently racist just because of the color of their skin. Which, if it wasn’t obvious enough, is racist in and of itself.
This is just another example of how screwed up the public school system is and at this rate, it’s hard to see a light at the end of the tunnel.
