@GoodAvatar I am a retired teacher. I was definitely not afraid to teach true history. The democrats are the one's who want to teach revisionist history because they want to absolve themselves of their racist history. They like to propagate the "party switch" myth. That is easily debunked by doing a little research on historical voting data.

However, the public schools don't like charter schools because they take students/funds away from them. That's why the teachers unions want to get rid of them.

They will rebrand it and call it something different. We must remain vigilant.

4Freedom4All I guess it depends on where you live. Some states/school districts pay more. When I retired (early) I was only making $38,000 a year and I didn't belong to the teachers union. So no long term benefits. But I see your point the vast majority of teachers reap those benefits and that's worth a lot of money.

4Freedom4All True, wherever you live if you make more money everything else is more expensive. I think Kentucky schools are lower paying than Tennessee. You could be right though Tennessee is pretty low income, but the cost of living is low too. I did pay into SS. As far as I know even my friends who have a pension still get SS when they turned 65. I didn't think it was an option not to pay into SS. I agree teachers get a lot of perks, summers, holidays, snow days etc. That part of the job was nice. After I was teaching for awhile all the government mandates were a pain. Plus the lack of discipline and Common Core curriculum was trash. I'm glad I'm out. I know plenty of teachers who are just in it for the perks and for the most part they are terrible. They are also the one's who love the unions the most.

Reid is no professional. She's a propagandist. Her main argument was that Kendi isn't a CRT founder. Which is true, but he sure does push it.
