Any thoughts? I don’t think politics should be relevant for preschool, but unfortunately, in this current climate and in this area, it is.
Thanks! |
Wut? |
So you're looking for a preschool where they'll teach free market economics and libertarian principles? |
Yea. What? Go away. We don't like conservatives in Bethesda/CC. |
No, it isn’t. Unless you make it so. It’s pre-school. |
Are you afraid some wacky progressive teacher will tell your kid to be nice to other kids whose skin doesn't look like hers? |
IMHO Bouvoir NCS |
You’d be surprised. Six years ago when my kids were in preschool in NWDC there were several inappropriate references in the curriculum to left leaning political agenda issues. Yes I complained and it was somewhat toned down. I can only imagine that it’s worse now. |
Church based preschools are a good place to start but that one of pretty obvious |
Yeah, I mean they said grace at my kid’s church based preschool (even though they advertised the preschool as independent/nonreligious) if that would make you happy.
You sound like one of those people who believes CRT is being taught in ES though |
Thanks all- any specific school names could be helpful (agreed re church ones- but churches can vary a lot too).
I’m sorry that people in this area don’t like moderate conservatives but I don’t like the idea of my very young child being taught that he is evil because he is white and that he should maybe consider being a she (at age 2). I think these are certainly topics to be addressed at a certain age but not in preschool. I would imagine (and hope) that there are other parents in the area that would prefer the same. Again, any specific school names would be appreciated. |
I'm sorry that the presence of my two-mom family scares you so much, OP. It must be hard for your child to hear the teacher refer to "parents" instead of "moms and dads."
Thoughts and prayers. |
Huh? I can’t imagine there’s a single preschool teaching that. If they are they are a bad preschool full stop. |
I suggest you go to the school open houses and ask the questions you want to ask. That way, you can give the Head of School a heads up about your priorities and they can decide whether or not they want to admit your child and deal with your family. |
Go away. Seriously. Move to Alabama or wherever else you can find more bigoted people to live around. |
