Well my IQ is greater than 75 so that checks out |
School is for education not for activism. My workplace won't allow political discussion. How is school different from workplace? They are supposed to get fundamental knowledge. Politics belong to elsewhere. Kids had 5 days off due to snow + 2 days with 2 hours delay and then they decide to walk out? How is that smart? |
Precisely why they walked out what does anyone do with on a two hour delay? Cue the "but but AP instruction and AP tests" poster |
Education that begins each and every day with the Pledge of Allegiance. Kids navigating, discussing, and advocating for what they think that pledge ultimately entails is fully consistent with and fundamental to that education. |
Students have been encouraged to exercise their First Amendment rights going back nearly 70 years prior to the Civil Rights movement. Learning the fundamentals of our American government is a vital part of their education and one can argue that it's a vital lesson for them to learn prior to adulthood. Until the Government says the Hatch Act applies to students, I will always support these kinds of demonstrations. |
I am no longer surprised that American education is spiraling downward. Gender studies, Bible studies, activism, all this nonsense whereas kids do not know the basics of math and science. Look at the rate of students proficient in reading compared to 10 years ago. Sure, let's continue brainwashing the next generation. |
Again, what part of basic human decency is "brainwashing"? What part of understanding the way our country was founded and operates is "brainwashing"? Math skills are important but no amount of calculus will protect you when your fundamental rights are being infringed. Can't math your way out of illegal loss of due process rights. |
With 30-40% reading proficiency? Good luck teaching kids what patriotism is. Its not being a far left democrat or far right republican. Its a complex issue. Not fox news/CNN slogans. How USA was founded? Do you think AI generation will even know this? It requires a lot of reading. |
I was able to be taught the fundamentals of American Government and the founding principles this nation and our Constitution was written before the advent of AI. These kids are more than capable of it as well. Best way to teach these incredibly important lessons is through real world application and physical demonstration. Most students are incredibly tactile learners and will learn more through that than from any amount of reading. |
You are demonstrating a profound misunderstanding of basic U.S. civics and constitutional rights. I strongly suggest you go back to school. You are grossly misinformed. |
It would be brainwashing if the school, which is an extension of the government, was forcing these students to protest. But they are not. The students are organizing and demonstrating themselves, which again, they have the 1st Amendment Right to do. How are you this clueless about the Bill of Rights? |
Well the constitution disagrees. |
1. The poster does not understand the constitution 2. The poster is just repeating MAGA talking points Don't waste your time. |
I am neither maga nor the other side. I am equally opposed to Bible studies or whatever they teach in southern states or if they walk out to support patriarchy. |
