Youngkin to launch tip line for parents to complain about teachers

[Anonymous]

I will 100% call this to complain about Youngkin's policies and let him know exactly how much more he should be paying teachers.

This will get taken down in no time because the liberal troll mob will come for it on Twitter.

This is always a good idea. The schools only hear complaints 90 percent of the time. Positive feedback is great learning tool for students and it it is pretty good for everyone else as well.

There are now form complaints to rat out schools reciting the pledge of allegiance and forcing those that don't believe to conform or feel excluded.

I don't support Trump, Youngking, the republicans, or any of this nonsense. HOWEVER, a very small part of this backlash from the conservatives can likely stem from this precise feeling that they have been excluded, that their beliefs have been excluded. We practice "inclusion by exclusion" - forbidding any religious symbols or talk of Jesus at "holiday" time; "winter break" and "happy holidays." Recognizing other holiday traditions and calling them by name, but prohibiting "Christmas" or talking of "God." It's fine for any secular non-Christian to celebrate Christmas; but a practicing Christian can't wish someone a "Merry Christmas." The Christian has to be cognizant of "Happy Hanukah" and Kwanza and Diwali and Ramadan, and whatever; but is anyone obligated to remember and acknowledge Christmas or other Christian holy days?

If we're going to be inclusive, we can't do it by exclusion.

What? Conservatives just want their space protected but constantly attack everyone else.

And progressives don't want anyone to disagree about anything and be tolerant of everything from everyone, even if it is "offensive" to an individual or doesn't allow their view to be heard or expressed without being belittled or dismissed.

That's not his call. That's the commonwealth's legislature. They have to budget years in advance and then tax us accordingly.

It honestly makes me sick. It harkens back to the Un-American Activities Committee

Exactly right. People who aren’t seeing this for what it is need to go back and study history.

But isn't it a reaction to the absolutely crazy things some teachers have gotten away with teaching?

My DC's Middle school science teacher goes on rants weekly on various liberal objectives. How awful Trump was, how great a leader Hillary Clinton would have been and that she is still the most qualified woman for the Presidency. How the earth will be dead in 7 years due to climate change, how the electoral college is racist, etc...

If I were to bring this up with the principal, it just puts a target on my kid's and our families back.

This teacher is now a meme in our house, i.e. what would mister "Red" say about this? or this is what mister "Yellow" said today in class and we didn't have time to finish our work.

My kid will be fine, they know we live in a very progressive area, but at least it is just one teacher doing this, and not all. And DC is smart enough to know when a teacher is sharing inappropriate opinions and can just laugh it off.

Yes; but the climate change example is appropriate from a science teacher - especially since they're right about the seriousness of environment and climate change issues. That's science, not politics.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT????
Literally none of this happens.

Yes, it does. It's "offensive" or "insensitive" to wish someone a merry christmas who is Jewish or Muslim or agnostic. The Christian well-wisher has to somehow know what the other person's beliefs are or just say "happy holidays." There are no "Christmas" songs or Christmas pageants in schools anymore. But there are various acknowledgments and celebrations of other cultural holidays and traditions, and secularization and commercialization of Christmas with lots of "Santa" stuff is perfectly fine.

So true. Cultural Marxism.

Agree . These types of snitch attempts ways get flooded with prank calls. This will be a waste if time.

Hopefully the TikTok kids will take care of this nonsense.

Some little genius always writes a code that will automatically call and leave this or that message. They figure out how to mimic what is needed to get the call through, they share the method out in cyberspace, game over.

This will get publicity on reddit and then fake calls will flood out the real calls. The same thing happened in Texas when they set up portals to report abortions

Exactly. They want to hear from the public? They will hear...all day and all night.

People need to start reporting coaches and teachers for leading prayers.

They already do that.

I think perhaps you've never been a member of a minority group by any definition. When 99% of people were celebrating Christmas pointing out the one kid celebrating Hanukah wasn't exactly inclusive, was it. Inclusion is about creating an environment where all are welcome and fell welcome, not like they're the token diversity rep. It is no hardship for a Christian to be cognizant of others. Frankly, its fascinating and enriching to celebrate some of the holidays I didn't grow up with.

That's fine. But it all shouldn't be at the suppression of expressing the Christmas beliefs as well. It shouldn't involve shutting others up. As you say, ALL should feel welcomed.

Funny how put out you are now that the shoe is on the other foot.

No, what's funny is if you objected to that, why would you be OK with this? Parents are even less reliable reporters.

Also, Northam never set up any such thing.

School district has. (Loudoun County, or Fairfax, I believe.)

Agree.

Why shouldn’t there be accountability for teachers?? Every other job has some sort accountability attached to it.

Apparently true:

They made the language intentionally vague, but it appears the “student ambassadors” could indeed denounce teachers and staff who fail to meet equity expectations.

Talk to the principal. Talk to the school board and superintendent. That is the chain of command in education. There have been teachers fires at my kids’ ES so I see teachers being held accountable.

Maybe the point is just to not assume everyone else is celebrating what you celebrate. When the majority assumes everyone else is like them it creates an environment which otherizes anyone else. If you don't know someone well enough to know whether they're celebrating a religious holiday, why would you wish them Happy Three Kings Day, or Orthodox Easter, or Ash Wednesday? I similarly wouldn't walk around wishing every woman Happy Mother's Day, and every man Happy Father's Day. What if that person had just had a miscarriage, or a failed IVF?

Hmm, I don't think children should have to walk in a line anymore. I don't agree with having only lunch and snack time. What if they identify as part-Hobbit? This could be fun.
