[quote=Anonymous]As a professor I am concerned by this level of parent involvement for other reasons. Teaching at the university is increasingly politicized with faculty in some states being explicitly instructed not to discuss or teach specific topics, faculty being fired for holding specific views and engaging in online discussions and going to demonstrations. I would be worried about situations where parents take offense at assignments or readings without any context. Ituhard to do your best as a faculty member with this degree of micromanagement and surveillance. And the argument that “because I am paying I should be allowed to dictate/weigh in on assignments. Readings etc” is one that we are hearing increasingly on the right.[/quote]
