Here in NY that is somewhat a new norm that is acceptable for far too many imho it saddens me to be honest.
I took my daughter to a Trump rally in the summer of 2015 because it was only 20 minutes from us and I liked his platform. Thought it would be a good experience for my 14 year old to have and it was, she actually enjoyed it which I agree is a bit odd for that age. Anyway, when school started back up in September one of her classes had the usual "what did you do over the summer" sessions and she brought up the Trump rally amongst other things. She said the teacher stopped her after mentioning Trump and asked her questions like "do you think Trump is a racist"? And "how do you feel about him being a womanizer"?
She was crying when she told me this, obviously I am biased here but my daughter is a good kid that doesn't cause troubles and does things like opens doors for old people, she got in a fight at school sticking up for a boy that was repeatedly bullied a few others. In short she is a good kid, I am not going to lie, if it makes my daughter cry... I am pissed. I spoke with the Principal about what happened and he acknowledged that others have had similar problems with the same teacher and in fact, another kid told the Principal about my daughter crying after what was said to her about the Trump rally. The Principal said not much can be done except move her to a different classroom so we did. Just sucks that things like that are acceptable within our public school system. My daughter said that not many of her teachers like Trump which speaks volumes about Teachers freely giving their political opinion to their students. When I was in school I had no idea what party affiliation my teachers were, and strongly feel that is how it should still be today. Public schools are directly paid for by us and shouldn't be influencing our kids in any way with their personal political views. It only leads us closer to indoctrination.
I am not grouping all teachers together there, we have great teachers and I am thankful for them everyday. Many of them have to work twice as hard to keep our kids grades up during this pandemic. I do tell the Principal when I see this and let him know that they are doing outstanding work so I am not just a complainer lol My daughter is my life and if she is crying I am also upset.
Don't have anything nice to say... don't say nothin!
