Another good essay!!

Even before I became aware of the gender cult I had written our school to say “Please trust that parents are teaching values. If a child is found to be bullying or anything untoward then please let the parents know, but assume we have morals”. There was the “ raising the non racist” kid parent seminar. While I didn’t think in our blue state Lib leaning needed it it was optional and maybe that was helpful for some. My beef was my kids not reading classics and having social justice be the subjects. The book choices are problematic. I’m thrilled when they listen to MLKjr “ I have a dream” but I was unhappy when my 10th grade girl had to read “ The bluest eyes” by Toni Morrison. The girl is sexually and physically abused by her father. It was not ok. This year at a different school another English teacher had the class watch a wildly violent film ostensibly about racism. My daughter and I both complained. The NY Times just recently did another piece about these terrible conservative parents banning books like “ the bluest eyes” The writers assumption was that it had something to do with race. No I do t want my kids exposed to violence and sexual abuse. And why does every book need send a message! Cant it just get them to enjoy reading and teach them to write! No. There has to be a mission!
