>California Teachers Union Wants Kids to Pursue Gender Transition Without Parental Consent

Wtf is that, it's a teachers union not a fucking medical committee

Home school or private school

The problem is that even when we choose these options we are still taxed to pay for this crap.

↑this. Taxes are really starting to piss me off, these days. They throw taxes around like a company trying to boost profits, instead of what a government is supposed to be in the first place. What ever happened to NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION? We get absolutely zero say on what happens to the money that gets taxed from us, and where it comes from/how much. It's absolutely bullshit.

This is why I consider my daughter's teachers employees, and tell her to report any mismanagement of the store, so to speak, so I can give them shit through all the right channels whenever they start to get uppity about something.

It's super annoying. I pay a lot for a private school, yet I'm still paying for a public school which I don't use.

What other scenario outside of government does this happen? Nowhere!

If I buy a Chevy I don't have to write an additional check to Ford.

It's madness.

How else are they going to make their yearly payments on the debt? I am not sure what the interest rate is now, but I am assuming since it's over 20 trillion, it's probably quite a bit.

Yes.

Schools have your children for 6 hours a day. You have them for 4 between the time you get back from work and they go to sleep.

Took the words right out of my mouth. I constantly remind my daughter that her mother and I pay her teacher's salary, and that we're literally her teacher's boss (through taxes): so she needs to tell us anything that the teachers do that makes her feel uncomfortable, because her teachers are normal people who can sometimes be wrong and need to be talked to. This strategy has proved incredibly effective, so far. But you can't give up vigilance, and you have to make sure your kids are always aware of how much more they can/should trust you than any teacher.

Excellent point. My son isn't at the age for school just yet, but we'll be reminding him of the hierarchy constantly, as well as the reasoning behind it, just as you have done.

I've worked with teachers before (and am one now). Teaching is a skill like any other, but it's definitely a very mixed bag. I'd not hesitate to say that most teachers are losers who couldn't make it anywhere else: those that can't do, teach.

I'm not worried about mine. Morality is taught at home. Schools can indoctrinate those who have not received their values from their family. Those folks can fail to breed....
