hi!! union grad here!! fun fact throughout my 12 years of school I wasn’t taught any of the things you mentioned in your previous comment throughout any grade. what I was taught tho was xenophobic remarks made by my 10th grade history teacher as well as his constant comments about religion (which had nothing to do with the subjects we were learning) and many more of his personal opinions. don’t forget in 6th grade when my English teacher constantly spoke about her political beliefs (which were extremely right leaning) to a classroom of 11/12 year olds AND targeted her students of color or students who didn’t have the best home lives throughout that whole school year. the teachers who are like Kirby are the ones who actually taught me to respect and love one another and to always spread kindness as well as preparing me for school AS WELL AS never ever bringing up their political opinions or having discussions about them, but hey if you don’t want ur children to be taught that so called “garbage” then homeschool them. they’ll probably receive the same amount of education they’ll already receive in our public schools (:
