Teacher Gripes That Virtual Classrooms Could Allow Parents to Witness Woke Brainwashing

Even the COVID-19 lockdowns may have a silver lining. At least virtual classrooms have given parents an opportunity to witness what is being done to their children’s vulnerable minds by the leftist ideologues who dominate education. Earlier this month, Daily Wire quoted teacher Matthew R. Kay (author of the book Not Light, But Fire: How to Lead Meaningful Race Conversations in the Classroom):

So, this fall, virtual class discussions will have many potential spectators — parents, siblings, etc. — in the same room. We’ll never be quite sure who is overhearing the discourse. What does this do for our equity/inclusion work?

How much have students depended on the (somewhat) secure barriers of our physical classrooms to encourage vulnerability? How many of us have installed some version of “what happens here stays here” to help this?

While conversations about race are in my wheelhouse, and remain a concern in this no-walls environment — I am most intrigued by the damage that “helicopter/snowplow” parents can do in honest conversations about gender/sexuality …

Teaching children to hate themselves for being Caucasian and to embrace harmful alternative sexualities becomes more challenging with someone who means the child well scowling in the background.
