The Washington Examiner’s Matthew Miller wrote about how a teacher in California put a question on a quiz that listed “all of Florida” and “Texans” as options for examples of people who are “complete idiots.” This is just the latest example of the attempted leftist, liberal, Democratic indoctrination and brainwashing children are subjected to in our country’s public schools.
A question on a Whitney High School quiz from Nov. 4 asked students, “A group of complete idiots is,” followed by four options: “KKK,” “all of Florida,” “Fox News,” or “Texans,” Miller wrote. An image of the question was also posted on Twitter.
Justin Cutts, the school’s principal, was notified of the controversial quiz question and sent out a letter to the school’s staff, students, and families. The principal declared his intention to conduct a “thorough investigation” and stated that “appropriate disciplinary actions will be taken.” The entire letter was posted on Twitter here.
The principal seems to suggest that any disciplinary action taken will remain confidential. Why? There is no doubt that what the teacher did was wrong. The teacher did this on the public dime and public time. The punishment should also be public.
And if this teacher was brazen enough to do this, it invites the question of what other toxic information he or she is shoving down children’s throats that has not been captured on photo or video. It is unlikely this is the first time such attempted brainwashing has occurred. Teachers who engage in this sort of unhinged behavior typically have had years to test the waters and escalate to this point. They tend to be repeat offenders. If there is any investigation, it should look into what this teacher has been teaching.
Examples of attempted radical leftist indoctrination are becoming far too common in our country’s public schools, which, in the meantime, are failing to provide students with even a rudimentary education. Perhaps if teachers worried more about teaching reading, science, and math instead of brainwashing and indoctrinating, we wouldn’t be falling behind the rest of the world in preparing children to face the challenges of the future.
