Comments for For roots of classroom radicalism, look no further than university teacher training | Eastern North Carolina Now

This is exactly why parents can no longer trust teachers in our school system. Yes, there are some who are great teachers who do good work in educating students and keep politics out of the classroom. But there are others who are themselves indoctrinated in these leftwing college education classes or through the far left NCAE teachers union. Unless you know all teachers involved personally, there is no way to tell which group they fall into. That is why parents and citizens simply have to have oversight about what is going on in our schools and why we need a school board that will be vigilent in overseeing any recommendation brought to them and do their own research.

There is even a grant program at NC State University to turn out politicized "progressive" teachers to indoctrinate students in those political beliefs here in eastern North Carolina. To know that radical teachers are already here, one only has to look at the national list of teachers who declared they will still teach the Marxist CRT even if school policy says not to do so, and the number of teachers in eastern North Carolina actively proclaiming that. One has to wonder how many more do exactly that but just don't openly declare it.

If we cannot depoliticize our public schools, it may soon be time to look for alternatives, and the NC legislature is on the cusp of giving parents the ability to have vouchers to use to educate their children elsewhere.
