She is angry. But I don't blame her. A lot of the stuff they are pushing on children today can absolutely be described as poison to the mind. I generally don't like loud, angry people, but sometimes, you have to make your voice heard. Thankfully, this is the land of the free, where we value the right to free speech.

My parents pay school taxes. OMG. I can't with this poster.
That poster also equates taking advantage of K-12 education, which the parents pay towards via outrageous property tax, to people who take food stamps and Medicaid, which is entirely free (to them).

Most people on food stamps work and therefore pay taxes.

And even renters, who do not pay property taxes, can send their kids to public schools for free.

People on food stamps do not pay property tax, which is what funds the schools.

And as far as renters, what’s your point? That they get free education for their kids. But certainly, the parents who DO pay for the schools have every right to object when their money goes to teach their children to hate themselves for being white, don’t you think?

Waaaay overblown with all this racist stuff in the schools. It’s good to have a segment on black contributions to the country, and of course we all learned about slavery and that lesson should continue, but the focus of a child’s education should be on academic subjects....reading, writing, arithmetic. NOT “white people bad.”

People on food stamps who own houses absolutely do fund the schools.... But we're conflating two different things here.

History and current events are academic subjects.

People are poor enough to be on food stamps, but among the upper half of Americans who can afford to own their homes? There may be some, but for the most part, people on food stamps rent.

Yes, history and current events are academic subjects. The problem comes in when liberals run the curriculum and promote biased, and now racist, attitudes. History is a lot more than slavery and how evil whites are, but an inordinate amount of time is spent in that. Children are coming home thinking that the most pressing thing to learn is how awful some whites were to some blacks 200 years ago.

She was brought up as a muslim but is now a Christian. Listen closer..

Good grief, educate them yourself then! That's like food stamp recipients crying that they can't buy cigarettes with their government stipends. You get what you get and you don't get upset or you get it yourself.
This woman's property taxes keep the doors opened to this school. She has every right and then some to know what her children are taught! And she does not agree with what they are taught she can voice her opinion.
