In the US public school system, teachers have gone from being educators to being full-on influencers.

This story proves the exact opposite is happening.


Don't have opinions. Be robots. Or you'll get fired.


A proper education, by the way, is learning to think for yourself.

How does giving someone a gay pride bracelet crush their soul?




Interesting how you chopped out most of the rest of my post as well.
I only addressed the portion of your post that was relevant to your response to me.

As far as your question... I guess giving a gay pride bracelet is about as dangerous as a bracelet with a Bible verse stating that homosexual behavior is sin.

I'm glad to have raised kids that are not so fragile that their souls are crushed from being given a plastic bracelet.

You cannot mean this.

Please think about what you are saying.

You cannot really think that teenagers are so impressionable that being handed a bracelet is going to turn them gay. Come on.


Nor is giving someone a gay pride bracelet a 'sick act'.


People are gay, straight or otherwise of their own accord. And being gay is not 'sick' either.
Have some tolerance and acceptance.
It works with 4th graders.

The teacher went on to say that of the 32 students that she teaches, “20 of them are LGBTQIA+ and have come out to me.”

Results after the teacher molested them. Another "turned out" feel-good story. Homosexuals have tried to also get primates at the zoo to get gay with one another. So then they can jump for joy and say "see, it's natural/normal". The San Francisco Zoo had that issue years ago. It came to light because a female new-hire was instructed to participate and she didn't want to, so they fired her. She filed a lawsuit for wrongful termination but that's as far as the local "media" reported on it. Not sure what ever became of it.

1. This story isn't about 4th graders. It's about teenagers and gay pride bracelets.

2. Your link doesn't work.

I'd say - from the time I was about 12 or 13, through high school graduation, she did this.

So, I thought you were wrong, and started looking it up. I couldn't find any 'all states and their requirements' page, so had to do it individually.

You've got to be kidding me that this is all that is required for some people to become substitute teachers:

*Minimum high school diploma or GED certificate; priority given to individuals with valid or expired teaching certificates

*Background check (fingerprinting)

That's one state, but it does prove that what you said is correct.

Are these schools kidding me right now?

If the school is desperate for a substitute, you don't even need a certificate? You can just go on over to the local school straight out of high school and get the job?

No WONDER our kids are so stupid these days!
if you think that's bad - last month, new mexico had to send in the freakin' national guard to serve as substitute teachers.

Google title: "Texas Teacher Claims 20 Fourth Graders Out Of 32 Students Identify As LGBTQ"

I've noticed that links are sometimes not working off C-D regarding certain topics. Wonder why.

hopefully you've not raised any so fragile as to have their souls crushed by being denied the opportunity to give away plastic bracelets...

Being given a plastic bracelet versus losing your livelihood and a job your have worked at for many years: not even in the same ballpark.
I'd have thought that was obvious.
