Is everyone really on board with our public school system being like this ? (state, support)

I agree with you up to that point.

I'm sure we have entirely different worldviews. For the record, I don't hate America. I just don't like the idea of involuntarily pledging yourself to any nation, as a child especially. It's forced nationalistic idolatry of the Land of the Free. Do you see the irony?

Needs to be a new policy if you are a teacher...

You either teach only academic subjects (English/writing, math, science, history (real), economics, art, etc...) or you find a new job. Straying into spewing racial hatred, wokeness, sexual deviancy (or any sex), or any such abnormal psychology is immediate termination time.

Nonsense. Parents need to teach their children to love the country that offers them more opportunity to succeed in life than any other country in the world. If a person doesn't understand that or can't do that, they are failing their children, themselves, and the future of a free world. It's not pledging yourself to a nation. It's pledging yourself against totalitarianism, dictatorships and communism.

I'm not going to watch a 13 minute rant on youtube. What's the synopsis?

Here in NC, GOP rule in the legislature has dropped our education system to 34th in the nation. While Mass., Ct. and NJ are the top 3.

Most kids in the state can't get into the best State University's

And this could be the reason we are seeing more and more looney teachers like this. The good teachers are getting fed up and quitting.

Don't *rely* on your school to take care of your kid. Teachers are human. They need to communicate. Sometimes they go too far.

Any evidence to support that statement? There are looney teachers, but they are a small minority.

Teachers are not quitting because of other teachers. They are quitting because of behavioral problems, out of control parents, and school administration that won't support them.
