Lars Larson says teachers are using students to push political agendas
Lars Larson
The Northwest Nonsense
Here’s a simple question you might find insulting: what kind of parent lets strangers use his or her child as a political prop?
The short answer is almost anyone who has kids in public school, where teachers push kids to skip school for political protests … and does not object.
We’re seeing it at least once a week here in the Northwest and I don’t hear a word of objection.
Before you tell me there’s nothing you can do … let me give you a tip about laws on truancy. Skipping school is forbidden by truancy laws but those laws also make it a class C violation … punishable by a big fine … to “willfully encourage anyone” to skip school, no matter the reason.
Now the legacy news media ain’t telling you this.
But think of the good you could do if you told police that a teacher or principal or superintendent encouraged kids at the school YOUR child attends to walk out.
One mom informed me yesterday that her child’s school sent out a notice two days in advance of such a walkout … meaning teachers knew of the event and approved.
That’s illegal because it hurts your kids.
Oregon and Washington spend more than most states on education, both get pathetic results with kids who can’t read, write or do math … but still graduate.
And teachers are using them to push political agendas. Someone please tell me how kids benefit from that.
