JEFFERSON CITY rCo A senator is proposing opening the door for parents to
sue school districts and individual teachers who they say are violating federal pupil rights protections.
A federal law rCo The Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment rCo outlines
eight categories of protected sensitive subject material that schools
and academic professional are required to obtain written parent
permission before discussing or including in academic material.
Protected subjects include politics, sexual behavior or attitudes,
religious practices, illegal activities and income, among others.
Look, this is mostly 'politics' ... and what's OK
and Not OK and Who Cares and Nobody Sez Shit will
vary widely from year to year, place to place.
Schools have been 'ideological indoctrination
institutions' for a LONG time. I'm old enough
to remember when they were major anti-RED/Commie.
Then they became PRO-Red/Commie. Now, depends.
Before commies they put huge emphasis on
'Christian' indoctrination, the Xian bible
being a major textbook.
Elsewhere in the world, similar ... just
depended on which nations/ideologies were
considered 'enemy' at the time. "Hitler/Lenin/
Jeezus Youth" equivs were NORMAL.
So, sorry, I'm going to say that in USA there
has NEVER been such a thing as a 'neutral'
public ed system. NOWHERE really.
Sucks, but reality is reality and you're
NOT gonna do much about it. Whom/What-
Ever the Current Regime is, it WILL
make great efforts to indoctrinate
the kiddies.
