Lisa Benson for October 28, 2021

Just the parents who are only concerned with threatening to attack schoolboard members who want to have teachers teach science, history and other truthful subjects.

Stupid take is stupid

Never had any trouble like this when Trump was in charge

That’s right, Lisa. The DOJ is telling parents to “Sit down and stop threatening other people’s lives!”

Psh. The truth would be EMBARRASSED to show up in a Lisa B cartoon. Fortunately, it never has to.

Where are all these concerned parents when the GOP is cutting funding for education, they don’t vote like the are very concerned.

Loony Lisa never read the memo. It never mentioned parents, only people who threatened school board officials and teachers. This has nothing to do with rational discussions at school board meetings

More Fox Propaganda distraction which Loony Lisa parrots because she knows absolutely nothing about the subject.

And this while the Justice Department is persecuting patriotic tourists who, invited by helpful Congressional representatives, peacefully toured the Capitol on Jan. 6. Tsk tsk tsk

Lisa’s off her anti-delusion meds again…

A friend is a true Republican as is his GF. She is on the BOE and he goes to meetings to protect her from Lisa’s “concerned parents” who he is afraid may attack HER!! She only has two more meetings and OUT! She is tried of the “concerned parents”!!!

That is the way A.G. Garland thinks!!!

Maga’s make death threats all the time and you support it.

The DOJ memo the right is foaming at the mouth about never mentions parents or terrorists. Those words never appear in it.

Ms. Benson just can’t help repeating a lie, she’s a liar.

Yes, we do need concerned parents that will mask their kids to protect them and others around them. Now, we need concerned parents that get themselves and their kids vaccinated because they love their kids and their community. We don’t need "concerned " parents that tell school board members, “We know where you live.”

Easier to take on individual parents than those Jan 6th protesters.. those guys were organized by the big guy himself. And.. like any good mafia kind of organization.. protects their friends.

It seems that Lisa can’t tell the difference between a “Concerned Parent” and an “Out Of Control Parent”. That leads me to believe that were she to be confronted with either one, she would be immediately reaching for her Open Carry Glock 9. That wouldn’t turn out well…

I am so sick of the whole white Christians are persecuted narrative. It is such BS. Just because you aren’t able to mistreat, abuse and force people to do your will IS NOT PERSECUTION!! I know because you are a white (and claim to be Christian) you think everything you do is sanctioned by God, but trying acting like a human being with empathy for once in your hateful life.

Where did the erroneous concept that parents know best? The jails and graveyards are filled with the parents’ failures.

Rational thinking is not one of Benson’s qualities!

The next time some academics tell you how important diversity is, ask how many Republicans there are in their sociology department.

Thomas Sowell

Not since the days of the Hitler Youth have young people been subjected to more propaganda on more politically correct issues. At one time, educators boasted that their role was not to teach students what to think but how to think. Today, their role is far too often to teach students what to think on everything from immigration to global warming to the new sacred trinity of ‘race, class and gender.’

Thomas Sowell

ANYONE who studies the history of ideas should notice how much more often people on the political left, more so than others, denigrate and demonize those who disagree with them – instead of answering their arguments.Thomas Sowell

One of the most important reasons for studying history is that virtually every stupid idea that is in vogue today has been tried before and proved disastrous before, time and again.Thomas Sowell

Lisa, have you tried not being a domestic terrorist?

Someone once said that the most important knowledge is knowledge of our own ignorance. Our schools are depriving millions of students of that kind of knowledge by promoting “self-esteem” and encouraging them to have opinions on things of which they are grossly ignorant, if not misinformed.Thomas Sowell

Apparently almost anyone can do a better job of educating children than our so-called ‘educators’ in the public schools. Children who are home-schooled by their parents also score higher on tests than children educated in the public schools. … Successful education shows what is possible, whether in charter schools, private schools, military schools or home-schooling. The challenge is to provide more escape hatches from failing public schools, not only to help those students who escape, but also to force these institutions to get their act together before losing more students and jobs.Thomas Sowell

So long as public schools are treated as places that exist to provide guaranteed jobs to members of the teachers’ unions, do not be surprised to see American students continuing to score lower on international tests than students in countries that spend a lot less per pupil than we do.Thomas Sowell

The sad and tragic fact is that the civil rights movement, despite its honorable and courageous past, has over the years degenerated into a demagogic hustle, promoting the mindless racism they once fought against.Thomas Sowell

Even when black youth gangs target white strangers on the streets and spew out racial hatred as they batter them and rob them, mayors, police chiefs and the media tiptoe around their racism and many in the media either don’t cover these stories or leave out the race and racism involved.Thomas Sowell

Racism does not have a good track record. It’s been tried out for a long time and you’d think by now we’d want to put an end to it instead of putting it under new management.Thomas Sowell

A recently reprinted memoir by Frederick Douglass has footnotes explaining what words like ‘arraigned,’ ‘curried’ and ‘exculpate’ meant, and explaining who Job was. In other words, this man who was born a slave and never went to school educated himself to the point where his words now have to be explained to today’s expensively under-educated generation.Thomas Sowell

The watchdog group Judicial Watch said Friday that it has received 3,597 pages of records from Virginia’s Loudoun County that show a coordinated effort to advance Critical Race Theory initiatives in the county’s public schools, despite widespread public opposition to the curriculum.

The records were produced in accordance with two Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act requests to Loudoun County Public Schools.

In a recent survey conducted by the Manhattan Institute, a majority of Hispanic and Black parents oppose critical race theory being taught in public schools.According to the data presented in the survey, there appears to be a bipartisan consensus surrounding the removal of race-based theories being presented to students. Approximately 66% of parents oppose teaching CRT, as compared to the overall population, which stands at 54%.

Two educators in the Springfield, Mo., school district are suing their employer for violating their First Amendment rights by requiring them to take Critical Race Theory training, which included telling the employees to vote for socialist candidates. “Last year, the school district there required all of its employees — so anyone down from a bus driver driving the kids to school, all the way up to an AP history teacher, actually teaching them in the classroom – required them to do what they called an equity and anti-racist training,” Kimberly Hermann, SLF chief counsel, told the John Solomon Reports podcast. This training told educators to commit to “equity” and become “anti-racist educators,” she added. Hermann argued that the training violated the educators’ First Amendment rights by “compelling the teachers, and the educators in these trainings to agree with the doctrines that they know are illegal … they’re then being asked to go into the classroom and violate the students’ equal protection rights.”

In the training the educators were given documents to take into the classroom that teach them “to place each child on an oppression matrix” and to put themselves on an “oppression matrix and identify that you are a white supremacist because, say, maybe you voted for Donald Trump,” Hermann explained. “Or maybe because if you are a victim of a crime, and possibly the person committing that crime is a person of color and you call the police, you are then a white supremacist.”

The trainers also taught the educators to “espouse socialist ideas” and “to vote for socialist candidates,” while also teaching socialist ideas to kids as young as four or five years old, Hermann said.

The Senate has approved an amendment to the $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation bill that will ban the use of federal funds from being used to teach Critical Race Theory in schools.Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., introduced the “Stop CRT Act” in an effort to prevent tax dollars from being used to teach the controversial set of ideas in public school classrooms. “They want to teach our children that America is not a good nation but a racist nation. Those teachings are wrong and our tax dollars should not support them,” Cotton said ahead of the vote. “My amendment will ensure that federal funds aren’t used to indoctrinate children as young as pre-K to hate America.”All Senate Democrats voted against the ban, aside from West Virginia moderate Joe Manchin, who gave the GOP the vote it needed to successfully pass the amendment during series of votes late Tuesday and early Wednesday.“Our future depends on the next generation of kids loving America and loving each other as fellow citizens, no matter their race,” said Cotton.

A school board member in Florida chaperoned an elementary school field trip to…wait for it…A gay bar. Yep Rosie’s Bar & Grill.

Taking kids to a bar for a field trip sounds like it should be a big NO! But I guess the mentally ill leftists think it’s ok because it’s a GAY bar? SMH

I was never worried about what was taught to my children in public school. On the contrary, I led them to question everything. As far as Critical Race Theory, the definition I have always subscribed to was:

Critical race theory (CRT), intellectual and social movement, and loosely organized framework of legal analysis based on the premise that race is not a natural, biologically grounded feature of physically distinct subgroups of human beings but a socially constructed (culturally invented) category that is used to oppress and exploit people of colour. Critical race theorists hold that racism is inherent in the law and legal institutions of the United States insofar as they function to create and maintain social, economic, and political inequalities between whites and nonwhites, especially African Americans. Critical race theorists are generally dedicated to applying their understanding of the institutional or structural nature of racism to the concrete (if distant) goal of eliminating all race-based and other unjust hierarchies.*

That is the best definition of CRT I have found, and I have no problem with its exploration in school.

From an article regarding a local board meeting that I watched. It’s the dismissive attitude of the board that gets parents angry. Parents take the time to come prepared with proof of CRT teachings in their own school district, have to jam their proof and views into 2-3 minutes, are monitored by board attorneys, only to be made to feel like they wasted their time. Excerpts from article:Two speakers asked the Board to examine the material used in WCASD that they said “vilified police officers.” One of those two District residents also expressed dismay at the Board’s responses to parents who oppose Critical Race Theory, calling the Board’s attitude to CRT “divisive and demeaning.” The Board approved Policy changes related to how meetings will be conducted, which will be reported in detail when the document is obtained by Patch.He was not the only one to speak during the non-agenda-related comment time about Critical Race Theory. It’s a topic that has brought contention to school board meetings nationwide as some parents insist curriculum and teacher training are forms of Marxism. Some CRT opponents argue it is a view of history that casts American history as one of white oppression and is anti-American.

‘This is domestic terrorism’: Philadelphia GOP commissioner details MAGA death threats against his kids

i’m still waiting and waiting and waiting for the doj to do something——ANYTHING!!!

After reading these comments it is easy to understand how so many contentious opinions can boil over in school board meetings. Can’t anyone get along anymore? Try to find good vs. hatred.

Run for your life, Mama bears are loose. Boy are they p*** off.

“Concerned parents” don’t follow board members and teachers out to their cars and say “we know where you live” and other threats.

What would Lisa do if she received death threats? Call Kyle Rittenhouse?

There are “concerned parents” starting brawls and sending death threats to school board members. Of course the Justice Dept is involved at that point.

Some people believe that the earth is flat. Some believe that the moon landing was staged. Some people believe that the holocaust did not happen. Some believe that dinosaurs did not exist because they were not mentioned in the Bible. We have to teach in the schools the facts that have been determined. We can’t cater to everyone’s personal beliefs. That is chaos.

Many terrorists are concerned parents. I’m sure the religious leaders in the Middle East (much like the ones here do with conservatives) convinced the 9/11 terrorists that they were acting for the good of their families as well. Still doesn’t excuse attacking and threatening other people out of your own gas lit fears.
