You Have GOT to be Kidding Me

What sort of idiots do we have teaching our children in public school systems? Where has the backbone gone among educators these days? What ever happened to exposing children to a wide range of ideas in elementary and secondary education to foster critical thinking? What sort of leadership are we going to have in 20 or 30 years if the stuff I've seen on the internet lately is any example of the sort of individuals guiding our children in their formative years? Don't our children deserve better than this???

A Dallas-are art teacher of 28 years was reprimanded and recommended for non-renewal after a parent complained to administrators that her daughter had seen a nude sculpture on a field trip to the Dallas Museum of Art. The parents had all signed consents for their children to attend.

Has no one ever heard of private education? You don't want your child exposed to fine art, send them to a Christian school where they paste a fig leaf over David's bits. But I want to know the bulk of America's kids are gaining exposure to all sorts of ideas and viewpoints in the education my tax dollars provide.

Assholes! I am surrounded by assholes!

Can you tell I'm a little burned up about this topic lately?
