I attended the Brooks town hall yesterday and DS did an great job answering questions regarding all of the hot button topics like the issues daycares are having with the $10 a day program making them wait 45 days for payment and of course the most recent announcement regarding transgender policies. Many other questions were asked and answered politely and respectfully until 2 people in the room made statements, the first started off with jeering snotty remarks about how DS was all teary eyed and supportive in 2014 but not now and why she chose now to bring forward this legislation empowering parents rights. DS answered her questions respectfully and the participant sneered back with another personal jab. A blue and pink haired 20 something teacher then stands up asserting that school is the only safe place for “trans” kids to express themselves as home and parents weren’t safe. DS reiterated that parents and adult family members are the ones who love their children and have their best interests at heart and teachers are passers by in the grand scheme of things. This blue haired teacher then went on to say she spends the majority of the day with the kids (not true) and she takes her “parental rights” in the absence of the parent seriously. She then went on to tell the crowd how she came from an emotionally abusive home and family and believed families were not safe for kids, the teachers were the saviors basically and even child protective services didn’t care.
This “teacher” is so emotionally and socially damaged she should NEVER be around vulnerable children, she needs mental health help to get herself sorted out before ever being allowed to teach.
These people know nothing about children and human development nor will they be the ones picking up the pieces when the children they have damaged are sorting through the life altering mistakes they are encouraged to make by these sick individuals. They don’t read past the headlines by the state media and hear the truth and common sense in what has been put forward by DS and believe parents should have no say in their child’s life choices but they will NOT be the ones dealing with the fallout, that’s falls on the parent, child and the family.
These influencers make me absolutely sick to my stomach and THEY need to be stopped before they do anymore damage to our kids and our society.
I dealt with these teacher/professionals devaluing parental rights bullshit with my kids, in my profession as an Early Childhood educator and administrator and I will continue to fight against these demons to protect children and families.
