a Georgia teacher is being shitcanned because a single parent made an explicitly homophobic complaint https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/07/05/georgia-teacher-termination-gender-identity-maga-desantis-trump/

Have they interviewed the parent?

Super weird that FIRE doesn’t have any articles about her!

Since when do parents have a say in education system? If this continues, one parent could say that evolution or Big Bang is divisive

they won't be happy until public education is gone and everyone just gets chick tracts with coloring pages to hand to the kids to do during their lunch break at the meatpacking plant

The problem with the way this is applied is that “divisive concepts” is explicitly defined in GA statute and related to race. The right wing’s bigotry has moved faster than they have been able to legislate to enshrine it in law.

"We think it’s reasonable to debate whether parents of fifth-graders deserve a heads-up on a lesson about a book like this." I hate WaPo

Lmao I grew up in this school district. When I was in 7th or 8th grade they put “evolution is just a theory” stickers in all the biology textbooks district wide. They’re a fucking joke.

Math is divisive. Checkmate, conservatives.

A teacher who mentions that gay people exist is more likely to get fired than a cop who shoots an unarmed kid.

Why use the clunky term “anti-woke” when the word “bigot” is right there?
