There Is No Point In Becoming A Teacher Anymore [View all]

There really is not point in becoming a teacher any more. You will be just working a temp job to be thrown out as soon as your students do not pass a test. You will be blamed and pilloried for being scum. You will most likely have to teach the children of stupid ass Republican parent or worse fundy nutzies who believe that dinosaurs were pets of Adam and Eve.

You will have to agree to strip search of your life and sign a morals contract that you will be celibate until you are married. You will have to suffer interviews of religious entities in the community to make sure that your beliefs are pure. And you will have to teach to a prescribed curriculum.

When I studied to get a teacher certificate it was amazing how many rules teacher had to follow at earlier times in our country. They were just as draconian as what I just mentioned. In the good old days teachers had to do their jobs with cultural iron shackles on them. The moral codes required of them were absolutely terrible. And the consequences were sadistic and cruel if you broke any rule.

The GOP is raping our school system so they can replace it with a white supremacist religious indoctrinating system. the don'g give a damn about freedom or the individual. All they want is complete and total domination like the Taliban had in Afghanistan.
