God forbid there is transparency to parents regarding their children’s education.
The indoctrination by fake educators needs a light shined on their ways.
J C B – Parents elect individuals from their communities to represent them on the local school boards, where your highly-desired transparency exists in the form of open meetings where parents can question decisions about what is – or is not – taught in the classroom. What Rep. Cook wants to do is ensure only one perspective is taught to Hoosier kids – a perspective rooted in the early 20th century where whites were in charge and minorities were discriminated against. Now, a century later, it is time for facts to be taught about our history, blemishes and all.
Oh, so teaching the kids to be woke is key.
Got it.
Maybe there is more to education than just the subject of history.
Math, science, etc could be critical to keeping up with the rest of the world. Pretty sure zero accountability for teachers has left us in the dust competitively…
Brent, if you think the school boards provide enough transparency and information to parents on what’s actually going on in the school, you are very wrong. Only the kids and teachers truly know, and if your kids are like many, the parents can barely get them to tell them what they did in school each day.
“Woke” is a synonym for “alert.” I guess some parents don’t want their kids to be alert. If parents can’t communicate with their kids about what’s going on in their classes, that as much on the parents as anyone else. Too many parents want schools to babysit their kids all day long, and do not take an interest in or care about their kid’s education. Seems the only time parents show up at a school board meeting is when Trumpists spread misinformation about what is being taught (i.e., “critical race theory” is not taught in elementary or secondary schools – it is a subject in college). That help’s explain why some in the state legislature want candidates for school boards to declare their political affiliation. It’ll make it easier to identify and cancel any with a “D” behind their name. If everyone is so distrusting of public education, they need to pay for private education or, better yet, home school their kids so they are really protected from the real world.
I see IBJ’s own Marshawn Woolley, professional victim, is featured. What a shock….
@JCB – I’m confused what you are upset about. That we aren’t teaching our kids enough about math, science, etc.? Do you think we should invest more in our public schools so that we can keep up competitively with the rest of the world? That would require additional tax revenue from people in the state, investing in our community – which I think is a great idea!
If you have concerns about what your kids are learning in school, you can talk to their teachers, the school board, elected local officials – I promise you that educators are in the business because they love kids, teaching, educating, etc., and want to do best for the kids. There isn’t much money/power, etc. in teaching, obviously, and there isn’t an evil “WOKE” (whatever that means) power that all the teachers of the world are secretly a part of.
The ramifications of this proposed legislation are likely to be more destructive than the problem they are trying to solve.
Hey, don’t make my white kid feel uncomfortable!
Nailed it
Indiana public entities are subject to … “sunshine laws”. Minutes of meetings and all records are owned by and available to citizens because it is taxpayers that fund the organizations/entities. Education in Indiana accounts for the second largest expenditure category after healthcare in the state budget. It is roughly a 9 billion dollar expenditure funded by taxes. I have confidence that the curriculums that are taught will bear up under the scrutiny of availability to the public. Opposing such transparency raises suspicions that you have something to hide. Nobody expects there will be agreement by everyone that what is taught is best or even appropriate. But transparency and the resulting dialogue and debate about what has value to be taught in public schools can only improve education outcomes. Perhaps education should focus more on what most would agree is important. Demonstrated excellency and proficiency in reading, writing, mathematics, science, language arts, and technology come to mind. The leaders in China focus on such instruction in China, Japan and many other nations. We would do well to keep up.
