If you want to know what more than a few teachers think of the parents who pay teacher salaries through taxes, a former “technology specialist” in Texas explained in a snide poem that mocked them.
The leftist called them “bigots” at a meeting of the Leander school board because they oppose pornographic books that promote sodomy. She also warned that parents would not be permitted to control what kids read.
Yet the Dr.-Seuss-like doggerel also demonstrates that the war over what’s taught in public schools won’t be an easy one for parents to win.
Schools across the country are hiring transvestite and homosexual teachers who are “coming out” to students, some of them in preschool. Some crossdress in class.
“Kooks”
The nutbar teacher, formerly an “instructional technology specialist” at a middle school, is Krista Tyler, Fox News reported. She attacked concerned parents on December 16 after they objected to sexually explicit books.
The poem isn’t exactly a work of genius, even for something trying to imitate Dr. Seuss, a low-brow leftist who used his books to brainwash kids.
Wrote Tyler:
Everyone in Leander liked reading a lot
but some evangelicals in Leader did not
These kooks hated reading, the whole reading season
Please don’t ask why, no one quite knows the reason.
It could be perhaps critical thinking causes fright.
It could be their heads aren’t screwed on just right.
But whatever the reason, their brains or their fright
They can’t follow policy in plain black and white.
These bigots don’t get to choose for us, that’s clear
Then how, I am wondering, did we even get here?
They growl at our meetings, all hawing and humming,
“We must stop this indoctrination from coming!”
They’ve come for the books and the bonds and what for?
Their kids don’t even attend Leander schools anymore.
Bring back our books, maintain decorum, good grief.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a meeting in peace?
The books in question were Lawn Boy, which Amazon describes as a “vibrant coming-of-age novel and a sharp social commentary on class … a painfully honest portrait of one young man’s struggle to overcome the hand he’s been dealt in life and reach for his dreams.”
In fact, the book contains underage homosexual filth and propaganda.
A second book is Gender Queer. The School Library Journal bills it as a “great resource for those who identify as nonbinary or asexual as well as for those who know someone who identifies that way and wish to better understand.”
But again, it’s homosexual filth that contains “photos of sexual acts between a boy and a man,” Fox reported.
Father of four Dustin Clark told Fox why parents are furious:
I’m disgusted and disheartened that there are teachers in our school district who think it is OK to mock parents for their religious beliefs, and for demanding that children not have access to books in the library or classroom that have pornographic illustrations and graphic descriptions of sex acts.
Tyler, meanwhile, hastened to explain that she “was not an employee of any school district at the time of this statement and is a fellow parent in Leander.”
She said she does not represent a “any school district” and that her limp verse “attack on Christianity.”
The district yanked 11 sexually inappropriate books a few weeks ago.
Orlando Salinas told Fox that parents are not attending school-board meeting to be politically disputatious:
Parents such as myself, are increasingly participating in school board meetings because we see firsthand the detrimental effects that “woke-ism” has had on our schools and our children. In Round Rock, 8% of African American students and 11% of Hispanic students perform math on grade level, according to the 2021 STARR Performance data. We parents are attending these meetings to challenge the status quo because the status quo is not working for our students.
Maybe black and Hispanics would receive better math grades if the school were more worried about addition and subtraction than they were about “gender queers.” That aside, books are the least problem in some schools.
Crazy Teachers
Libs of Tik Tok frequently posts videos of crackpot teachers who “come out” to students or cross-dress in class. The abuse is confessed openly and often.
“To the parents who refused to educate their children on queerness, I am an openly non-binary trans pre-school teacher,” one says. “I talk to my students about pronouns, transness, gender expression and sexuality.
Says another:
I start conversations about gender and sexuality with my students.… For these kids to know that a queer adult exists, to know know the trans people exist and are normal, is life changing to them. They need someone to start these conversations because they don’t know they have the permission to ask me.
“My admin is actually very OK with me wearing heels,” another says:
I’m coming to school in drag sometimes. I used to put on makeup, but now it’s too early in the morning, so that’s not happening anymore. But like, yeah, they’re pretty cool with it. They just think I’m making a safe place for my kids.
But the transvestite also confesses the truth: “I’m here to recruit you.”
