"Not rehired" for "teaching politics": One teacher's story

February 18, 2023

I personally see no real point of teaching if the material is watered-down and sanitized, if I can’t discuss things like media literacy, critical thinking, and political issues as a means of hitting the “education standards” in my classroom.

The difference with school communities, just looking at a normal mainstream school community, what I perceive is a community where there's lots of external goals. You've got five stickers for being great. You've got three they call them smiley faces or they have a name for something. So there's an external reward for being good. For me, it's just like, "Eh-eh." It's such a fundamentally wrong thing in a community to have that as your basis of if you're good or bad.
