Tennessee school board recently voted to ban Art Spiegelman's “Maus,”

The 10-member board in McMinn County chose to remove “Maus” from its eighth-grade language arts curriculum, citing its profanity and nudity.

But don’t put a trans person in an adult prison and the usual suspects have a meltdown

But snitch lines for accountability for teachers is fine they’re the enemy indoctrinating conservatives youth

But don’t you dare question that heroic Cop who gunned down that unarmed person

I'm ok with holding teachers and school administrators accountable at this point...if you've ever dealt with them you'd know that lack of accountability among teachers and administrators is a serious issue...they think of themselves, in many cases, as their own little kingdoms

if they aren't doing anything wrong they shouldn't have anything to worry about?..right? that's what were always told in other areas

this is obviously true. same
with teachers having no reason to oppose their lessons being available for parents ( the paying customer) to see.

you’re opposed to parents having the ability to express concern about what’s being taught by teachers they pay for?

you’re all saying teachers should have zero accountability?

McCarty hurt people who weren’t doing anything wrong.

why do you assume that teachers ( who have a pretty good union last time i checked) would be punished if parents made baseless accusations?

tenured teachers are almost impossible to fire.

looks like your side is upset that light is finally being shed in all this.
