What Happened To America’s Education?, Part 3
By Pastor Roger Anghis
June 25, 2023
There is nothing that can surprise me about what is going on with our education system.
Most of what we see is nothing but the drag-queen shows that are popping up around the country as of late. Keep in mind kind of people were left in the shadows and were not part of main-ream media’
There was a time when of the kind this trash was kept from mainstream but today it seems as if anything goes, A Christian school teacher is suing because she was fired because she refused to use a child’s preferred pronouns. There used to be a time when the teachers controlled the classroom but I guess the students have that right no now.
Rebeca F. Rothstein, who is a Maryland teacher at North Bethesda Middle School, went on a Marxist rant on TikTok bragging about “indoctrinating” her students and calling for an urgent fight against capitalism, asserting that “Revolutions involve violence.”
The radical leftist teacher in the Montgomery County School District described herself as “proud as f*** to be liberal” on her since-deleted TikTok account. Once Fox News reached out to her for comment, her account with over 220,000 followers vanished on Monday.
She devoutly believes that teachers should use their classrooms to turn kids into anti-racist activists.
“As a teacher, I wish we could do more with our students like teach anti-racism and how to be kind people. Does anyone else feel like… we can skip the math, skip the science, like we’ll do that next year. Maybe this year we focus on teaching our youth how to be anti-racist,” she suggested on TikTok.
The teacher wrote about providing “Marxist literature” to students. She also made the comment, “F*** capitalism” and noted at one point that she was “tired after a long day of indoctrination had to un-brainwash myself from capitalism in order to fall in love with socialism and communism,” she disturbingly asserted. “If everyone had the same amount of money, then money wouldn’t be worth anything.”
To see just where education is going all we have to do is to look at some people see the future un America.[3]
“Capitalism must go,” Rothstein argued. She also remarked in that video, “revolutions involve violence.” The background music advised, “Ain’t nothing wrong with that.”
As for the school district, according to Fox News, they refused to comment on the teacher’s Marxist leanings or her desire to incite a violent revolution.
Even worse, this isn’t the first time that Rothstein has advocated for violent behavior.
The teacher commented on the pro-Black Lives Matter riots, “There are so many a******* in my comments saying, ‘What about all the burning of the buildings, and the looting and the rioting?’ Why do you care more about buildings than human lives? It’s like you’re stomping around, being like, ‘All buildings matter.’ No, no, they don’t. And the fact that you don’t understand where the rage is coming from, why there is so much rage of burning buildings, that’s the exact problem.”
“I am f***ing angry, and it’s weird as f*** that you’re not. When I’m talking about the patriarchy or racism or police brutality, why the f*** would you not be angry?” she demanded, according to Fox News.
Then she went on to address getting pregnant and the inherent responsibility it brings, raging that “boys should get vasectomies at birth, or when it is safe to do so… Why is preventing pregnancy just on the woman?”[4]
This is the state of today’s education. There is no longer a concern for decorum. We have ignored the need for actual education. A major problem students face is the rising crime in Baltimore. Like the rising crime in so many other Democrat-controlled cities, Baltimore’s crime rate continues to spin out of control. In 2019, for instance, Baltimore suffered its highest murder rate since 1993.
Crime is so rampant that even TV shows have been forced to shut down filming because conditions became too dangerous for crew members.
The report on the Augusta Fells Savage student noted that Tiffany France’s 17-year-old son only passed three classes in four years and had a 0.13 grade point average. That isn’t enough to graduate, and the student will end up back in 9th grade starting next school year, France said.[4]
Culture seems to be the main subject in schools these days. Got to have the right shoes, the right the right phone, a trendy hoddie, all the real important things we need to make the right impression. Education has become secondary.
California gym teacher Jessica Tapia was fired from Jurupa United School District as of January 31, according to Fox News, which obtained and reviewed a copy of her termination notice signed by David Brooks, an assistant superintendent who oversees the human resources department.
“Based on your religious beliefs, you cannot be dishonest with parents,” the notice, signed by Brooks, openly states as a reason for firing her. “If asked about a student’s gender identity by a parent, you cannot refer the parent to a counselor, defer the inquiry and suggest they speak with a student.”
The transgender-affirming policy affects more than 2,000 teachers and staff members, and 20,000 students, in Riverside County, California.
Tapia, who has filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, is being represented by Pacific Justice Institute in her lawsuit.
“The school wanted her to lie to parents if she ever had a child who was transgender,” PJI attorney Brad Dacus says. “And the parents didn’t know about it.”
That claim from Dacus can hardly be disputed considering Tapia’s termination notice. Farther down in the notice, the assistant superintendent informs Tapia that the school district “cannot accommodate your religious beliefs” which prohibit her from revealing a student’s “gender identity” to a parent or guardian.
Because she is a physical education teacher, Tapia also refused to obey a school district policy that allows biological boys to enter and change clothes in a girls-only locker room, according to Dacus.
“No teacher, with any kind of a reasonable conscience,” Dacus tells AFN, “would ever want to do these kinds of diabolical things.”
What has become of our schools? If this is what we have we need to redo all of it.
