Blog by a North Carolina Conservative Teacher

May 11th, 2010


I am a seasoned teacher in a public school system in North Carolina. Unlike most of my peers, I am also a Christian, a Conservative, pro-Capitalist and a Republican. While I respect his position, President Obama is the most radical president this country has ever seen. He is destroying America right before our eyes. Like many of us, I am frustrated that there is so little we can do about it except vote, which feels grossly inadequate in the scope of things and how quickly he is moving. He and his “team” are ALL following Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” to the letter. They aren’t even creative about it!



Our school systems need to be over-hauled. I see many hard-working educators all around me—but there are the few who are lazy and/or don’t care about the students, and there is very little that can be done to get rid of them. Unfortunately, all we hear about on the news are the bad ones. Not the ones (I dare say like me) who lose sleep over their students. Many of us purchase paper, pencils, supplies–even clothes and food–for them when they don’t have any. Yet, many of us barely make enough money to pay our own bills.



Education has changed tremendously over the past several years. Teachers used to be respected members of society. I feel now like we are the black sheep of the family. Parents are often quick to blame us for their children’s problems. I know 99% of you are wonderful caring parents; I am not talking about you! But it was just a few years ago that we worried about whether or not children knew their multiplication tables, or if girls should be allowed to call boys. Now in middle school–the level at which I teach–we are worried about provocative clothing on young girls, pregnancy (even in 7th grade or below), “sexting,” bullying (much of it now cyber), drugs (not just street drugs, but what your kids get out of your medicine cabinet), choking games, and “cutting” (and I don’t mean from class) just to name a few things we deal with on a daily basis. In addition to thsi, we are expected to teach students who don’t speak English, or the ever-increasing pressure to get kids to pass unrealistic end-of-year tests which they “re-norm” almost every year making them more and more difficult to pass.



Please just know that not ALL teachers are liberal mindless “sheeple” who have been indoctrinated by the left-leaning Politically Correct ideaology that they get off of the “lame-stream media.” I don’t even socialize with any of the teachers I work with because we are on opposite ends of the political spectrum. They spout their liberal ideas all day long, drooling with their eyes glazed over with joy that Obama is president and they will be getting “free” healthcare—yet I cannot say one word for fear it could cost me my job because I am a Conservative. I wish I could say I was lying, but I am not.



And our colleges? They are filled with such ultra-left-wing liberal professors that unless you have grounded your children in strong Judeo-Christian and/or Conservative values, your children will come out of college so brainwashed in liberal and socialist anti-military ideologies that you won’t even recoginize them.



Stand up for your rights when liberal teachers try to indoctrinate your children! You as parents have all the rights—me, as a teacher—I have none, so I have to remain silent or lose my job. All I can do is refuse to participate in their idiocy, which I do. Just remember there are a few of us out there who think like you! God bless America!
