So angry right now. My eldest has worked at Chick Fil-A for a year, through every kind of weather she's stood outside wearing a mask, all day, and now that the mandate is gone in the state, and it's up to each employer, her franchise manager is making them wear masks outdoors 1/
...unless they prove they're vaccinated. I kept telling her to ask when that was ending, she was "afraid" if angering her boss, so I called corporate to ask about their policy. They said it is NOT their policy that employees wear them outdoors anymore, only to have them 2/
in case a customer asks them to put on on (what asshole would do that?!). So I tell my kid the good news. What does she do? Nothing. She does nothing. She's so terrified of getting in trouble, she wore the mask all day again! She says "they would have told me." 3/
I tell her not necessarily. Maybe they didn't get the memo from Corp, maybe they're going rogue mask Nazi because it's a franchise. Maybe she missed the email about the change, and she said she doesn't want to start a fight with her managers, until 4/
someone tells her she can take it off. I have failed my daughter. How did this happen? How did it take only one year of this lunacy to turn my child into a bleating sheep! They have help wanted signs everywhere, she has leverage, she could leave! She won't say a word. 5/
She went from complaining about it daily to angry at ME for suggesting she just not wear it and see what happens. I can't even protect my own kids from the cult of conformity out there. I'm so angry I can't even breathe. /end
Please everyone understand I'm not angry at her. She's a kid. I'm angry at the manipulators in her midst who are taking advantage of her youth and eagerness to please to pressure her to do something that isn't good for her; these are the people teaching kids conformity is good.

Parents: when your schools tell you they're gonna teach x or y because it is an 'inertial part' of achieving some worthy goal in your child's education, ask them "How do you know?" Demand quantitative research, and think it through; does it pass the smell test?1/
Does identifying "identities" and their intersections on a hierarchy of power or powerlessness seem like it leads to feeling safe and secure? Does reflecting on negative emotions and pushing kids to have difficult conversations about things they cannot change build resilience?2/
Make your schools start with their stated GOAL (make sure you think those are worthy btw, don't just accept them as 'good' b/c school chose them), and think to yourself: is this how I'd go about it with my kid? Would this work for ME? If my boss did this to me, would it be OK?3/

Remember gratitude? It's 100% missing from the curriculum in our schools. They want kids to feel so many feelings. They want them to wear those feelings on their sleeve (literally, with colored bracelets in some cases), but they're super narrow: "Happy, sad, angry, anxious," 1/
what about "grateful," and shouldn't that be one they're not just asked to "reflect" on, or announce, but ENCOURAGED to feel, each day? Imagine if kids were encouraged to keep gratitude journals instead of sharing and expressing all their fears and anxieties and frustrations?2/
But nah, can't have them being content, and gratitude creates contentment with what you have, or at least appreciation for it. Can't turn out the next wave of angry activists if they're "content" or self-reflective about all the good in their live. /END

Pro-tip: in America, you have the right to be wrong, so long as it doesn't violate the rights of others. You have the right to be racist, to hold idiotic beliefs that have no basis in reality, etc. Some say "but you have no right to abuse your kids," and I agree, but...1/
It's a long way from "That's stupid and I hate it" to "that's abuse" LEGALLY. Morally? Ethically? Philosophically? Sure. But since when did the law mirror any of those? So in our zeal to fight the noxious worldview of "critical social justice" by ALL its names, and branches 2/
we have to be careful we don't violate the very rights we're trying to preserve and protect. Every individual has the same political power in this country (or is supposed to); that's what protects us from idiots and zealots. Strip that from them, we strip it from ourselves. 3/

Your boss demands you put your pronouns in your email sig and mandates you go to DEI training to "bankrupt your whiteness."
Your next move:
Quietly look for new unwoke job
Be cheeky with pronouns, argue with trainer

How megalomaniacal are "educators" that they believe they and they alone control student outcomes? That's what they're saying when they obsessively analyze themselves and attribute power to their "biases" to stop children from learning. 1/
Gee, you'd think they'd take a peek at how their *actions* (or inaction) interferes with student achievement, but no. Must be all those subconscious biases and "whiteness." Anything to make their guilt "virtuous," something easier to atone for. 2/
Profess guilt for something they didn't know about (poor babies), point fingers at anyone who won't join them in their sick catechism (earning more absolution in the process), and they get to cover up their actual misdeeds some more.3/

It's baffling to me that public employees -- public school TEACHERS especially -- can be so obvious they intend to subvert the U.S. Constitution and the values and laws enshrined therein, and get away with it. They're not just getting away with it either 1/
Teachers are being defended, and covered for, by elected officials who swore an OATH to "preserve, protect, and DEFEND the constitution of the United States of America!" 2/
Teachers are doing also conducting their Marxian revolution using impressionable children who are COMPELLED to sit and listen to them by the same gov't compelling their parents to pay for the "privilege" of having their kids shamed, abused, lied to, and EXPLOITED. 3/
