I don't think firing these teachers is enough anymore. I think society needs to make an example out of them, and jail them for a good couple of years.

>but Alyx that's tyrannical!!!
Yeah, I don't care. It was nice and funny for a while when we discovered a really bad and toxic teacher, and then they'd get fired. But it stopped being funny.
And by the time we find each individual teacher that behaves like this, they will already have created too much damage to too many kids. If we don't scare them shitless real fast, we're not gonna stop this. And since they don't fear god, and only fear the state, then prison time it is. Convict them for child abuse.

When I get fired, I'll try getting a job as a programming teacher.

This shit has to end. Until we start fixing kids, this the entire globohomoed world will continue to collapse.

I still remember how my biology teacher handled a delicate problem, how well she avoided pushing her personal beliefs on us.
See, there was an issue that in biology class we were taught evolution, and we also had a religion class that taught us Christianity. So of course a kid eventually asked: so who's right, science or religion?
Here's what our biology teacher told us: "my duty as your biology teacher is to teach evolution. The duty of the religion teacher is to teach you about god. I can't tell you who's right. That's for you to decide. I'm only doing my duty to teach what is in the school curriculum."
That's how a teacher is supposed to approach anything close to being political in nature. Anything less, they get fired. And when they act like this chemistry teacher acts, jail time.

This is more complex than objectivity in teaching.

I guess the attitude you describe is fine when the students are above a certain age when they can actually make that judgement, or defer it. When you're 7 or even 12, you can't consolidate this in your head. That's when parents should weigh in. And by that I don't mean come into the classroom and tell the teacher what to say/do or publicly shame the teacher. Just help their kids hold more than one thought in their heads at the same time without them exploding. Or be able to sit with an unresolved issue until they're ready to properly deal with it. I'd expect religious parents to be less good at this.

Just to clarify, I don't condone teachers actually PUSHING their beliefs on the kids like in the OP.
@alyx @sjw you at least need to remove their teaching license forever.
@alyx @sjw tbh tho, what is more tyrannical? this, or literally not allowing you to home school your kids instead?

@Gerfand @sjw@neckbeard.xyz
The "no home school" is not that bad imo, IF you are allowed school choice, and you can check on what your kids are being taught.

@alyx @sjw I disagree there, because you still can't remove your kids from the system.
its like "yeah I know this guy is corrupt bastard that will sell my country to china, and this other guy is a corrupt bastard that will sell my country to Israel" you don't have a option that is neither

@Gerfand @sjw@neckbeard.xyz
As long as you have school choice, the free market would bring about affordable private schools that cater to your needs.

@alyx @sjw the problem tho, is it bringing teachers that are not retarded?

@Gerfand @sjw@neckbeard.xyz
If that's what the market demands, then yes.
