Steve Nuzum: The Gaslighting of Teachers Continues - Network For Public Education

To pretend, now, that the “Freedom Caucus” and similar political groups want to protect children from “indoctrination,” and that the only way to do so is by adopting canned language and ideas from highly partisan political organizations like the Heritage Foundation, National Association of Scholars, and self-professed culture warriors like Christopher Rufo, is either deliberate falsehood or embarrassing ignorance. Actually, this being the great state of South Carolina, it could be both.For me, the most wearying thing in life is listening to lies and being asked or required to pretend that they aren’t lies. Maybe it’s a personal flaw, maybe it’s a teacher superpower, but probably it’s something in between, like a curse in a Greek myth.
