Current Events > NC Republican suggests teachers are assigning pornographic material

(+) Yeah! (+)

https://bit.ly/3n6r6WJ

Offering no evidence that such materials are being taught, the chairman of the Forsyth County Republican Party advised parents in a newsletter on Friday to call the police on teachers if they believe their children have been assigned pornographic or perverse reading material.
Do not call your school board representatives and dont descend upon school board meetings like weve done before. Call the police, Ken Raymond wrote in the newsletter, Republican Rundown. Call the police and report that the teacher, the principal, and the entire school administration is distributing obscene material to minors.

The newsletter included the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools logo above the numbers 9-1-1 Emergency!!!, as well as falsehoods and insinuations about classroom material taught in the school district.

He laid out a scenario of school administrators forced to explain why they were in handcuffs.
Can you imagine their shame and embarrassment when they try to explain why they were arrested to the public? This could do it. This could break them, Raymond wrote.

School board member Alex Bohannon, a Democrat, called Raymonds suggestion an insult to the 6,500 employees of Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools.

This is unbecoming of what a leader should be, particularly when, across the state and nationally, educators are in a very tough spot right now. Particularly in this state, we have a problem with retaining teachers and people are leaving the profession, Bohannon said. Theyre tired, so when you have these baseless accusations that seem to come from left field that arent grounded in fact, its disappointing.

Dana Caudill Jones, a Republican who has been on the school board since 2015, said she is not aware of any pornographic or sexually explicit material being taught in the local school district.
If a parent knows (about such material), let us know, said Caudill Jones. And we will definitely make sure that it is not done.
During her tenure on the board, some parents have objected to certain books being taught and teachers have worked to find alternative books for those students to read, she said.
Teachers work with parents around those things, Caudill Jones said.

Raymond, who occasionally speaks during the public comments portion of school board meetings, credited Candace Owen, a right-wing media personality, with coming up with the idea to report teachers to the police.

Val Young, the president of the Forsyth County Association of Educators, called Raymonds comments a distraction that will further divide parents and the school system.

This is no part of any curriculum Ive ever been a part of, Young said. Whats the end game for bringing this up? I can assure you that in school buildings, teachers are teaching the curriculum written by the state and giving good sound instruction instead of things we dont want our children to know about anyway.

Raymond said that concerned parents have been locked in fierce combat with local school boards for the hearts and minds of their own children.

And there is clear evidence that leftist school board members are beginning to break under the pressure coming from parents. But theyre holding their ground, he said. The leftist board members are determined to spoon feed our children a steady diet of hatred, pornography and sexually explicit material whether the parents like it or not.

Raymond also falsely claimed that local school officials have agreed to teach the most self-destructive and hateful behavior possible through Critical Race Theory.

The school district has said on multiple occasions that it does not teach Critical Race Theory, an academic concept taught in college-level courses. CRT examines how race and racism have been embedded in such institutions as the criminal justice system, the housing market, health care and education.

Along with masking mandates, CRT has become a flashpoint in school board meetings across the country, with some school board members saying they have been violently threatened.

Local school board meetings have been mostly subdued, though school board chairperson Malishai Woodbury asked for someone to be escorted from a recent meeting after he refused to wear a mask.

Raymonds suggestion that parents report teachers and administrators to police comes days after Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson [Antifar's note: look into this guy, hoo boy] condemned schools in a taped message for exposing students to books on homosexuality and transgenderism. He has also said that schools are shoving this homosexuality garbage down their throats.

One of the books Robinson derided is George, the story of a 10-year old transgender girl. The school district has five copies of the book.

The book is on the states approved list for grades 4 and up, school spokesman Brent Campbell said earlier this week. It is not something that is used in any lesson, and it is not a required reading. It is a title students can check out of the collection if they are interested and of the appropriate rated age. This book is also available to students statewide as part of the states digital library collection. Any student can access it online there.

because, you see, Republicans don't really need or care about that pesky little thing called "evidence". they live in their own reality where the facts are made up and that's all that matters.

this trend of Republicans making outlandish claims, backing them with zero evidence AND being supported for doing so is deeply disturbing.

this state has complete brain rot when it comes to teachers. NC teachers are worse paid and get worse benefits than both neighboring states, and they're constantly subject to stupid shit like this

This is 100% what the other asshole is referring to. Robinson is an absolute piece of shit who recently referred to homosexuals and transgenders as filth.

I know this should not be taken lightly, but anti-gay rants that obliviously use any variation of the phrase 'shoving down our throats' will never not be funny.

Can't really have a republican system without enforcing ignorance, case in point.

@BeyondWalls

Why are tagging me? I use to live in NC. Not anymore. Nothing I can do about this.

The party of projection is sounding on this guy. I wonder how big his personal porn collection is.

Nothing says free speech anti-government like the government fabricating lies and telling you to rat people out to them if they say unapproved things.

I got my best spank bank material from the homework assigned by Mrs. Metz in 3rd grade.

lol my conservative friend was talking to me a couple weeks ago about how schools are having kids read sexual stuff now, I didnt bother looking into it because I figured it was just another thing he saw shared without looking into it

he used to ask me to fact check stuff for him a year or so ago cause he works a lot and didnt have time to dig for stuff but for some reason* he stopped asking

*literally everything was bullshit

and damn I think I just realized why so many conservatives fall for obvious bullshit without looking into it. Arent they the types to boast about how they work 80 hour weeks and everyone else is just lazy? Theyre clearly too damn tired to look into it themselves and their brain is fried from sleep deprivation so its easier for that stuff to stick in their mind

anyway I recall reading a book in 6th grade about some girl who lives with a pack of wolves and at some point in the book theres a flashback where shes raped by some guy

---

Dammit why'd they have to wait till now to assign porn in school?

---

This is the kind of shit that is going to get people killed.
