The National Educators United group, the epicenter of the indoctrination machine, wants to lock-out school students again because they are worried about Omicron. [Tweet Link] The “teachers” are organizing their Marxist tribe to send protest petitions to various education officials in an effort to avoid returning to school after the holiday break [petition link here]
It’s a tough call on which institutions have lost the most credibility over the past 18 months between the medical institutions, the education institutions or the institutions of the justice system (courts, FBI and DOJ).
To the ordinary American citizen and family, the scale of the ideological corruption amid a multitude of institutions is perhaps the biggest revelation of the past year.
Lazy fascists.
I don’t think they are lazy, this is done on purpose.
All by design. Brandon will be the scapegoat for Barack Hussein.
“You don’t have to do this, Joe”
–Barack Hussein.
The left never sleeps or wakes. They are as relentless as corruption and decay, the sullen riptide of entropy, the treacherous undertow of final darkness. In short, you are both correct.
No. They’re lazy. I’m retired. I know they’re lazy. So glad I’m not swimming upstream from them now.
The left is as lazy as an avalanche of rocks and mud. If you really want to see them rage, make them think. Memes get past their defenses and trigger them in a most satisfying fashion.
I saw a tweet today by a mother in some Virginia school district who posted a letter which all parents received from the head of that district, herself a teacher…or should I say “teacher”.
The letter was so illiterate, so full of grammatical and punctuation errors that this mother, with her daughter, sat down and marked it as if for grading. Then she re-posted it on social media, along with all the professional details of the woman who wrote it.
I imagine that this case is a singular one; and I suspect the daughter learned more from that exercise than she ever has in the school she attends.
Brava for that mother.
I have 2 things to say about that – Ray Ciss! /s
😁…Happy New Year, Baby, El!
Yes, that error-ridden letter was from the Arlington Va education association president. Here’s the kicker – Arlington Public Schools school board now wants to do away with deadline requirements for assignments and other such nonsense I suppose in the name of “equity.” But many teachers are fighting back on that BIGLY, so all is not lost yet…I hope.
THEY ARE LAZY to boot, BUT this is further dumbing down of kids and making them very susceptible to cradle to grave govt handouts….
Two weeks will save millions of lives with a nothing virus.
Great math from educators.
“Two weeks to slow the curve….”
Might as well shut down schools. They successfully shut down education years ago.
Two things:

Walter Williams, Catholics, the Projects, and Schooling for Blacks – Fred On Everything
Something is Wrong Somewhere
Fred Reed June 23, 2016
https://www.unz.com/freed/walter-williams-catholics-the-projects-and-schooling-for-blacks-something-is-wrong-somewhere/
… results of a competency test given to applicants for teaching positions in Pinellas County, Florida (which includes St. Petersburg and Clearwater), cited in Time, June 16, 1980.
To pass this grueling examination, an applicant had to be able to read at the tenth-grade level and do arithmetic at the eighth-grade level.
Though they all held B.A.’s [ !!! ]
— 25 percent of the whites and
— 79 percent of the blacks failed.
Similar statistics exist for other places
There ya go – the soft bigotry of low expectations.
When leftists appear to champion a victim group, they don’t want to improve their conditions, but to use their misery and resentment as a generator of political energy. It is not low expectations, they genuinely want to make things worse because it suits their ends.
BLM is a case in point, though the black caucus in congress is not much better. As Thomas Sowell and Candace Owens point out, they have done absolutely nothing to address the devastating, systemic and persistent problems in the black community. In his short single-term, President Trump achieved a remarkable and undeniable improvement just by taking on the low-hanging fruit. If the left really cared, they could have done so much more a long time ago. They don’t care.
Remember ebonics? That was the left’s first pass at allowing failure from a specific demographic. Nothing has changed.
That is so very evident today-The latest in AA: they are rewriting the Big Book of AA that was written in 1935 by Bill Wilson. It has served the fellowship for 86 years helping people recover from alcoholism.
Yep the progressives in NYC & the West Coast have determined that it is too hard to read and understand.
Therefore, it is being re-written-in a simplified verion at a 5th grade level of reading.
The PSA propaganda video they made to convince us of voting for this-strait out of the progressive playbook. It-they are infecting everything! The squishes validate themselves by believing they are helping people.
Bullseye. The public schools have failed us and are children horribly.
They provide an anti-education. Better a zero than a minus.
Pol Pot was the 20th century figure who most accurately reflected the belief system of leftists, and therefore they rarely mention his name.
He strove for a society of agricultural peasants. Climate change is intended/targeted to create just such a society.
Education is an obstacle, not a boon, to the creation of just such a society. Teachers will teach worship of the State, and nothing else. You labor, the State supplies your basic needs. You die. Leftists see this society as “sustainable”. That’s what they mean.
Pol Pot and the other Khmer Rouge tyrants learned their political ideology in the Sorbonne. The killing fields are the end game of Cultural Marxism.
A return to a pre-industrial society is what they intend. Neo-feudalism. A few rich ruling a sea of peasants. A much smaller population. They mean it. They mean it.
No! Schools are where we vote and shut down schools leads to mail in ballots. This shutdown is a warm up for what is coming in the fall. The teacher’s union (aka dem operatives) wants to be able to shut schools at their whim without pushback from the parents so they can continue to do so next fall.
I don’t have school age kids but based on what I’ve seen I think it’s fine to shut them down and start over with an actual education that teaches critical thinking plus the basics instead of this liberal brainwashing that’s been going on.
This makes you wonder who are the children when the adults act like kids.
What’s the danger of a government monopoly. What could go wrong.
Public servants become public tyrants ?
It comes from the professionalization of government and its attendant parasitic bureaucracy. Professionals see their job as telling others what to do rather than doing as they are instructed. They have a very brittle pride based on their credentials and become enraged when challenged. Fauci is the poster-child for this. Historian, David Starkey has a very enlightening talk on this:
They really do act like an abusive, nightmare spouse:
you had better really be scared!
Leftism is the political expression of malignant narcissism.
SNL had a skit where the caveman Steve Martin invented fire.
The caveman Bill Murray murdered him and became the smartest man in the world.
That’s leftism.
This time we will really flatten the curve!!!!! Promise.
Bullwinkle Moose-new spokesman for the teachers union.
Time to end all funding by WE THE PEOPLE for commie propaganda !
The Democrats have corrupted all of Government and each Department. The Teachers have the Union to back them up, so they abuse the system. They are protected if they abuse the children-sexual assaults, etc. They have no moral compass, they think it is ok if pedo books are in the school Library, they also have clubs where they try to change a child’s gender without telling parents.
God help The United States of America.
Masks do not work. Jabs do not work. Lockdowns do not work. Commonsense does work. It is commonsense which is in such a short supply. Slaughterhouse chutes are jammed with flocks of “sheep” with flocks upon flocks waiting their turn.
Teachers don’t work either apparently.
My friend works for the Veterans Administration in D.C> He has not been in the office since April 2020. He walked through the office one day last week. There were 6 people in the whole building. 2 of them were janitors. Life is good 🙂
Unbelievable. The bureaucracy class continues to be rewarded for their devotion. Work from home is an option for some jobs but within these government jobs creates even greater inefficiency than normal, which is saying a LOT.
Hey, its not like they did much productive work, before all this. In fact, the veterans office sync talks about, with 6 people in the bldg, 2 janitors may be setting new productivity records.
Every time I hear someone advocate working from home I know that they have a job in which nothing is actually made.
Yeah, I’ve always complimented my friends in the trades:
“When you leave work at the end of the day, there’s a set of kitchen cabinets there that weren’t there yesterday”
90% of the headquarters employees or more aren’t in the office. It’s also happening with civilian DoD employees on bases around the country.
To be fair, they are not allowed to return. Entry is now by special permission only.
Now why is that? And who gave the orders to apparently permanently clear DC of 95 percent of federal employees?
Why does no one ask what’s going on?
Nobody seems to care that by his own words, Lord & Master Fauci just declared that the Scamdemic is officially OVER.
As Sundance points out in his previous article, they now admit that there is an actual difference between getting hospitalized “with” CCP covid and getting hospitalized “from” CCP covid.
Every illegal mandate and order depends on the number of “cases” which we now know are FALSE stats.
But it doesn’t matter to the tyrants. Not to the Commie education establishment and certainly not to Empress Hochul who rules the Blue Gulag Hell Hole State of New York.
The unelected governor has declared that even more face diapers and injections are needed! The New Year is not getting off to an auspicious start.
https://nypost.com/2021/12/31/hochul-reqs-boosters-for-ny-state-university-students/
You are correct. The problem is with the accounting of it all and the thieves are doing the math, so we are really jammed between a rock and a hard place. How are we to prevent this when blue states control the license that allow doctors to practice with that state, and insurance companies dictate the liability of what a doctor can and cannot say.
This really sucks, and not many legal options to stop it either.
So when do we get Nuremberg Tribunals 2.0 to bring every single one of these people to account? Lockdowns – whose idea? Suppressing treatments for Covid that were proven to work such as ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine – who gave the orders? Sending infected elderly patients back into care homes – whose idea was that?
Here’s another story from the New York Gulag.
Our rulers now ADMIT they are lying. They have to. We are all too stupid to do the right thing.
https://whitehousewire.com/2021/12/30/video-ny-health-commissioner-admits-using-overblown-claims-about-child-covid-hospitalizations-to-scare-parents-into-vaccinating-their-kids-2/?fbclid=IwAR0NBnOnfusxEto_vIEPqjVUzcJFpKyg_k8iwzfcjr3rivI36nNZr_YbwqI
I would say teachers unions have lost big given the results in VA this year but I’m counting on the CDC to to close the gap in 22. The media and FJB had already cemented their spots for least trusted.
It is not the schools they wish to lockdown…
It is the children.
Once the children are locked down…
The “narrative will become “Testing… to be safe”.
Once the children are “Tested”…
Vaccination will be “encouraged”.
Once vaccination is complete…
It will be deemed “successful”
Once deemed “successful”…
The FDA will allow the “Vaccinnes” to be added to the “Children’s Schedule”
Once the “Vaccines” are added to the “Children’s Schedule” the “Vaccine Manufacturers” will have COMPLETE and TOTAL PROTECTION from ALL LIABILITY.
You now see the big picture.
Thanks to RFK for his unfailing and diligence work on this issue.
They successfully derailed the Voucher movement, barely by acceeding to a compromise, of Charter schools.
But that was THEN, THIS is NOW. WE need to martial the anger at the public indoctrination system, the Public Teachers union, etc. AND the exposure of the sick sh*t they are teaching, and make a RENEWED push for VOUCHERS.
In fact, THIS can be one of many pressure points, for EXTREME FEDERALISM.
I KNOW there ARE “good teachers”, some post here of good people, working in a HORRIBLE system.
The Voucher system ALWAYS “made sense”; have the $ follow the student.
IF the Public School IS “good”, it SHOULD be able to compete, if NOT,…SHUT IT DOWN.
My wife just received a call from our neighbor, the neighbor is sick and her son thinks she should get a covid test. My wife asks if she will get one and the neighbor is said she told her son, if I need help I know where to go get help.
She is 78 years old. Tough as nails and will be just fine. Where are the real teachers today anyway?
I heard today from someone just getting over it. She had a rough couple of days as did two young kids. The youngest is still a little sick the other who is old enough to grasp the fear campaign is terrified hes going to die. He had a little respiratory problems early on and now just sniffles. This is the the harm they’re doing to young children.
There are some I know, my daughter being one. Her grade school students adore her science classes…real science.
She started teaching two years ago, her first profession being in the psychology field which she gave up to rear a family. Economic conditions forced her to go back to work. So she was offered the position by the local school where her children are enrolled, even though she had no experience with either teaching or science.
She poured her heart and soul into that job, turning her classroom into a cornucopia of all things science-y. She collected all sorts of lizards of all different sizes, including a bearded dragon which she takes home on the weekends so he won’t be alone. She secured a grant for all the paraphernalia she needed to build eco-friendly homes for them all. And while she was teaching, she took all the state exams which were required and passed with flying colours.
The biggest tribute she has received was from a mother who said her son woke up one morning screaming “It’s Science Day!”. And at the end of only her second year of teaching, my darling girl was named Teacher of the Year.
I’ve posted this story elsewhere on this site at an earlier time. But I felt on this particular thread, it would be evidence that there are still dedicated men and women out there who are working in our schools. Lucky the children who fall under their care.
The government is not working for us. I hereby submit my application for Master of the Obvious 2021.
Government does not work for us. Government has never worked for us.
I hereby announce my candidacy to run against you for the office of Master of the Obvious.
And I claim the latent endorsement of Thomas Hobbes.
I hereby promote you to Captain. All salute Captain Obvious!
“It’s a tough call on which institutions have lost the most credibility over the past 18 months between the medical institutions, the education institutions or the institutions of the justice system (courts, FBI and DOJ).”
It would not be a tough call if one added just one other institution.
(Hint: it is the one with a $750 billion a year budget)
$300 for the RNC, Alex?
Another hint: it is the one that forgot $85 billion worth of equipment in Afghanistan.
And spends most of its time looking under every bed and in every closest for white supremacists engaging in white privilege and white rage.
The 3rd institution that lost all credibility is the “woke” DOD / Military. Led by woke, CRT / Transgender-advocating / Quackcine-mandating top brass, many of whom were appointed by Ozero after the real constitutional MAGA patriot leaders were booted out.
I hate to say it, but the present military leadership has no more credibility with freedom loving Americans.
Where have we seen “TWO WEEKS” before?
“It will all be over by Christmas” was the slogan when the first world war was declared.
The society women went out in their carriages to watch the first Battle of Bull Run. It was promised to be the beginning and end of the Civil War. Uh, no.
I have a 16 year old sophomore granddaughter who will be delighted that the schools will be shut down.
First of all, her permanent substitute history teacher (go figure) is a transgender male with purple hair,
fishnet stockings, black biker boots and long red finger nails. Secondly, in science class they spend their
time watching videos of other countries contributions to society; latest one India. There are rainbow
and black power (the one with the fist) flags up on the classroom walls, social justice attitude and teachings are everywhere. Fights in the hallways between the blacks and blacks or blacks and hispanics; racism against whites, etc. etc. etc. She knows it is a total waste of her time. Let her do her school work at home with zoom video in
peace and quiet.
She is learning almost nothing.
Shes learning progressives are damaged goods.
That is the most depressing thing I have read today. It is stories like this that make me wish I had become a teacher.
It’s stories like this that make me happy that I am not a grandparent.
There IS a Nationwide Charter school, all classes online, and it has been that way always, and started well before Covid.
Much better for online learning, and she can work at her own pace, and if she buckles down, get her Diploma EARLY.
Explain to her that that high school really IS a preparation for what College is, only college is WORSE.
Encourage her to GET A JOB, and WORK, its the best education.
If she FINDS an interest, and NEEDS college to further pursue her interest, THEN she can look at OPTIONS, including online college courses.
Many rewarding, worthwhile careers are available, that don’t require a University degree.
Why do the parents allow her to attend such poo hole of a school? Are you in California?
I am truly sorry for her situation. She is being robbed of not only knowledge but also of the chance to develop a real passion and interest in history, probably one of the most consequential courses needed for the preservation of the world she will be living in, God willing, when she’s fully grown
My 13 yo grand dtr is learning from and *academy* online.. Doing great and loves the schedule.. No worry re friends & socializing… she competes in sports etc… So all is good! There is a cost, so I help with that…
As long as these criminals are paid anyway to do nothing, they will continue to pull these scams. The money needs to follow the child. That’s the next battle.
I want my Property tax money back…PERIOD
Maybe we could start a revolution and subtract the school funding portion of our property taxes. Here in IL we know just what they are clawing from us every 6 months. It’s listed on our bills. If you have more than 80% equity in your house in some states, you can request to have your escrow acct. closed (if you have a mortgage) and pay your own taxes. That way you do have control over what you pay, not your servicer. In IL 70-80% of our property tax bills go to school districts. We have 3 districts that we pay for where we live, elementary, high school and Jr. college. We live in the 2nd largest elementary/high school district(s) in IL.
Thank you Mack for your line an oligarchy of anarchists. I quote it often.
I truly believe this years cold and flu season has been named omicron.
THE GIANT HOAX!
Daughter and grand dtr went to an urgent care with sore throats… Nurse asked if they wanted cv tests.. both said no! Nurse was elated, said that’s all anyone asks for… Both had “run of the mill” colds with sore throat… :):)
Only the laziest, most slovenly, morbidly obese, diseased teachers need worry about catching the C-19 … the rest will survive it easily. And PS … the children don’t pass it on easily.
my wife teaches … and neither she, nor I have any fear whatsoever.
Paid for not working for months/years on end. Hunter Biden could have told them it’s a sweet deal.
Richard Nixon warned, many years ago, about the growing divide between the private and public sector. Leftists go into government. And this new fantastic superstition that government can spend to infinity has erased all connections with reality or sanity for these people.
So many Americans, such as Donald Trump, such as Sean Hannity, have yet to get the memo that radical leftism is the new normal in America’s public service (a laughable term now).
And anarchism is now a mainstream Democrat Party belief. Mainstream. It’s why they support the BLM and Antifa.
We are dealing with neo-savages: people whose standard belief system is founded on tribal and atavistic notions. They cannot be reasoned with. Sooner or later, violence will be the resolution.
Close em ALL DOWN AND FIRE them all!
Then have Parents choose & hire the new teachers as well as administrative staff!
Start with 6-month performance reviews to keep your job, like the rest of us!
If you don’t open up the schools after the holidays and go for remote learning….
Sure….the children can remotely learn….but make the teachers drive into the schools every work day….
”for the children.”
They should make the teachers teach from thier classroom. It
would be safe there would be no kids in the room..no other staff need
be in your room. At least the teacher would have all the classroom
supplies and books necessary to teach.
Eliminate the Federal Department of Education. Return the money and control to the states where it belongs. Reagan tried to do this in the early 1980s but the Democrat congress would not cooperate. Let the states do vouchers, eliminate the unions, etc. And compete with other states, as they were meant to do.
That’s a red, clenched fist in the NEU logo, and a heart. Hearts and minds. Children’s minds. Get it? NEU is a communist “labor” organization, straight out of the 1930s.
We are re-living the inter-war years; the time that brought us the rise of fascism in Europe, the spread of Stalinism throught Russia, and the proliferation of communist sympathizers, toadies, apologists and infiltrators (i.e. traitors) in the U.S.
Let’s review, shall we?
Oh, goodie. ANOTHER 2 weeks to stop the spread.
Their playbook is empty.
My answer to them: Sod off, swampy!
Federalized education.
Federalized healthcare.
Federalized religion.
Federalized elections.
Federalized banking.
Federalized media.
Federalized police.
So much for the restrictions the Constitution put on the federal government.
Mike van…: That’s exactly what has happened.
Keep it up you morons.
Can we say “vouchers”?
(Can YOU teachers even spell “vouchers” for that matter?)
They’ll be more prevalent than Omicron before you know it.
So just keep it up.
Fear porn brought to you by the FJB gang.
People need to understand who the enemy; crooked politicians, crooked judges, communist “useful Idiot” teachers, controlled media and anyone who still calls themselves Democrats.
We will not defeat them with namby-pamby “woe is Me”. All the prayers in the world will not defeat them. If all God needs is more prayers to defeat them…the War is lost.
They want to slow down the spread of herd immunity.
If Omicron is allowed to spread, the need for vaccines and boosters and covid fear will come to an end.
While speeding up herd stupidity.
Omicron bears the same relation to Covid as Cow Pox, the first vaccine, did to Smallpox. Omicron is very much milder, spreads much more quickly, and provides a genuine, long-lasting, vaccination, unlike the clot-shot. Of course Big Pharma does not want anything cutting into their trillions of projected profits, even if it costs the lives of millions.
We survive Throgmorton, because the Corona virus is damned smart. It propagates within our species but does not destroy us.
The 1918 (Spanish) flu virus was far worse than this, but did not destroy us. People then were far more rational. The basic truth that fresh air and sunshine defeat airborne disease was simply accepted.
I’m old enough (64) to remember when every city had TB sanitariums. Again, such buildings were easy to spot because of the many large windows. Fresh air is your friend. Every mother used to urge her children to go outside for fresh air. Is this prosaic truth lost?
My wife and I went to a parents teacher conference when my son was in kindergarten. The teachers were wearing black arm bands and only wanted to complain to the parents because they didn’t have a contract. My wife had to hold me back. My son is 38 now, and I knew then things were not right. As an aside learned after the ‘conference’ the kindergarten teacher earned 5k more than me and of course had a pension. NY.
“…biggest revelation of the past year.”
As brutally shocking as this revelation has been, we needed to understand what was going “behind the curtain”. We can’t rid ourselves of roaches in the daylight. The darkness was necessary for them to come scurrying out, to show themselves. Now we know what has been going on and what their plans are for the debauched “education” of our children, that education which we pay for through our taxes.
Enough. Call the exterminator.
I have a dream…
One day there will be a bounty on marxists…
They want the paychecks and benefits but don’t want to show up to work. Common problem.
The Seattle public schools have announced that there will be no classes on Monday, January 3rd. Instead, they will be offering testing centers for all staff and students at various middle schools around the city. It is my full expectation that close to half the people testing will pop a positive result, whether or not they have symptoms, because that seems to be how it is trending right now. And, as we all know the drill by now, that means that the schools will immediately be put into “remote learning” mode, which is probably what most of the teachers prefer anyway!
Marxist school teachers will expect their regular salary and “a bonus for the new hardships” again. Which the marxists politicians will gladly fund. Corruption breeds corruption, without accountability.
So, what is new?
And the TOP. MEN. over at the Fan Belt Inspector agency will have their backs when parents rightfully and assertively react negatively to this act of harmful insanity.
I keep wondering what all the school nurses were doing last year. On the payroll and performing what functions exactly?
Fantastic news, I support the teachers walking out. The less time they have to indoctrinate the children the better.
“It’s a tough call on which institutions have lost the most credibility over the past 18 months between the medical institutions, the education institutions or the institutions of the justice system (courts, FBI and DOJ).”
You nailed it again, Sundance. It is all of the above. Everyone I know is disgusted with the lot of them.
The communists caused a shutdown early on in this psyop. Expose them. Hold them accountable.
Back in the mid-80’s a conservative talk-show host Jim Eason in San Francisco had a Stanford Professor on who stated the best ways to reduce government was to send ALL of the federal employees within any given agency home with full-pay and require them to NOT perform and work for the federal government. They would eventually die-off but more importantly no new regulations would be written and all the savings on energy and not having to clean up after them would save us billions.
Send then home but they won’t have a job to come back to. Hire new teachers who want to work.
This rings a bell. They cleansed Germany of Nazis, after World War II, by simply not allowing any former Nazi to hold a government job, of any kind.
In our society, promoting blacks and latinos to government jobs, under the premise of affirmative action, would be an effective cleanser of all the leftist nimrods in government positions now.
OF COURSE. FULL PAY, benefits and NO KIDS, no accountability ,NO responsibility and NO WORK….they DO NOTHING but sit home and ‘play’ school.
PARENTS, that ACTUALLY FUND these losers, SHOULD STORM the local school bd and DEMAND better.
Already being shown kids have LOST 2-3Y or educational level OR MORE.
Speak with any teacher that is A TEACHER; that teacher will tell you, in-class IS REQUIRED for kids to learn.
TELL ME HOW a 5YO LEARNS on a laptop or an ipad????????? IT’S LUDICROUS to even BEGIN that argument they are learning to READ….learn anything?
I know many, many teachers, wife and 2 kids are educators….THEY ARE LIVID at what has taken place in public school education. An avg of 30% of kids NEVER sign on or bother to participate…..
WE ARE DESTROYING AMERICA and that is precisely what the dems, libs, marxists, fascists, communists WANT…Dumb, uneducated, unmotivated bots……AND the republicans DON”T GIVE A CRAP either….
This from our friends in Canadia
Math test for teachers ruled racist. A Canadian court has ruled that a mandatory math proficiency test is unconstitutional and should not prohibit those who fail to pass it numerous times from teaching children, as it unfairly affects non-white candidates.

“Math tests bees all raycisssssss an’ sheeeeeeeit”
NEA and AFT are both heavy on CRT, “social justice”, “racial justice”. The head of the NEA, Beck Pringle, is a graduate of Soros’ Rockwood Institute. Communist terrorist Bill Ayers had a role in establishing curriculum.
It’s a cesspool.
What’s with the “#2WEEKS”? Two weeks was up almost 2 years ago now. If they said “#2YEARS” that would at least give them a few months before expiration.
I think most people would see the 2 weeks and wonder what is going to be different then? I wondered that when the original 2 week demand was made.
