No, it’s a shit job, and it would take an extraordinary individual to spend their days dealing with mostly shit-bags, and still be able to deal with average citizens like a decent human being.

I have dealt with a lot of cops and only 2 instances of them being cocksuckers. One was in MS that was a transplant from Memphis PD - he didn’t last long in North MS as a cop. And the other was in VA lol.
I 100% support cops, but I 100% will roast their shit too when they are in the wrong.
I am always respectful and cordial to them in a traffic stop even when they are being cocksuckers. In the field is not the time or place to handle any issues. I will do it later - legally.
Yes.
But with a caveat. Murder is now legal.

Most teachers don’t want anything to do with this. Wokeism is being imposed on them as well. There are exceptions and there will be more of them as time goes on and the number of teachers from gen z increases and bring their college indoctrination into the classroom. I would say that at least half of what is taught in teacher prep programs is directly related to wokeism and the other half will have some connection to it. There are reasons why teachers are leaving the profession in greater numbers and being pushed out by woke policies that paint them as old and outdated (traditional is often used as a pejorative term) is one of them. People get upset about tenure but it’s what helps less woke, older teachers stay employed.

From where? Who is pushing them to teach this ideology? Asking for my own understanding.
You would need a 3-digit IQ to understand.

I’m curious as to who’s pushing all of this as well. It doesn’t seem organic. Safe to say the Eugenics people are back, getting a kick out of chemically and surgically castrating the mentally and emotionally vulnerable.
But regardless, banning woke-ism from school is just clumsy and hamfisted. They’ll just call it something else and move on. I think the smart solution is cameras in every classroom. Let parents peek in at any time, record video, give them the evidence to weed out the unfit.

University professors who have never set foot in a public school classroom let alone had a real job. But we can’t let parents off the hook either. They decided that being their kid’s best friend was better than being a parent. They were ok with the everybody gets a trophy approach. They don’t have the balls to take their kids’ phones away. 20% of kids suffer from mental illness, this was before covid, and it’s going up.
It’s a perfect storm in schools. You have approaches to behavior that not only don’t work, but make things worse. Then you have the actual things that are taught and how they are taught. Besides moving towards a woke curriculum born from marxism, multiple waves of feminism, gender studies, intersectionality and CRT, there is no academic rigor. Kids are learning less. That’s why you see people pushing to hold high achieving students back by getting rid of higher level classes in the name of justice and equity.
Here’s an example of what I saw being taught in a junior high social studies class: the Spanish were portrayed as greedy barbarians in search of gold while the Aztecs were farmers. They take a narrative approach to history, something CRT believes in, that has to have a good guy vs bad guy dynamic. They won’t say the Aztecs were cannibals, slave owners, conquerers, torturers, murderers, etc. They were so bloodthirsty that the surrounding peoples, who were subjugated by the Aztecs, helped the Spanish to defeat them. But the facts won’t support a good guy/bad guy narrative. And the bad guy, in short, is Western Civilization.

The number one reason why you don’t have cameras in classrooms is they don’t want the public to see how kids really behave. It’s like how everyone wanted cops to have bodycams until they showed what cops have to deal with. BLM is against bodycams because they usually exonerate cops.
What if the unfit are their own kids?

I appreciate the insight you have here; agree with everything you said.
An anecdotal experience…
I’m enrolled in college classes in pursuit of a BS in Computer Information Systems. For some reason, i had to take a class called “Environmental Sociology” - which effectively is ‘environmental policies which carry disproportionate outcomes for minority populations’. I don’t disagree with correcting environmental policies to help us lessen our impact on nature, or individuals (as long as it is economically feasible, won’t derail the thread on this). But this class was quite seriously pushing these idiot teenagers to think this was the most important problem out there.
I sent a message to the instructor about 2 weeks into this 8 week class… message went something like this (actual quoted conversation):
“I am struggling with this course and my interest within it. I have no issue writing about racial inequities or environmental problems - or even how the two are intertwined, but I am having a hard time finding these social issues to be the most important wrongdoings in the world. There is an active genocide in China, Russia reduced a city of 450,000 people to rubble a couple weeks ago, the US is polarizing so badly that a 2nd civil war is seeming more likely by the day, faith in democracy is faltering, the price of gas has nearly doubled in just over 12 months, and the already record-high inflation has no end in sight.
What I’m getting at, is that environmental equity, while important, feels so far down the list of important social issues that it barely registers - at least in my opinion. I like to come up with solutions to problems, and I would thoroughly enjoy tackling any of the problems I listed above - but I don’t feel any of them can be adequately attributed to the nature of this course… Honestly, focusing on environmental inequity feels like putting a band-aid on a papercut while ignoring that the patient is having a heart-attack. I hope this doesn’t come off as offensive, it is merely my opinion.”
Her response:
Hello Andrew,
I read and re read your email and did not want to rush into responding without giving it due thought.We are all at different levels engaging with the geo political scenario. Some more than others.
At this point my role is limited to advising you that this course meets a requirement for your graduation and you have to engage with its content at the level of meeting your degree requirements like any other classes you are taking. This is not to say that I am trying to make light of the the issues at the global level.
In summary… This lady had no idea that her entire degree and course was majorly unimportant, and did nothing to even address the issues the class was about. All the assignments wanted was for us to write about the people - not even investigate the root cause of these issues. But yes, this stuff is still more important to her than active genocides, the errosion of rights, or impending civil war.
I was very surprised I was forced to take this class, considering the complexity of my degree’s course load.

3 points? You could run for governor.
I am smart enough to know I don’t want any political position. I have zero desire to ever hold any office unless it is on the bench.
Here’s my issue with classes like that: fine, I’ll take it but, they won’t allow any dissent from the narrative. I had to list my privileges for a class but when I questioned the entire premise of privilege I was told that wasn’t up for debate. Privilege exists because they said so. If they truly believed in these concepts they would welcome challenges to them. But that isn’t what it is as they do believe in them like people believe in religion. Any dissent is heresy. These are the my truth people.

I think it very often would be the kids who are the problem. But when there is video evidence that goes public I think that could lead to improvements also.
As a larger point, I am very much pro school choice. Let teachers and administrators fuck around too much and I will take my kids and our money elsewhere. Because let’s be honest, it’s the money they care about.

And when the parents with shitbag kids choose the same school as you, where does that leave you?
Teach my kid how to deal with shitbags? Able to move schools? Are you arguing against school choice?
What a strange scenario you pose…

This has come up so often that I no longer discuss it with my spouse. I too question the premise. No doubt some have it easier than others (like I went to a school with no crime and my wife went to high schools where she couldn’t wear certain color combos because of gang affiliations). But to me privilege is not equal to life being easier simply because that is not the meaning of the word privilege.
Edit: I am so glad I got through undergrad before this shift seemingly happened and that I studied a topic where the professors actually care about solving real problems.
