BREAKING: Emails unearthed by America First Legal (AFL) via FOIA request reveal the Biden administration forced schoolchildren to wear masks because poll data showed it was politically popular.

This is disgusting and unethical.
From the Albuquerque Teachers Federation regarding the new “parents’ rights bill”
Albuquerque Teachers Federation is thrilled with the NM midterms. It’s amazing to me that we let these clearly partisan “nonpartisan” unions represent public sector employees. I’m not a member, but they represent me by default.
I’m surprised this is considered news. This is standard procedure in America’s schools.

TEACHER TRAINING IN TRANS CULTURAL FLUENCY TRAINING 🧐🧐🧐: Albuquerque Public Schools paid $50 to teachers who attended.

The class was ostensibly aimed at helping teachers support trans students. However, the class included many UNSUBSTANTIATED CLAIMS AND IDEOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK including:
• Sexual organs are irrelevant to a person's gender.
• A boy who plays with dolls is not actually a boy but is non-binary instead. A girl who wants to play football is not actually a girl but is non-binary instead.
• Addressing trans students by the name and pronouns they were assigned at birth is disrespectful, and teachers were advised to model language and behavior.
• Society is to blame for the mental health problems and suicides of trans students.
• Using puberty blockers just pauses puberty while the child decides which puberty to go through.
