I work in the Culver City Unified School District.
I cannot say in what capacity. I fear my job would be eliminated because of the blatant political correctness for disagreeing with the party line.
The School District has very fine people working in campus security. The problem is that none of them is allowed to carry a gun to stop a crazed armed intruder. To make a simple proposal to arm our security personnel would go against the political correctness and mindset of people who don't want an “armed campus.”
The School District is an incubator for indoctrinating our kids to the leftist agenda. The few conservative teachers are cowed into silence by the overt sanctimonious “progressive” forces that intimidate anyone wanting to speak out.
I want to give you an example of this in the Spanish language department at the high school:
One teacher has a picture of Che Guevara, a murdering leftist terrorist, hanging in the center front of the classroom. Instead of glorifying a terrorist like Che Guevara, why not have a picture of a founding father like George Washington.
The students are indoctrinated into believing that the U.S. is a racist imperialist country. In fact, they are encouraged to write essays on how great Che Guevara was and how evil the CIA was in having him killed. The teacher shows movies glorifying the FMLN terrorist group in El Salvador, portraying the U.S.- backed government as evil.
There really is no opportunity to express another point of view without repercussions. Unfortunately, the students, who only are given one side, wind up being indoctrinated.
The indoctrination of students happens in other departments as well. It basically works as only giving the “progressive” point of view – mocking , exaggerating, denigrating conservative arguments that might be opposed to the “politically correct” answers.
It is sad that we have come to a point in the education field that one has to be anonymous to come forth to speak the truth.
