Erin McLaughlin is a teacher from Pennsylvania who is making headlines with her approach to classroom instruction. She argues that viewpoint diversity, which is teaching students how to think rather than what to think, should be at the center of many curriculums.
My first thought part way through the article was "so how long 'til she gets canceled"... Then I hit the part about the kids scared about being canceled for saying the wrong thing in her classes. What a lousy way to grow up fearing that if you have an independent thought and express it, the self-righteous with a loud voice will make you pay
ReplyDeleteWhat a concept!
ReplyDeleteTwelve years of public education before a year of college, and I only had one teacher like this. Her being a Natalie Woods loo-alike might have had something to do with it though...
"...Natalie Woods LOOK-alike..."

So, will she be the first resident in the gulag, or the first body in the first pit deep in the woods? Such hatethink cannot go unpunished by our Glorious Leaders!
ReplyDeleteThis young lady should be pit in charge of a national school curriculum. But I seriously doubt that the far left AND the fart right would accept that. Kudos to Erin for... well... Thinking!!!!!!

Diversity... because you've got your truth, I've got mine... Can't we all just get along? Err, no.
ReplyDeleteAt sometime in ones' life, one has to take a stand and diversity is the very opposite of standing for something (in that it's primary objective is to inculcate tolerance). It has nothing to do with education and everything to do with attitude... We could do with a whole lot less tolerance (says Mr. Cranky.) This is a cloak and dagger operation if there ever was one; but it's got some shine, and will therefore interest the reader... because here I come to save the day! Here, look at this shiny object while I brainwash your kids with my new brain-cleansing program that is getting written up in the newspaper. Ms. McLaughlin (or is it Ms. Lencki?)is just another dupe. Wish she'd leave her philosophy out of the classroom, just like she's asking the ones to leave [cancel] philosophy out of the classroom. She's starting with the very thing she's wanting to get rid of.
One giant 'begging of the question'.
She's not going to get knocked off, she's a damned poster child for the state of American education. Not withstanding she may very well be a good teacher, but not a good educator.
Bruce you do NOT know what you are talking about go and actually read the source and try some to comprehension!!!!! grayman
