50 years ago we lived in a time where kids thought it an honor to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance, pray, and mass shootings all but unheard of. Today the reality couldn’t be more different. In an era where school children are more likely to be seen throwing tantrums than listening to authority figures. Formally respected institutions and formalities are being thrown out the window in favor of new “progressive” societal values and laws.
When one hears of child abuse, most would likely think of extreme physical punishment or deep emotional neglect. But to fragile snowflakes growing up in the Boulder Valley School district in Colorado, teachers do not have the authority to make the students mind or respect their country.
Karen Smith, a physical education teacher at Angevine Middle School in Lafayette, was placed on leave earlier this month after teaching with the facility for over 20 years.
Her crime? Not allowing the little children in her class, to run the classroom.
God forbid a teacher to teach her students about order and authority…
Head on over to the next page to learn what exactly this teacher did to get expelled and arrested
This Teacher should receive a Award for doing her Job !
This is the problem with the country today. The school and the parents need to stand beside this teacher. Back in my day if you would of pulled this you would of really got it when you got home from your dad.
I would send the brat to the office everyday. You stand or get out of my class.
I am in charge here. Not you you either stand or report to the office,you are not allowed in my room
I’m almost afraid to get back into teaching. I’d likely punch an administrator that tells me I have to call a boy a girl or can’t teach the kids to respect their elders or even themselves. I was lucky enough to teach at some good schools in the past where they were run pretty much like mine was run as a kid. They did the pledge, respected their teachers, for the most part. There are always a bad apple in the bunch no matter where the school is. But, for the most part I liked teaching and the kids were awesome. These days, the neoliberals have poisoned the schools.
Liberals will destroy this country. Stop voting for Democrats. They hate everything American.
When I went o school we had respect for our teachers and this countries pledge of allegiance. Now a days kids are being raise to disrespect all authority including their parents.
It figures that it would happen in the Boulder Valley School District. Boulder city influence of 25 square. miles surrounded by reality!
Long ago, the flag represented something much different than it does today. When you old school veterans talk about the flag, you’re referring to the old America. Unfortunately that time, as much as we want it back, has passed. Now, it represents a place where people cannot say how they feel because they are going to “offend” someone. It represents a place where someone can lose their job simply for something they post on Facebook. It represents a place where people are labeled a racist and even a terrorist if they reveal opinions that are not in line with the mainstream narrative. It represents a very different place than it did many years ago. This idiot kid who didn’t stand doesn’t know that. He’s just an entitled brat like his parents. That’s not the point. It’s so sad to see that something like this can even happen in America and that is even further evidence of the new America that we live in.
As a retired teacher, I knew (and so did my colleagues) that you could not “make” a child stand, but do you think I ever let THEM know that? They knew my expectations and there was never a question.
There is no respect for America let alone teachers. Send to office let staff deal with the unruly ones.
