"Woke" Thread

Because the democrats want votes to control…. They have the unions…especially the school unions CRT in schools and the curriculum….all to indoctrinate the kids to move to the left ….it’s been a long term plan….you are just starting to see progress in universities and media
If the public school teachers were compensated like other professionals (engineers, IT technicians, etc) the teaching jobs would be filled and interviewed competitively. There would be no need for a union to represent interests not necessarily the teachers and students. Most teachers I know in our area want nothing to do with their union. I understand that 80 percent of school funding is spent on administration, not specifically "teaching" which is a double-digit uptick from ten years ago. I submit that if the teachers were treated and compensated as professionals the cost of education would actually go down.
 
I get that but like I said how the hell do we let this happen!?

I mean it just seems the masses want something else but sheep just keep going through the door ...
This has been brewing for 50-60yrs. The sheep are being created, far more of them are in the 'masses' than we'd like to think, more converts daily. We're witnessing the grandest manipulation ever.

What is going on some folks would call conspiracy nut territory...but it's happening, they just don't recognize it.

I don’t necessarily disagree but you’re talking a very steep long hill to climb

I say let us choose where our tax dollars go ….. let us pick the school…… I think that would straighten up the admin and the union eventually …… a lot of people can’t afford taxes and private school tuition…. By choosing it could eliminate the the tuition and parents would pull their kids in droves….
I know if I had school age children they wouldn’t be in todays public school system

I agree with this for the most part, There was no chance my kids were attending public school (my parents sacrificed a lot to send me and my siblings to private schools and I couldn't look them in the eye if I didn't do the same). Both my boys went to the same Catholic high school. There were some "woke" teachers there at the time. Not all, but just a few. I did not tolerate that and explained to the teachers and the admin what would happen if they pushed their agenda. It wasn't well received but was effective.

My dad always quoted a Catholic Bishop from the 50s (can't remember his name) who said the communists would infiltrate this country through the media and academia. I always scoffed at the notion. But son of a bitch if he wasn't right. If Obama didn't start it, he facilitated it with his divisive rhetoric and policies. And TDS made it acceptable. BLM solidified it. Those of us that are conservative are well and truly fucked in this country. I am not sure the tide can be stemmed absent a civil war.

Fulton Sheen? My parents were big followers and he was very outspoken on Marxism and Communism.
 
I feel the education part was hidden….. Covid home teaching exposed that part…..then parents started to fight back and just look at the Dems and the teachers union fight back….. only republicans did something too little too late…..look at the bill just passed in congress to make schools transparent…..not a single dem voted for it….half of congress insane. They already say it’s dead in the senate….. …..that’s how we are letting it happen

the woke crap, racism and LGBT movement I feel is a minority…group of people….media is amping it up which makes it look bigger then it is….. problem is the Dems have jumped on and that’s triggering dem voters to say to themselves yes republicans are bad

Absolutely. My - how did this happen was rhetorical but great answer just the same. Sad state of affairs we are in and to your point(s) not getting out of this any time soon.

Well I managed to raise 4 republican kids…so it can be done….. my 22yr old was convinced when she got her first paycheck and the tax amount that was taken during Obama’s reign….. she now sits with me and yells at Fox News :)
 
That's the "Who the Fk is FICA" moment. :)
She was pretty upset …… she divided the tax by her hourly rate to figure out how many hours she was working for free….. it was pretty funny

and not a single thing about taxes or personal finance was taught in high school
 
Yeah all 4 of our kids are Republicans. Daughter went to a very liberal college and she used to tell us how they tried pushing their leftist views on the students but she was smart enough to ignore it.

And my wife is a teacher and hates her union. About 10 years ago there was a male staff member that was saying sexually explicit comments to female teachers and showing inappropriate pics to them, She filed a complaint with administration and they next to nothing. She contacted her union rep and they told her they could not help her cause he had already reached out to them first and they were representing him so she had to go get her own private attorney and pay out of pocket for him.

Omg ?…… I don’t want to get into a union debate but I have never seen one work for it’s members

when I worked corporate and managed two non union automotive supply plants. The local union planted two employees in one of the plants….. it was amazing how they could half ass do their job and indoctrinate so many. It was a very interesting experience…. The employees voted the union down in the end but the distraction and loss of productivity over months was painful
 
This is what it’s like living in a Democrat country…where government wants to control you.. everyone in Canada all know the rules ……but this gets repeated every day…this is from the Toronto boat show. What’s cool is when you are on the water they stop you….to make sure you know the rules…but really hoping to catch you….. not unlike driving a car.

My oldest granddaughter had a similar experience a couple years ago...:eek:what happened to my money! She been off to college 2yrs now, so far so good. At x-mas I said you don't have pronouns now do you? She just laughed, don't worry Gramps, said her pronouns were 'Bad-Bitch'.
 
Now my daughters degree is worthless. She was going to go to law school so she got a B.A. in Communications but did an internship selling insurance. She graduated from the honors program in only 3 years. First student to ever do that at her college and it had been opened over 100 years ago. Made 6 figures her first full year of work. Lost a $150,000 a year job last summer when they closed down the insurance company she was at. She applied for over 2000 jobs. All 6 figure jobs had at least 500 applicants and the lower paying jobs told her she was over-qualified. She just took a job recently making $50,000 and has to drive 3 hours a day round trip. I mention her accolades because she is the type of employee that can increase profits for any business yet she is now making 1/3 what she was. Biden, et al, keeps commenting about how many jobs are out there but they are all entry level $15/hour jobs. There is nothing out there for the mid to upper level career folks.

Truth in that. They don't want a middle class.
