#monthly tag rant (:#i work in a middle school and today we were in a meeting about what we're doing for the next unit#and there's a textbook that's part of the (already made) curriculum and it has a bunch of different reading passges and short stories#and whatever#so we were trying to see which ones we can skip over since we don't have time to use them all and there was one that the summary was read#and it was basically about a kid who deals with racism in their neighborhood or something#and the way we were told we had to steer clear because it could be labeled critical race theory...#especially in a school district that has a higher number if minority families#like they literally probably EXPERIENCE this in their own lives as kids?!#actually not probably i KNOW some of them do and the fact we can't read something that could likely be relatable and potentially helpful#(i didnt have a chance to read it so i cant say what exactly it's message/lesson is but)#it's just fucking insane and this is my girst year there so i don't really have a feel for all the teacher's opinions and stuff too#so the dynamic was so off not knowing if their reactions were directed at the absurdness or bc they in some way agree....#i fucking hate this state and country#we also as 'required' to report if a student discloses they are or may be trans...#like actually'hypothetically' i will NOT be fucking doing that#a surefire way to put a CHILD in danger what the actual fuck is wrong with this shit#DONT GET ME STARTED ON THE FUCKING BOOK BAN/RESTRICTIONS ALSO IN PLACE OH MY FUCKING GOD#like i know this isn't NEW information and my mother has been a teacher for over a decade#but it's disorienting to be directly in front of all this shit being in place#all of this shit is just hurting children and it's fucking ridiculous how no one actually values kids and human beings#as*** human beings#never have and looks like they never will#you don't care about protecting children you care about controlling them and making yourself comfortable in your ignorance!!!#rant over gonna go scream into my pillo#pj talks#about
