Meet Matthew R. Kay, a teacher at Philadelphia\u2019s Science Leadership Academy who\u2019s been accused of trying to indoctrinate his students in left-wing thought.<\/strong><\/p>\n Kay came to the public\u2019s attention Saturday when he posted viral tweets warning his followers that the virtual classrooms slated for this school season will allow \u201cpotential spectators,\u201d including parents, to overhear what their kids are learning.<\/strong><\/p>\n This, he warned his followers, might present a challenge for their so-called \u201cequity\/inclusion work,\u201d i.e., their alleged indoctrination of schoolchildren.<\/strong><\/p>\n This alleged indoctrination includes discussions that \u201cencourage vulnerability,\u201d address \u201cgender\/sexuality\u201d and \u201cdestabiliz[e] a kid\u2019s racism or homophobia or transphobia.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Kay further suggested that he\u2019s always taught his students that \u201cwhat happens here stays here,\u201d but that virtual classrooms will prevent this.<\/strong><\/p>\n Mr. Kay, I would like to remind you that parents are supposed to be the ones raising their children–that is not your job. Your job is to teach them the academic skills they need to function successfully in our society. If they learn compassion, empathy, and respect for all people, that is a good thing, but theoretically their parents are supposed to be teaching that–it is not your job.<\/p>\n The article includes a few tweets of people who responded to Mr. Kay’s tweet:<\/p>\n However, not everyone had a problem with Mr. Kay’s idea of excluding parents:<\/p>\n “Parents are dangerous.” Wow. Where have we gone?<\/p>\n The article concludes:<\/p>\n Moreover, the fact that Kay and those like him want to hide what\u2019s happening in these so-called \u201csafe spaces\u201d makes it seem as if indoctrination is involved.<\/strong><\/p>\n The good news is that at least parents are now aware of what\u2019s happening in classrooms across the country. Whether or not they choose to respond by taking some sort of action is up to them.<\/strong><\/p>\n Before the November election, do some research into your School Board candidates.\u00a0 Your vote could make the difference between your children being educated and your children being indoctrinated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Many years ago, my husband and I took in a refugee from a communist country and her daughter to live with us until they were able to support themselves.
