An old post, but so completely out of touch with reality.
Teachers are agents of the government.
They teach what is required in curriculum which is a government mandated standard. This includes a plethora of outdated information, misleading information and biased information.
Parents homeschooling their children is the parent choosing how their child is indoctrinated. I’d much rather parents choose more of the curriculum than the state, because the state represents oppression of the people.
Parents aren’t oppressors of a society. The government is. Teaching children that voting is a voice (no longer relevant and inaccurate), very biased lessons in American history including our government being the “good guys” in foreign wars etc; this is government indoctrination.
If parents homeschooling is “indoctrination” then so is state public schooling. And I’d much rather parents have that influence over their own children.
This isn’t pearl clutching Karen’s pulling paranoia out of their asses. This is oppressed citizens seeking asylum from a government attempting to convince the public why they’re relevant and needed.
You’re a teacher? Then you’re influencing and corrupting children for the state.

Do whatever you want without being judged? Are you 5?
How about not being willingly ignorant and having informed consent before making indulgent decisions? All of these things: being shamed, judged, mocked is (at the end of the day) up to you and confronting your own insecurities. Own your choices and be confident. If you’re the own who is right, you wouldn’t actually care about being shamed.
Unpopular opinion:
People constantly “calling out” toxic behavior by throwing the word toxic in front of every behavior that they personally interpret as toxic…
You’re the one carrying the bucket of poison and making the choice to throw it around.
