This is so not surprising. I briefly taught middle school social studies, the best three years of my career. Sadly, I can no more convince people that no teacher I have ever met is trying to indoctrinate children, than I can convince them that classrooms do not have litter boxes for children identifying as furries. Yes, people I know and thought were intelligent deeply believe the latter, and scoff when I tell them it’s an urban legend. They assure me that they know ow someone who knows someone who swears those litter boxes are in our public school classrooms. 🤯
