Murfreesboro, TN – What are the schools hiding from parents? This story is out of Tennessee, and we are adding another story out of Maryland. Teachers and school districts don’t want you to know what they’re teaching your children. Is this happening with your child’s school?
Have you received any legal forms from your local school district regarding online learning? Did you read them, and is there any mention of “privacy”? You see, schools believe that your children should have absolute privacy from their parents while learning. This is inappropriate for in-classroom learning and highly inappropriate for at-home education.
Why don’t schools want you to know what they’re teaching your children? Parents should know everything their children are doing and learning, especially when that child lives under their parent’s roof.
What are the schools hiding from parents?
From The Tennessee Star:
Parents of students who attend Rutherford County Schools (RCS) must agree not to monitor their child’s online classroom sessions…Officials at all county schools are asking parents to sign forms agreeing not to watch these virtual classes.

We are suspicious. However, we know about the liberal counterculture indoctrination that has been going on in schools for decades. They don’t want parents to witness it. Why? Because parents will demand a wholesale change in the leadership in their school district. Liberals will no longer rule the roost, and be able to brainwash generations with liberal ideology.
The school districts excuse: “RCS strongly discourages non student observation of online meetings due to the potential of confidential information about a student being revealed.” (Chris Butler, Rutherford County Schools Tell Parents Not to Monitor Their Child’s Virtual Classrooms, The Tennessee Star, August 15, 2020). What confidential information? These are our children; they are not adults. Of course, Tennessee, a reliable Red State, has gone a little off the rails. More fromThe Tennessee Star:
As reported Friday, 50 miles away, Maury County Mayor Andy Ogles said “NO!!!” to Gov. Bill Lee’s Big Brother-style child wellbeing program that plans to send government officials to families’ homes to do welfare checks of children.

Big brother wants to knock on your door and see how you’re raising your children. Whatever happened to parental rights? This is the Nanny State at its finest. If this is happening in a Red State, what is happening in your state?
Maryland is not to be outdone, and we flagged this article a couple of months ago, and it got shelved. So let’s work it in since we’re talking about schools, the government, and Big Brother.
What are the schools hiding from parents?
From PJ Media:
A Baltimore County, Md., fifth-grader got a visit from the police after his teacher called to report that she had seen a BB gun on the wall behind the student during a class video call.

Those BB Guns are dangerous if you didn’t know that, you should watch A Christmas Story. You’ll shoot your eye out with one of them BB Guns. Joking aside, it is none of the school district’s business what firearms, especially air powered ones, are in the household. Calling the cops is such an over-reach by the teacher.
The boy’s mother, Courtney Lancaster Sperry, a Navy veteran, is warning other parents about a lack of privacy during virtual classes after her son was targeted by a teacher who saw what she thought was a scary-looking gun hanging on the wall of the boy’s bedroom.

Yeah, the boy’s mom is a Navy Veteran. This has to be especially insulting to someone who took an oath to the Constitution.
After the teacher reported the gun, the principal, Jason Feiler, decided to call the police to report the guns and ask that the home be searched…The principal and the teacher cited a rule stating that students may not bring guns to school and claimed it extended to virtual classes as well, Sperry said, adding that the school handbook does not address rules for virtual learning at all. Besides, “he did not BRING anything to this meeting and he is in his own home,” she said. “They were simply in the background in our home, safely stowed in a room behind a closed door, with no ammunition (if you can even call it that).”

Ok, so everyone knows about not bringing guns to school. But this is bonkers, thinking the school grounds now extends to a student’s home. This is the big government, Big Brother power grab the liberals dream about. We truly hope the family sues.
Now a little bit of irony. In Tennessee, the government talks about student privacy from parents. However, it DOES NOT apply to the schools:
According to Sperry, the
Paula Bolyard, Teacher Spying on Student During Virtual Class Sends Cops to Search 11-Year-Old’s Home After Spotting a BB Gun, PJ Media, June 11, 2020spyteacher took a screenshot of the boy’s bedroom, which is incredibly creepy and a violation of the family’s privacy. When the mother demanded to see the screenshot taken by the creeper-teacher, she was told she would not be allowed to view it because it wasn’t part of his official school record.
Um, so the school can collect information and won’t show it to parents, but parents have no expectation of privacy and can watch what is going on in the online classroom at their own homes? Are we crazy for seeing a major problem here?
If you haven’t figured it out, the leftward shift in this country starts with the schools. Pay attention to who is running for the school board in your local district. Voter knowledge is how we save America and keep Her great!
