My daughter overheard her teacher say Trump is a terrible President. Should I report her to the school board? (Page 2)

Question

She was at her locker after school (this happened Thursday on the second day of school) and she heard her teacher say Trump is a terrible parent. She also heard her talking about her family voting more libertarian this time and how she is a fan of AOC and then something about where to go to dinner that night. My daughter said she went back to get her track shoes. She looked in the classroom and her teacher was talking to who I assume is her boyfriend (she said her teacher showed pictures on a slide show on the first day last week). After that, she told the person “I love you, too” and got off her phone. I don’t think teachers should talk badly about the president even if school is out and kids are gone because my kid overheard it. We like Trump, and I honestly don’t want her as my kid’s teacher now knowing she doesn’t like the President. We are in a very rural district and it’s a very -red- community. I don’t want my kid graded with bias.

He was impeached for abuse of power and soliciting a forign government to interfere in our elections.  At this point, I see little difference between Trump supporters and the Taliban.

themythos · Answer

No. She was on a private phone call, not talking to any students or forcing her beliefs on anyone. Unless she treats your daughter different there's no argument

Anonymous · Answer

Yes report her. She can believe what she wants and express her opinion freely outside school. However in the school she is a role model, to defame US president in front of kids is political indoctrination and undermining of authority of parents who could support Trump.

The_Other · Answer

Wow... You actually took the time to write this down and didn't see what's wrong with it...

jelly77o · Answer

No. it's her own opinion, its not like she's trying to pass on an agenda or change the kids mind to what she believes is right.  Plus he is a bad president by his OWN judgment.

G5TWA1 · Answer

You have no proof the teacher would be biased against your daughter so there's no justification for reporting her

BCA6010 · Answer

The teacher sounds like a total moron if she thinks supporting AOC is even remotely "libertarian." She is the polar opposite of a libertarian.

MannMitAntworten · Answer

Pull her from her class to place her in a different class. If the district gives you mouth, advise them you are attempting to deal with this quietly rather than in a more public fashion. No district likes attention.

slatyb · Answer

Private conversation nit directed toward any student. She’s entitled to her opinion just as she is allowed to put up a campaign sign in her yard.

Sparda20xx · Answer

So you want to report a teacher based on what how you THINK she will treat your child. Unless she has ACTUALLY treated your child badly for wearing a trump shirt you have no right to report anyone.

Anonymous · Answer

Wow. Let your child make their own choices.

Isn’t that what you people always say? Whether she likes the person whom we must refer to as president is irregardless as long as she is a capable teacher.

Grow up.

007kingifrit · Answer

We can't stop people from speaking the truth. People have freedom of speech and if you really bring this to board just call yourself a Karen.

DamnSam · Answer

You ask here for opinions but won't accept an opinion which is different than yours... This is my personal proof that karens really exist

lilyanony1 · Answer

Mind your own business. It's for whoever she was actually talking to to deal with this, ugh!

josephinelcajon · Answer

I think politics have no place in schools or work! No politics should be discussed and no political propaganda should be in these places.

Anonymous · Answer

So it seems teachers can’t have their own opinions now because it doesn’t fit on with your opinions. Just get over the fact that not every person has to have the same opinion as you.

19vetteman91 · Answer

No it probably won't do much good especially if she is just out of college cuz she has been lead to be a liberal plus because of teachers unions must teachers are liberals

Nalix · Answer

Free speech, let it go. Plenty of children who liven in Blue districts already have to self-censor and pretend they don't like Trump in order to get by in school.

asshole_ · Answer

I think teachers should be able to talk badly about anybody they want I HATE FUCKING GOD DAMN CRIMINAL TRUMP

dracco86 · Answer

He is. Guessing your daughter agreed. The fact that your child is smarter than you is upsetting. neducate yourself on who you're cheering for. Politics isn't sports. It's nice red vs blue, it's the oligarchs vs the working people.

Agape93 · Answer

Aren’t teachers supposed to tell kids facts? Why would you Report her for telling the truth?

Anonymous · Answer

I like many things that Trump did, but exists free expression and she can share that with the wants and respect other points of view

cloud9vortex1234 · Answer

As long as teachers are not talking about it in front of their class then I don't see a problem with it. She's a person too and she's going to have her opinion. It sounds like she didn't even realize your daughter heard her opinion about Trump.

Anonymous · Answer

as your daughter was eastroping to a private conversation, the teacher isn't in the wrong... but if you are concerned scedual a meeting with the teacher to address your concerns?

jonBurchess · Answer

No don't report this teacher we all have the right to our opinions plus SHE is RIGHT

Massageman · Answer

Certainly get it on record, even if nothing is done at this point.

MountAverage · Answer

I don't think you can report teachers for triggering your snowflakiness.

Jersey2 · Answer

Put them on notice about the teacher even if you have to do it with some anonymity to protect your daughter.

zagor · Answer

Since it was an overheard private conversation, no. It's not like she's saying it in front of her class.

Anonymous · Answer

Give it a shot. Teachers aren't supposed to inject their politics into their teaching. I remember teachers specifically avoiding commenting on a number of topics because they're not allowed to influence you like that.

888theGreat · Answer

Yes , like those suckers are not biased enough already. Teachers are a big problem in US society. They are freaking socialists.

Jack-mayhoff · Answer

No why would you. He is a terrible president. He is a fucking lunatic

jmstarling · Answer

I bet you didn't care if a teacher spoke badly about Obama.

Jamie05rhs · Answer

I wouldn't report her for that. She didn't do anything wrong.

madgoat · Answer

No, she was talking to her boyfriend about personal stuff.

letssee89 · Answer

Would you not go to a doctor because they, generally (at least where I am), don't like Trump?

FakeName123 · Answer

No. You will make your daughters life hell under this teacher.

msc545 · Answer

The teacher is entitled to her opinions whether you like them or not. Are you familiar with the concept of academic freedom?

LibtardLoserUK · Answer

Unless she's feeding the kids propaganda in place of education I don't think you need to do anything.

Anonymous · Answer

Her teacher was right. Trump is the worst president ever.

Kitty46 · Answer

She should not overheard, it not nice. It was a private conversation.

Rangers · Answer

Absolutely, she's a communist trying to brainwash children, she should be fired immediately

ManHater · Answer

YES! but you won't get far. every person is a democrat in the school system.

Anonymous · Answer

The school system is run by nutbar feminist asshats so if your daughter shows she isn’t a retard leftist marxist then she is likely to be discriminated against.

Anonymous · Answer

Yes, Every supporter of AOC should be rounded up and singled out for ridicule. It figures that she is in a position to shape our children's minds into little communists

tjbyrd39 · Answer

Probably not if it wasn't on purpose and teachers were actually trying to be discrete. We do need to protect our freedom of speech still

purplepoppy · Answer

No, everyone can talk about politics but don't do that to your kids, leave her learn something from school, instead of bullshit..

No, why would you report her? People have freedom of speech. Same if Trump said your principle was a bad principle. Trump has freedom of speech too.
