Yeah, never bring politics into the classroom. Shame some teachers feel the need to.

Only conservatives follow that.

Leftists always bring politics into the classroom

I’m not a conservative though, and I wouldn’t dream of bringing politics into my classroom, and I know plenty of Leftwing teachers that are the same way.

I think it’s not left/right so much as “progressive”/everyone else.

You don't teach your students to not be racist? to not be sexist? That IQ is not genetic but environment? and so on?

I teach primary school, why would I even mention IQ to pupils?

I don’t think you have a clue what is taught in my classroom if those are your “concerns”. It really says more about you than me,.

I mentioned those because you said you're not right wing and not teaching "politics" but those things are subjects that leftists think are "not political" when they are.

Leftists usually are like that. "Our views are not political", that's how leftists view themselves.

Did your school have masks? Vaccines? Lockdowns? Covid tests?

You didn't answer the questions

Because they’re not relevant. I’m in an England, we never had vaccine mandates or masking laws and schools operate according to guidance from the department of education so when they shut schools or dictate Covid prevention we have no choice but to comply with the government - currently a Conservative government.

We also have a national curriculum which sets out everything we teach and schools are inspected to make sure that they’re following the curriculum and that safeguarding is being done properly. Some schools have leeway, but not the ones I’ve worked in and because private schools are free to do anything they like (and are the wokest of woke currently, which is hilarious).

I would refuse to fly any BLM or pride flags, but I have got a Union Jack. None of my displays in my classroom are anything other than curriculum related. So no, I don’t have my personal politics in my classroom and I never would, I would outright refuse to fly those flags if told to.

Or responding to it already having happened.
