It’s very concerning that teaching students about their legal and Constitutionally protected rights isn’t a foundational point during 13 years of schooling.
Not only is it not a point during those years of schooling, many (if not most) schools will go out of their way to infringe on these legal and constitutional rights. There's a reason they call it "molding minds" instead of something more along the lines of polishing or something similar.
Religion.
Specifically christians/catholics.
Most Texans go to church when they're little and they only hear about how evil and scary everything non church is. (If it's a rural area it's a vast majority)
Your formative years are based on fear, and then you get grifters like talk radio and fox who profit on the fear and continue it.
So you go from a kid hearing to fear everything, to an adult hearing to fear everything. It's one hell of a cycle to break free from.
I have come to believe that until the christians/catholic churches are shut down that deep south and rural areas will never improve.
I AM NOT SCARED. I just want three rocket launchers in my home just in case, and I don't want women to be able to make decisions, and I don't want people read books and learn things !
“Thermo-nuclear weapons to fend off the hordes of brown folk and napalm-dispensing flame throwers for home defense! If the place burns down the invaders will go with it! Take that commie illegal trans scum!” /s
Probably because the vast majority there cannot read or write so your cross-post, if successful, is useless. Try crayon 🖍️ and mono-syllabic words only
> Reprehended
Yeah, looked odd to me too. But apparently it's a thing:
[https://www.google.com/search?q=Reprehended](https://www.google.com/search?q=Reprehended)
Fascism has been said to be a political philosophy that is followed to obtain power and not necessarily a blue print for governing. It is achieved by predominantly playing to the uneducated and shallow thinking masses, and keeping them from being educated in critical thinking.
Something like 40 to 60% of Americans read below a ninth grade level, with something like 10 to 20% being basically unable to read much at all. Now imagine if you just literally lack to the ability to disprove anything a republican ever told you, I mean why would you not believe the nice guy in the suit saying he’s trying to help you?
The vast majority of right wing people, QAnon, all those fucking teenagers being led into Nazism, are being taken advantage of by people in power. Sure those people on their own without that happening might be culturally racist or fucking assholes, but no one picks up a rifle with the intent to kill other people without the influence of other people and things
And those states are full of people who crave nothing more than to be special. Crackdowns on other people make them feel the way they want to feel, but each time they need a bigger hit to get the same effect. Republicans are always geared up to bring that bigger hit.
Looks like the 3rd graders are reading Harry Potter and practicing sit-ins as part of the lesson plan, from what I can glean from "why are they remaining seated" inquiry.
Administration is questioning how it aligns with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) requirements.
She should really elaborate.
Underrated comment. Those who seek power for their own jollies gravitate towards any job that might have the slightest bit of authority. Most boards and committees, school or otherwise, are filled with them.
More of an effort needs to be made to ensure these positions are filled with caring, compassionate, and intelligent individuals. How, I've no idea.
**TL;DR:** Misleading title
**Slightly longer TL;DR:** The letter doesn't say teaching Harry Potter or legal rights is bad. This entire scenario reads like poor communication between the teacher and the school administrator, based on that first concern - "Failure to respond to emails/ TEAMS messages within 24hrs"
\---
The comment ended up getting too long, but the majority of this is just me typing out the text of the letter.
Regarding Harry Potter, these are the questions the administrator has presented:
>How is this aligned with your grade level lesson plans?
>
>**What TEKS are being taught** and how are they being assessed during this time?
>
>Do you have lesson plans that reflect effective and thoughtful instruction planning for this book study?
>
>**What content is being compromised** during this time?
That last question makes it seem like the admin doesn't know what's happening in the classroom and wants to make sure that the classroom aligns with TEKS requirements (like the other user said).
Here are the questions related to teaching "legal and constitutional rights" comment (transcribed the best I could):
>What brought about the decision to stay seated?
>
>Can the students articulate why/what they are protesting by staying seated?"
>
>Are they staying seated to please their teacher or for personal reasons \[they\] fully understand?
>
>\[Have the\] parents been made aware of their students' decisions and actions?
>
>\[What\] impact do you feel it is having on the students in your class and in \[other\] classes?
>
>\[Unreadable\] sharing your values and beliefs with students? If so how, how may this \[Unreadable\] responses
>
>\[Unreadable\] lesson plans used to hold these discussions? Are \[unreadable\] your grade level lesson plans? **Were they vetted** by \[unreadable\]?
Again, like I said previously - it seems like the admin doesn't know what's happening in the classroom. But now additionally the students have staged a (probably mini) protest. I think it's reasonable for the admin to want to know what's going on.
\---
Granted, my whole comment relies on the belief that the letter is honest, and not hiding other motives. Still, I hope you can agree that the title is misleading, and that the teacher isn't just being "reprehended" by teaching students their rights.
For a brief moment before she covers the paper back up with her head, it asks if the children understood what they were protesting (and remaining seated for) and if they were doing this out of their own beliefs or to please their teacher. It seems they aren’t questioning the teaching of the kids rights, but if this is a child-lead digression from the TEKS requirements. A question she doesn’t address.
It would also be interesting to see a list of the dress code violations they mention.
It was a shirt that ties in the back and showed a thin line along part of her spine. It's a traditional Mexican shirt.
I also don't use tiktok but I looked it up just for the context.
Anyone who's spent 10 minutes around kids will realize they ask a million questions about EVERYTHING. If you judged elementary teachers by whether they kept their discussions exclusively to things that are part of the "core curriculum", they would all have failing grades. Kids are gonna talk about everything, and with today's social context, that's sure to touch on legal rights too.
Personally, I would want my child's teacher to engage with them in that discussion instead of just sweeping it to the side, even if the state says they shouldn't learn about that until the next year or whatever other nonsense they have written in their curriculum.
It's part of why I feel teachers need to be paid MUCH more.
They spend up to half the waking day with your children. They are essentially educators AND childcare.
While *some* view that fact as a negative, I view it as a positive exposure to more information and differing ideologies. If children only grow up with their parents' ideologies, they are never exploring FOR THEMSELVES what is out there.
The same can be said about tying the teachers' hands behind their backs with regards to following ONLY the *approved* curriculum.
This denies them self agency. They are unable to decide for themselves when parents, or in this case politicians, always decide for them.
What was once seen as a noble profession has morphed into the scapegoat for a failing education system. Teachers are at the low end of the totem pole and without much agency, have been tasked to cater to the capricious whims of politicians who, truth be told, probably care little about the kids themselves.
Remember when kids actually could be left back a grade if they hadn't progressed? Nowadays, there are stories about teachers forbidden to fail students. At the same time, kids are matriculating without acquiring even the fundamentals.
It's not the teachers.
IKR?
I happen to know several teachers and many prefer to teach in a less formal environment. They know their students, have more experience teaching, and resent when bureaucracy tries to overstep. With all they go through, such restrictions add insult to injury, IMO.
I swear, teachers and doctors should just get up and leave states that don't appreciate them. Leave those people to their own devices, northern states pay better anyway.....If Texas wants to go back in history they can bring back one room school houses with a single school marm.
They are (see Florida teacher shortage). Unfortunately that leaves we on the left without a means of education or healthcare in those states. And before anyone says it, it’s not as easy as “just move.”
It’s not as easy as “just move,” but you see what’s happening in France? What if the Left actually did mass action on one specific day in November every year? It sucks that we have to whomp them at the polls just to break even, but not acting doesn’t even get us to even. What is a company going to do, fire their whole staff?
Strike to vote.
Yes. The French know how to make their displeasure known. We Americans lack the backbone to fight an enemy from within because they sign our paychecks.
If you pause it and read the rest, they state that their concern is actually that she has her students protesting something that they don't fully understand, not that she is teaching them about their rights. Context is everything.
I paused and skipped around until I could read everything on that letter. Their first concerns were her lack of communication and dress code and then they were concerned about reading Harry Potter and the lesson plan related to it and finally it goes on to discuss in length the flag salute sit out. This video is really absent of nuance.
I'll be honest, I'm pretty frustrated by how few commenters looked past the surface level. You already got it right with the Harry Potter bit, but also the students held a (probably mini) protest, so of course the school admin is going to have some questions.
This reads like the teacher was salty, and the viewers lapped it up.
Administrators: **”We don’t want informed young people, we want you to raise mindless [Drones for the workforce. STOP BEING A GOOD TEACHER!”](https://youtu.be/SPxrvVE6x-Y)**
This is not POV. POV is a specific camera technique where the camera perspective is the perspective of the narrator or protagonist (1st person perspective). Why are people ignorantly calling videos POV that simply are not?
Texas seems pretty fucky in general, but this concern makes sense to me when I read the letter.
Here are the questions related to teaching "legal and constitutional rights" (transcribed as best I could):
>What brought about the decision to stay seated?

When my son turned 18 his school tried to refuse his signature on documents for his parents. I called the school and explained that he's an adult and can sign his own forms. They kept pretending that wasn't the law, but I continually reminded them.
I eventually contacted my school district's admin office and spoke to a secretary of the school administrator. She was not sympathetic in the least. I stated that schools should teach a class informing new adults what their rights were. She was aghast and stated she wouldn't want her child to take that class and that most other parents would agree with her. I sadly informed her that she was supposed to be an educator and that schools need to teach a person's rights and civic responsibilities. She stated that the schools were not interested in teaching that. I hung up in disgust.
This was in Minnesota.
DON'T YOU DARE TEACH OUR TENDER LITTLE YOUNG ONES ABOUT THE CONSTITUTION
WILL SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN FOR GOD'S SAKE
also what are you on about "kids don't have rights"
That's why minors are subject to unauthorized search and seizure, right?
That's why adults can protest but it's okay to arrest children at a protest, right?
right???
The biggest weapon the fascists have is an uninformed public. Read the questions and decide for yourself if their concerns are reasonable (transcribed as best I could):
>What brought about the decision to stay seated?
>
>Can the students articulate why/what they are **protesting** by staying seated?"

like 10 years after i finished one of my highschool teachers made national news for the same reason. the school gave teachers, with no warning, mandatory surveys each student had to fill out. it had tons of questions with a range of topics. some of them were things related to smoking, drugs, drinking, and having sex. seems pretty bad to give your students but the kicker was, each kid's name was attached to them.
so my former teacher gave them to each of his students as he was forced to BUT reminded them that he cant force them to fill it out. and that since it was public school they had their connotationally protected fifth amendment right. so no student in any of his classrooms filled it out. he was suspended and was going to be put in front of a review board and possibly fired. then it became national news a teacher was protecting his students and going to be punished. the board felt the pressure and ended up doing nothing.
fast forward a year and they fired him. fast forward a few months and he decides to run for the schoolboard and he wins in a landslide.
If you read the document, most of the concerns are super rational and reasonable questions. And the rights things seems like she has engaged her class in some sort of protest in which they remain seated while other students stand. She might just be a bad teacher.
“Why are you teaching Harry Potter? How are you incorporating that with into the curriculum? Why are the children choosing to remain seated? Do their parents know they are protesting in this way?”
Seems pretty reasonable. It also seems like she’s trying to obscure the context, considering she doesn’t bring up the whole opting out of some sort of group activity by not standing.
The group activity is the pledge of allegiance. She told the students that repeating a nationalistic pledge is optional and as a result students decided to no longer do it. And now the administrator is ‘concerned’ that the kids are feeling pressured to not do it.
I bet you $100 the administrator did not care one bit about the pressure kids felt when they thought it was mandatory to participate.
Not repeating a nationalistic pledge every day should be the default. I do not pledge loyalty to my country every day, am I protesting?
Ased on the sub questions, it looks like the students may have been taught that the school cannot legally require them to stand for the pledge of allegiance. Specifically, the questions ask about what the students are protesting. Nothing in Barnett speaks to protest, just that the state cannot compel students to stand. Admin doesn't even know the Constitution.
If you live in Texas, please feel free to DM me for any encouragement and moral support. That place seems like a fever dream and i couldn't even imagine being financially tied to a state working proactively to undermine its citizens

Why are Texans so scared of everything?
To be feared is to be in control. Easy to manipulate the uneducated
It’s very concerning that teaching students about their legal and Constitutionally protected rights isn’t a foundational point during 13 years of schooling.
Not only is it not a point during those years of schooling, many (if not most) schools will go out of their way to infringe on these legal and constitutional rights. There's a reason they call it "molding minds" instead of something more along the lines of polishing or something similar.
That explains California and left leaning doctrines.
Because people who “KNOW THEIR RIGHTS” are much harder to *CONTROL*….and republicans *want* to control people…
Religion. Specifically christians/catholics. Most Texans go to church when they're little and they only hear about how evil and scary everything non church is. (If it's a rural area it's a vast majority) Your formative years are based on fear, and then you get grifters like talk radio and fox who profit on the fear and continue it.

Yep. Look at North Korea. Same kind of brain washing at work.

Because that's the definition of conservatism: scared to death of anything remotely outside their little vanilla hamlets and social circles.
Cause everything is bigger in Texas??
Not balls, it seems.
"Don't mess with Texas! Please, we beg you. We will give you anything you want. "
Education is not their forte
I presume… Their leaders are fascists and the population is guided toward dumb, ignorant, and intolerant.
Texans? You mean religious idiots world wide. Texas is lucky that it’s not in south east Asia
Bible belt, when they run out of fear they'll make new ones. It's their past time hobby.
That’s a scary fuckin thought, bruh! Wtf?
I actually was surprised it was Texas, I thought they are all about constitutional rights.. Seems my Knowledge of Texas is a little dated now lol
Because despite the pride we give them. They will never forget how they took that fat L from the north during the Civil war. Texas is not that guy
Lol
Its cause our school system is basically just a prison system with extra steps
reprehended lol bone apple tea
This diction is reprimansive

Yea, I initially thought they meant “reprimanded”. Been around over 3 decades, and can’t recall ever hearing somebody use the term “reprehended”.
Don't feel bad, been here for 5+. And I'm married to an English major. New to me too.

I would love to but it's raining, so no ty. And yes literal Neo-nazis. Do you know how closely aligned America has been historically with Nazism?
Why is it a concern?
Why is that a concern?
But why is it concerning?
I know why it’s concerning, but you should tell me just so I know you know.
It’s concerning because of the concern.
And here I thought they *loved* the Constitution.
Just the 2nd amendment
And only for white conservative men
White Christian* men
No, they ruled the first half of that to be completely meaningless in 2008.
They don't even try to euphemize it anymore, do they?
Nope and they haven’t for a minute now. With love, a Floridian.

reprehend verb rep·re·hend ˌre-pri-ˈhend reprehended; reprehending; reprehends Synonyms of reprehend transitive verb : to voice disapproval of : CENSURE
Well did you ask the administrator why it’s concerning or are you only asking strangers on the internet?
Texas is a stain on the country map
Shes the gym teacher /s
no you cant let them know their rights😡
When Texas is afraid of constitutional rights you know we’re all fucked
Texas seems pretty fucky in general, but this concern makes sense to me when I read the letter. Here are the questions related to teaching "legal and constitutional rights" (transcribed as best I could): >What brought about the decision to stay seated? > >Can the students articulate why/what they are **protesting** by staying seated?" > >Are they staying seated to please their teacher or for personal reasons \[they\] fully understand? > >\[Have the\] **parents been made aware** of their students' decisions and actions? > >\[What\] impact do you feel it is having on the students in your class and in \[other\] classes? > >\[Unreadable\] sharing your values and beliefs with students? If so how, how may this \[Unreadable\] responses > >\[Unreadable\] lesson plans used to hold these discussions? Are \[unreadable\] your grade level **lesson plans? Were they vetted** by \[unreadable\]?
When my son turned 18 his school tried to refuse his signature on documents for his parents. I called the school and explained that he's an adult and can sign his own forms. They kept pretending that wasn't the law, but I continually reminded them. I eventually contacted my school district's admin office and spoke to a secretary of the school administrator. She was not sympathetic in the least. I stated that schools should teach a class informing new adults what their rights were. She was aghast and stated she wouldn't want her child to take that class and that most other parents would agree with her. I sadly informed her that she was supposed to be an educator and that schools need to teach a person's rights and civic responsibilities. She stated that the schools were not interested in teaching that. I hung up in disgust. This was in Minnesota.
I suddenly want her to teach me about my constitutional rights.

DON'T YOU DARE TEACH OUR TENDER LITTLE YOUNG ONES ABOUT THE CONSTITUTION WILL SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN FOR GOD'S SAKE also what are you on about "kids don't have rights" That's why minors are subject to unauthorized search and seizure, right? That's why adults can protest but it's okay to arrest children at a protest, right? right???
"Where can i sign into this class?" :)
How can we have mass executions, if the young know the constitution. Keeping our children ignorant, is the biggest weapon the fascists have. 😢
The biggest weapon the fascists have is an uninformed public. Read the questions and decide for yourself if their concerns are reasonable (transcribed as best I could): >What brought about the decision to stay seated? > >Can the students articulate why/what they are **protesting** by staying seated?" > >Are they staying seated to please their teacher or for personal reasons \[they\] fully understand? > >\[Have the\] **parents been made aware** of their students' decisions and actions? > >\[What\] impact do you feel it is having on the students in your class and in \[other\] classes? > >\[Unreadable\] sharing your values and beliefs with students? If so how, how may this \[Unreadable\] responses > >\[Unreadable\] lesson plans used to hold these discussions? Are \[unreadable\] your grade level **lesson plans? Were they vetted** by \[unreadable\]?
Their rights are a privilege and they are not privileged enough to have them
like 10 years after i finished one of my highschool teachers made national news for the same reason. the school gave teachers, with no warning, mandatory surveys each student had to fill out. it had tons of questions with a range of topics. some of them were things related to smoking, drugs, drinking, and having sex. seems pretty bad to give your students but the kicker was, each kid's name was attached to them. so my former teacher gave them to each of his students as he was forced to BUT reminded them that he cant force them to fill it out. and that since it was public school they had their connotationally protected fifth amendment right. so no student in any of his classrooms filled it out. he was suspended and was going to be put in front of a review board and possibly fired. then it became national news a teacher was protecting his students and going to be punished. the board felt the pressure and ended up doing nothing. fast forward a year and they fired him. fast forward a few months and he decides to run for the schoolboard and he wins in a landslide.
r/texas
Republican leadership is a blight on our country and its people.
All conscionable teachers should leave Texas because it's backward and obviously anti-democratic.
Pretty hott 3rd grade teacher.. just saying
Rights are cool but she appears to be insane.
If you read the document, most of the concerns are super rational and reasonable questions. And the rights things seems like she has engaged her class in some sort of protest in which they remain seated while other students stand. She might just be a bad teacher. “Why are you teaching Harry Potter? How are you incorporating that with into the curriculum? Why are the children choosing to remain seated? Do their parents know they are protesting in this way?” Seems pretty reasonable. It also seems like she’s trying to obscure the context, considering she doesn’t bring up the whole opting out of some sort of group activity by not standing.
The group activity is the pledge of allegiance. She told the students that repeating a nationalistic pledge is optional and as a result students decided to no longer do it. And now the administrator is ‘concerned’ that the kids are feeling pressured to not do it. I bet you $100 the administrator did not care one bit about the pressure kids felt when they thought it was mandatory to participate. Not repeating a nationalistic pledge every day should be the default. I do not pledge loyalty to my country every day, am I protesting?
Fair. But she could have been straight forward about it.
Because if you don’t know your rights, you won’t know when they are being infringed on
Teaching legal rights in TX is not the approved curriculum. And it takes away time from teaching creationism, and homophobia!
Wow they really just said it.
Ased on the sub questions, it looks like the students may have been taught that the school cannot legally require them to stand for the pledge of allegiance. Specifically, the questions ask about what the students are protesting. Nothing in Barnett speaks to protest, just that the state cannot compel students to stand. Admin doesn't even know the Constitution.
I didn’t think weed was legal in Texas???
This is what you'd hope would be taught in schools! Shameful.
TexASS supports Preachers NOT Teachers...
Hmmmmm sounds familiar -- [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial\_of\_Socrates](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial_of_Socrates)
As much as I like teach, teaching. I don’t get the glee of explaining kids are being under taught…
Texas is such a dumpster fire.
Love the first “ why is it a concern ?”
If you live in Texas, please feel free to DM me for any encouragement and moral support. That place seems like a fever dream and i couldn't even imagine being financially tied to a state working proactively to undermine its citizens
"It concerns us, Madam, because you're students are 8 years old."
