School That Suspended Teacher For Questioning Gun Walkout Won't Back Pro-Life Walkout

QuoteThis week, Rocklin High School, which made headlines on National Walkout day for putting a teacher on paid administrative leave for questioning the school's endorsement of the event, officially rejected a student petition to similarly sanction a pro-life demonstration. When students asked the school to give them 17 minutes to "walkout for life," the school exposed its "double standard" regarding politically charged events.



As The Daily Wire reported, AP History teacher Julianne Benzel, who has taught at Rocklin for two decades, learned just a half-hour before school on National Walkout Day that she had been placed on paid administrative leave. She was given no explanation for the suspension, only learning the school's rationale that afternoon when reporters arrived at her house. The reason she was told to stay home: she'd asked students the week before to consider the ramifications of the school officially endorsing a student walkout for a political cause. By supporting the 17-minute gun control demonstration, was the school now obligating itself to support any political demonstration? How about a pro-life event, asked Benzel.



Benzel was quickly reinstated, the school clearly wanting the incident to go away. However, one of Benzel's pro-life students decided to test the school's standards and petitioned the school to allow students to demonstrate against abortion in the exact same way as they had for gun control. The event was to be held on April 11, exactly one month after National Walkout Day. The school informed the student a few days before it, that they would not back the event, claiming that the difference was that the gun control event was "content neutral" as it focused on "school safety." Abortion, administrators told Benzel, is "a controversial issue."



Though the school would not officially sanction the event, about 20 pro-life students held the 17-minute event on Wednesday anyhow and around 30 community members attended in solidarity. Unlike National Walkout Day, the student-led event got little media attention... The students had to bring their own sound system, since the school would not provide one like it had for the gun control event.


Lefties love double standards almost as much as they hate free speech..

Schools and teachers should not be picking political causes to support..



It's best if they are neutral.

Public schools should not be imposing their politics on children..



In my children's school, teachers teach and keep their politics to themselves.

As they do in all PRIVATE schools.



In public schools, the teachers are PUBLIC SERVANTS, who have been militarised by the respective public service unions. It is the unions which influence teachers.

And teachers that only want to teach and not indoctrinate are outcasts with school administration and their union in some extreme cases.

The agenda has been clear in the public school system for years.  It even started when I attended public school.



The best thing that happened is I paid zero attention, and left as soon as I could (the day of my 16th birthday.)



I don't regret that decision one single bit.

The problem with public schools is teachers are not accountable to parents like their private school counterparts.

I'll give you an example, and this is from many years ago...



In Grade 10 retard class (portables, where we were sent when we refused to do our work), there was a legitimate retard in that class.  Well, he wasn't retarded, but was severely Autistic.  And by severe, I mean this guy would 'fly airplane' into walls.  Severely limited in mental cognition.



Teacher asked about what we did the previous weekend...  He went to Richmond, and replied simply about how many Chinese he saw there.



The teacher fucking flipped, and escorted him outside.  The teacher had anger in his eyes, when doing so.



I was fucking shocked at what I had seen.  That was the last memory I had, before deciding that public schools are nothing but indoctrination stations.



What the Autistic kid said was true.  Richmond is full of Chinks.  It has been for a long time.



This kid was semi-retarded, and for a teacher to get angered like that over a simple comment in a 'portable class' opened my eyes wide.



My thoughts?  Why was his statement not discussed as a class?  Open discussion and dialogue would have been an opportunity that could have arisen from his comment.



That was the last disgusting thing that I had seen, and left soon after when I legally could at age 16.

I'm sure not all school boards are like that, but unfortunately some are.

In the US, all school boards are local.  The board is elected, often without much thought by citizens, to manage the school in their names since they put up a lot of the money.  This worked a lot better in the nineteenth century when school districts were smaller and the federal government, the state government, and teachers' unions and associations were not in the picture.  In larger cities and larger districts, the competition among these forces often leave the board without much to do except find superintendents who are trusted enough by all those factions to balance them all against one another.
