As Maryland and other States in the Country Drift Toward More Progressive Programs for Children, Parents Have a Decision to Make
n Maryland, we know what is coming. Much like California, New York, Oregon, Washington and other crazy blue states, parents should be able to foretell the actions that will be taken against their children by the Maryland government in 2023.
-
Recruit businesses that support LGBTQ and abortion from Conservative states to come to Maryland. He refers to those states as “far right.” So this means he wants to bring “far left” businesses here.
-
Create a huge network of state supported childcare facilities for parents. This means a child could be in the hands of the state from birth to adulthood. He even uses that as a slogan in his education plan.
-
Decrease the credentialing requirements for high demand STEM ( Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) jobs. Credentials that once required four years to complete will reduce demands to two years at free community colleges. (Can’t wait for that Engineer who has had two years of training to design a bridge, can you?)
-
Free Community College. Enough said. This is already starting with the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future providing free community college dual enrollment for any high school student. This includes tuition, materials, and transportation, all covered by the local district and state. Maybe that sounds great to you, but who will pay the bill? Also, when Community Colleges are funded by the State, they are CONTROLLED by the State.
-
Focus on helping Black families with special programs and funding. Without going into specifics, the idea here is race based eligibility for help. So, if you are not Black and are poor or underserved, too bad. One of the most racist points in this proposal is that Moore includes specific funding for formerly incarcerated people. This is included in a proposal for Black families. See any problem there? He assumes that Black people have been incarcerated. (Heads up, wherever you see the term “disproportionally” realize that it is a rationale for quotas.)
-
Promise quotas for Women too. (Except he doesn’t talk about formerly incarcerated folks here. Wonder why?)
-
Pander to the LGBTQ community. He’s going all in on their issues and for “gender affirming” care, especially to our children in the public schools. This will include graphic sex education for children as young as third grade. All kinds of sexual practices will be presented and promoted to kids. Parents MAY be able to opt out, but this is unclear.
Now, specifically for schools and our children:
I didn’t vote for him, and all who did are to blame for this coming storm.
Oh NO! Here we go again with a duplicate of Obama and Obiden! Just what we do not need! How could anyone have voted for him if they care at all about our state and our children?
Cuts and reductions are coming. It will start.at.the Fed level and make it to the local levels. Wes wants moore eh? He wont get it.
If you do not pull your children out of the state run prisons for children known as public schools, you do NOT love your children.
4:48 – I do t know where you get off thinking that those who have children in the public schools don’t love them. That is an exceptionally extreme statement, and it clearly shows a callous and and arrogant mindset. You do what you want with your children, and I’ll raise mine, but keep your fat yap shut about anything having to do with someone else’s children.
so you think exposing your kids to fights, left wing indoctrination, poor quality education, and a soul crushing system developed specifically to keep children subservient mind slaves is okay? I repeat my statement.
And your solution is???? Private school is cost prohibitive – I have a good job but even with extra hours and a second job I can’t afford private school (I am a single parent). As for poor quality, I assume you have children in the public school system and have witnessed ‘poor quality’. I further assume that you spoke with school administrators about this. I have yet to see what you deem poor quality – It may exist, but I have not seen it. As for a soul crushing system, would you care to specifically define what is soul crushing and back it up with indisputable fact? As for they fighting, it does occur, and I don’t want my child exposed to it anymore than anyone else does. However,, this is more of a code of conduct enforcement issue and while the perception is that some schools are totally out of control, the reality is that while events do occur, it’s not like it’s happening every 20 seconds. When it does occur, I use this as an opportunity to talk with my children, not only about their expectations from me, but how I expect them to address issues if a situation personally occurs to them. As my children have attend public schools from their start of school in K (they are now in 10th and 12th respectively), they have had zero issues. Some might call that lucky, but the reality is that I am an involved parent. I don’t know 12:35 if you have children in the public schools, or even if you have children at all, but whitewashing the entire school system for the actions of a few is more than reprehensible, its extreme. While you are entitled to your own thoughts, splashing extreme viewpoints in this (or any other space) is irresponsible.
Dear all – 12:35 knows everything about education, and it isn’t worth arguing with him. I’ll bet he even finished 9th grade!
