At one time, that behavior between an adult and a child was called "Grooming". The fact that it takes place in a classroom and not a bathroom or basement does not change the fact that it is against the law. It should be prosecuted, not debated.

[brianrajala]

This school control is way out of line!

[dawnemile]

No one should send their children to public school any longer.

[BarkyMctreeface]

Thomas Sowell is a national treasure.
Rogan should have him on asap.

The relationship between Parents and children is the first place where children learn about love and caring about others.

[ARLimon]

I taught my children when they were little that anyone that told them to never tell your parents to tell me or their Dad immediately 💯! My boys were born in 1980, 1981 and 1990!

[physeter]

The fact that we must pay taxes to indoctrinate our own children on this subject matter without our knowledge is outrageous. Time to start researching private schools.

[heystarfish]

We parents see a lot of the results of these educators in our adult children. Kids today are growing up to be anything but the Lord had in mind and parental estrangement is growing widely because of it. These educators have driven our children off the rails with their own personal agendas that conflict with everything us parents have done to provide them with a moral upbringing. The harm these educators have caused in these young minds is incalculable.

[lsporter]

This sounds like a very negative and dangerous situation. A way must be found to reverse it. Great video.

[esperhickman]

I've noticed that people I knew who works at any government sectors doesn't like to talk about politics.

[matt]

This is a monumental problem more people need to address

[quercusrubra]

We say the problems with government education in the 1970s and homeschooled our children. It is astonishing what the "educators" do to children.

[nancywhitehead]

Education is for basics, it has gotten out of control.

[Wil_Liam]

That all sounds like preda tory behavior to me, especially the instructing kids not to tell their parents !!

[raulthepig]

"Why have we had such a decline in moral climate? I submit to you that a major factor has been a change in the philosophy which has been dominant, a change from belief in individual responsibility to belief in social responsibility. If you adopt the view that a man is not responsible for his own behavior, that somehow society is responsible, why should he seek to make his behavior good?"
Milton Friedman

[sapelesteve]

Well stated and so true in todays society. Enough

Re: Kids

Remember when Catholic priests were (properly) persecuted for the behavior of teachers we see in government schools of the past 15-20 years? (Never mind the political indoctrination of the past 100 years.)

[Norm]

Either don't have children or home-school them. The public schools are a disgrace, and so are some private schools.

[ethanmiller]

I listened to the book "I am Legend" read by the same voice. I always get on edge when I hear him now. Great book.

I was fortunate enough that the schools in Utah aren't (or weren't, it's been a decade since elementary school) quite there yet. Or, perhaps, they were, but I was intelligent enough to ignore these things. Unfortunately, a friend of mine did not fare as well, and is now a "Communist-Leninist-Maoist" defending the violent acts of Chairman Mao, and a revolutionist seeking to revolt against the United States government to instate a totalitarian communist rule. He used to want to be a business partner with me, and we were going to investigate production of biofuels. Now he wants to work in preservation work for wild cats (???). How far the difference between us now....
