E51: A local teacher's teaching style. Good or bad?
I was given video showing how a local teacher is conducting his civics class. This is unedited audio and the video has been edited only to try and protect the identity of the teacher. It is clear what the message is. Is this right or wrong? Should safeguards be put into place to monitor/audit the public classroom? Law enforcement is under this same scrutiny. Public officials are also recorded in council meetings. Why not teachers? #stopcriticalracetheory #stopcriticalracetheorycoalition #backtheblue #backtheblue💙 #liberalssuck #redwave
