What Has Happened To Our Schools Is Disgusting

I went to a small Lutheran college and graduated with a degree in Library Science. I left for a job in a small town school district. I was surprised at the animosity I ran into by the staff there. Being unapologetic heterosexual and religious I was frozen out by the powers to be. I was young and had support from family and I got out of there as fast as my legs could carry me.

Fifteen years later I am well married, kids in school, part time at the high school library. What I experienced as a new graduate is alive and well in schools, except on steroids. God forbid that you want sex with a man, you want to take his hand in marriage, you look forward to your new married name, and announce you're pregnant. Fortunately my principal supports me and keeps these views out of the classroom, but he can't keep this narrative out of the dialog.

I don't support the union, I won't be a member of their positions. When I was in high school I was definitely better educated, I spend way too much time with remedial reading. I have to make a choice, send my kids to private school. I can't ruin them for life, leaving them in this school district.
