Teachers behaving badly

Not an educator, but will eliminating the dep. of Ed stop teachers from talking about trans stuff?
Right?

There is this weird idea about the Dept of Ed and it has become something that it is not.

Ideally, most school stuff would be done at the state level or city level, it makes more sense that way. But for the most part the Dept of Ed just gives out money...
 
Example from my last test, subtle but maybe enough to change a few kids genders. (I purposely leave off the "false" option and then I tell them "Oh, don't worry, you all just get the free point for answering")

Question 8:

Being Trans is awesome

A: True

maybe not, but if the state is able to withhold funds or determine where the funds go rather than the federal government, perhaps some of the school superintendents or school boards will think twice before turning a blind eye to it.

@WHCSC I know from many of conversations you are a pretty conservative guy. Since you are laughing at my comment I have a question for you. First, do you think it is appropriate for a teacher to say to a elementary student "No, you can't go play jump rope. Are your parents supporting homosexuality? You need to play football with the boys like normal boys do." The problem is in a public school it is important to be nuetral on such topics. So hey Mr. WHCSC can I go play jumo rope with the girls. What do you say to that kid without overstepping? Remember you are not this kids parents.

My point is, it is a public school teachers job to teach Math, Science, English etc... if you want a specific faith taught you send them to a private school of your liking.

My kid goes to a Catholic School, because I want my morals that I teach at home to be extended by the school. Public schools are meant to be nuetral.
I wish all PS teachers were neutral like you

The federal government gives money directly to school districts? I thought it all flowed through the state anyway?

And requirements for that money. There are always strings attached to Federal money.

I have no problem eliminating those strings, but at that point why not just stop giving out any federal money towards schools and let the states entirely fund their own schools? I'm guessing the south wouldn't like that though.
