Indoctrination Factories

Perhaps this at-home schooling thing has a bright side - parents are suddenly more involved and they're a tiny bit unhappy with the brainwashing going on.

Example 1 - Steinmetz HS on the north side (click for larger version):


Anyone have the teacher's name?

Example 2 - Taft HS, where more than a few cops send their kids (again, click for larger version):


If you are a teacher and your students know your politics, you have failed as an educator. You are supposed to teach the kids how to read, comprehend, research and think....not what to think. There are often two or more sides to any issue.

Anyone think a cop's kid is going to get a fair shake in any of these classes? Or any kid who takes an alternative view to the terrorism inherent in any of these "movements"?

If you try to have kids in the classroom, she and her marxist shit bags will call for a strike. How's it feel to have your government provided babysitters undermining your authority and your country? Well, hell, if you don't like it, tough shit, there's nothing you can do about it.

How about the teacher at Mt Greenwood school on the first day who felt she needed to clear the air about BLM and the riots of Chicago and how they are caused by current events caused by systemic racism in America, police violence toward minorities and radical right agendas. I love the principal as do most of us but she pretty much said that she is only one of a few teachers in the school who have such extreme viewpoints but she is protected by the CTU and it is her time in her class during the first 15 minutes of class when they have open time to discuss the day and events of what they are going to do. She also said this teacher is very heavy with CTU and isn’t going anywhere and that she is making waves because the Mt Greenwood administration refuses to teach the John Burge and Laquan McDonald material which she said she is trying to get changed because the CTU agrees that it will soon not be up to the schools but mandatory as they are going to take that discretion away from the principals of the schools.

When I went to school no teacher would talk about their personal political views. Everyone used to know that was a hot topic and not what school was for. People PLEASE pay attention to your kids. They're getting spoonfed this type of thing everywhere in school and outside of school on the internet as well. Now it's more important than ever to monitor and talk with your kids. Or else you'll end up with an unrecognizable 20 something year old who hates your very existence.

Aside from the blatant propaganda and obvious bias, the teacher in me couldn't help but notice teacher #1 claiming "our economy is officially in a depression" just before saying "some may be wondering if the country will eventually dip into a depression" - which is it? I wonder if anyone will call him/her out on it.

The economy is in a depression? What a crock. These maroon teachers and anyone else peddling this manure either are outright liars or are completely illiterate when it comes to basic economics. Maybe both. And these clowns are responsible for “educating” children? You are absolutely right, parents have got to become aware and take these matters into their own hands.

I taught at a CPS high school as a language teacher for two years. I made a conscious decision not to get into political or personal issues because I had seen how that would go off the rails. The result was that I had pretty good classes. If you don’t cater to those instincts in the kids, they don’t miss talking about that stuff because it just brings everyone down. There were the “regulars” who had no impulse control and were harder to work with, but even then, I think it’s a myth you have to make everything about their lives to make them behave. There were definitely other teachers that felt the way I did too.

Checking in on certain former students over the last two years, I saw things go off the rails. Starting as juniors, students began defining themselves as activists because of CPS chaos. They joined the teachers at the strike (as pawns). Pictures of them holding a multi-day sit-in in the school’s hallway (with school permission, during school hours, losing instructional time obviously-but activism requires sacrifices right?) over a stray comment a teacher made to a student which made every student dig up old grievances with that old grump (who was usually right). I saw posts about them going out to protest for Floyd and give instructions on what to wear, how to wash out tear gas and what to do if they got arrested. It was hugely disappointing into see so many of their current teachers applauding them and/or going with them.

Not enough teachers are giving push-back, and administrators don’t tell students no. But it’s a witch hunt and no one wants to be accused by a hysterical child (who will cause a student uprising) who will assuredly be backed by a cowardly administration (including CPS and the Union- neither of which can be counted on to back an innocent teacher in times like these) of violating their personhood. It’s a roiling mess. I’m glad to be out of it now.

This wild-eyed "activism" is nothing new. A lot of them are On A Mission, and figure that their job gives not only access to children, but an opportunity - a mandate! - to indoctrinate them.

I think it fair to say that one must be vigilant against not only pedophiles, but Communists in such positions. This woman at Taft looks to have come here by way of the Shining Path.

Some years ago, I was quite offended when the grade-schoolers were given the "activity" of generating letters to city officials regarding construction expenditures of public funds.

Teacher put up examples of how these letters should be written - "We need a new Oriole Park Library or we will all just dry up and not be able to learn anything ever again. Right now, please." - and addressed.

Some of these people really do have a variety of agendas going. At Sulzer, I once filled out an interlibrary loan form for a hard-to-find book - and the CPL librarian CHARGED ME $1.00. I did stare at her...

...and when later I checked there was no such fee. The woman could have been a plain old city employee/thief, but I figured this to be a privately-levied Tax On White Men, to be spent on pinatas or lithographed cardboard burros - something along those lines.

So enjoy "Antifa;" another empty chip bag blowing down the street of history...

Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Nelly.......Part 1

Shouldn't the Steinmetz students be afraid of their own teachers and administrators, especially their principal? The kiddos need the CPD to protect them from their in-school 'not so' stranger dangers?

In 2011, current Steinmetz HS Principal Jaime Jaramillo, Jr., then the school's Assistant Principal, was charged in 2011 for choking and dragging a female student. CPS settled with the student for $10K and the charges went away.

https://chicago.cbslocal.com/2011/01/20/cps-assistant-principal-accused-of-attacking-female-student-in-hallway/

There are court documents and video that need to be re-examined into in this matter again as this incident went away fast, including (according to CPS records) no discipline meted out to Jaramillo and others involved in the incident. (Danny Solis was said to be involved here)

CPD said this video was destroyed:

The security video for CPS Event Detail Report #678534, submitted on Thursday, January 13, 2011 for an event on either Tuesday, January 11, 2011 or Wednesday January 12, 2011. More specifics are: A CPS Investigative Memorandum was created on March 14, 2011 for this event/incident with File #5134 and sent to James Ciesil from Michael Mahone with: Subject: Jaime Jaramillo, Type of Incident: Physical Abuse, School: Steinmetz High School, Region: 1, Area: 26.



Also, in 2011, two teachers at Steinmetz were also involved incidents against women:

- PE teacher Eric Stummer spit in a female students' face and called her the c-word, no discipline.

- Math Teacher James Marlin Saunders was arrested for domestic battery in Aurora, see attached.

Saunders also is living in Aurora and violating the CPS Residency Policy as he was hired as a Chicago resident and then moved to Aurora. That's seen as circumventing the policy. Saunders needed to be hired before 11-20-1996 with the old CPS Residency Policy and could live anywhere.. Since, he wasn't, he needed to be initially hired as a non-Chicago resident and get a residency waiver. He wasn't and doesn't have a waiver.

Saunders also was teaching Computer Science last year and doesn't have the qualifications to teach it. He's by license a Math teacher with a Social Studies teaching endorsement, neither qualify him to teach Computer Science.

4. Vanessa Longoria, Special Education Classroom Asst (SECA). Current whereabouts unknown. Nessa was trading texts and emails with students while on an overnight field trip.

5. Luis Jaime Lopez*, Security Guard, no longer CPS employee.....let go by CPS in July, 2020 for sex talk with female students.

6. Kirsten Gassman**, World Language Teacher, no longer CPS employee and let go In June, 2020 (CPD mugshot attached). Read tribune story below as she was charged with battery for breaking her gf's (ex-CPS student) jaw and stabbing her in the leg.

I am a retired teacher. I remember taking a class that specifically taught that educators were NEVER to imply, instruct or support your religious or political beliefs to students. Your were never to "interpret" the text and present it with your own beliefs. If we have taken prayer out of school and no longer can say the pledge of Allegiance whose beliefs are being pushed out?? Freedom of speech has been bent into a form of a poitical act. Either you agree with the lefts agenda or you are racist. So glad I got out when I did because I would not be able to stomach these young idiots in the teachers lounge.

I am a 54-year-old guy in my last year of college. In my classes, politics are never mentioned. Ever. The classes stick to science and the actual work to be performed by the student. Where is this little bit of educational heaven? Agriculture. The Professors are usually farmer's kids. They are smart and sensible. No nonsense.
All the useless fucks that will never produce anything of value stick to the "Community Organizer" programs.
When I worked through my Criminal Justice Degree, the Professors were semi-retarded Libs that had never left academia. We were forced to draw correlations between street crime and "Global Warming". Maybe they should stick to reality based classes, but the won't.

"If you are a teacher and your students know your politics, you have failed as an educator." - SCC

Let that be carved in the stone lintel over the school doors.

That is a level of integrity, of fairness, of professionalism that is not only unknown to many today, but was unknown half a century ago.

The rot is deep-seated and profound. In our church, I was given to contend with "liberation theology" - sudden guitar masses and Che Guevara banners and firebrand young visiting priests to relate to us some conflict in South America.

Even at age 12, I snickered when news reached us that one of their patched-up light planes had "been lost" over the Amazon - probably scattering thousands of Mao's famous "Little Red Books" into the triple canopy for the macacques to puzzle at.

I still remember English class when word came of a politico-religious assassination. How Teacher bawled. "Write what you feel," she sobbed.

Dave and I looked at each other across the aisle and rolled our eyes. Not wanting to actually kill Teacher with any additional shock, we both wrote what SHE obviously felt, and turned it in.

That's OK; we wanted to graduate. As Solzhenitsyn - who simply wanted to live - said, "Paper will take anything."

Point being - your "indoctrination factories" were hammering away - working three shifts - more than half a century ago.

Sorry to say it, but Ms. Valencia is prime evidence why America’s states NEED to go bankrupt. Our massive debt, and massive money-printing is simply funding hundreds of thousands of socialist drones in government, education, social-welfare.

These are hostile m-fer’s. And on top of all the rhetoric, IL high schools are still being routinely kept accredited.
Social issue posters?
A poster and a T-shirt slogan created by a teenybopper will fix the economy and prevent a depression.
Has to be another one of those studied abroad, online certified, StayAtHome “art” teachers. Those are the ones with dozens of bumper stickers slathered on the back of the Prius.

They’re churning out protesters, half will go on to become teachers, half will become politicians and half will become govmint dependents, or at least think they are. A few students speaking out about these divisive orders disguised as curriculum can make a difference.

This is nothing new... as a CPS student decades ago I had one teacher openly teaching that the ultra-communist Khmer Rouge were good for Cambodia, despite killing 2 million out of a population of 8 million. That kind of talk was just the tip of the iceberg. We said the "pledge of allegiance to Africa" at assemblies, and so on. None of it bothered me because I was grounded in the CHURCH. Keep your kids in church, people, and live your faith, and the schools won't ruin them.

How about the teacher at Mt Greenwood school on the first day who felt she needed to clear the air about BLM and the riots of Chicago and how they are caused by current events caused by systemic racism in America, police violence toward minorities and radical right agendas. I love the principal as do most of us but she pretty much said that she is only one of a few teachers in the school who have such extreme viewpoints but she is protected by the CTU and it is her time in her class during the first 15 minutes of class when they have open time to discuss the day and events of what they are going to do. She also said this teacher is very heavy with CTU and isn’t going anywhere and that she is making waves because the Mt Greenwood administration refuses to teach the John Burge and Laquan McDonald material which she said she is trying to get changed because the CTU agrees that it will soon not be up to the schools but mandatory as they are going to take that discretion away from the principals of the schools.

First of all my kids went to Mt Greenwood school and I love the principal. That being said there are a couple of $hit-bird teachers there that she cant get rid of cause of the union. The reason the $hit-birds like Mt Greenwood is that the kids are mostly well behaved and they can cruise on auto pilot in a safe school. (Kind of like the the 1's on the job who go to 018/001/022/016 to get away from their fellow 1's) The principal is a former marine and is not a member of the CTU. She doesn't have to allow the Burge lesson plan in the school and the CTU cant make her. I cant speak for other schools but Mt Greenwood is Pro Police and Pro Fire.

There are a number of CPD officers who in the past taught as CPS subs. At old Calumet High school before it was converted to a charter school I knew several African American officers who did this. They did not inform their students that they were sworn CPD officers and really did not declare it to other teachers in the school. I wonder if CPS would even now allow a sworn officer to be a sub? The assignment given at Steinmetz raises some questions about administrative supervision over teachers and not just the politics of the teachers. I would bet no assistant principal or the principal Jaime G. Jaramillo Jr. has even discussed this on line assignment with the teacher who sent it out.

It’s not just her!!! This year they have 4 “new” teachers who were previous CPS teachers who might as well just have stamped on their head “antifa”. CTU is getting a bigger footprint in that school and they are doing it on purpose as they are extremely anti mt Greenwood Neighborhood and the believe this neighborhood is a racist cult. Leave us alone. And it is true that CTU is pushing for ALL schools to teach the police torture crap across the board and don’t believe that some “white” schools should omit it. O’Shea surprisingly has been fighting to keep changes from happening to this school but there isn’t much you can do with Lightfoot and the current CTU.

Time to re-engage with the local Catholic / Hebrew Schools. The indoctrination there is pre-vetted, and has built civilizations over thousands of years. Public schools have become a hive of fundamentalist thought, skirting the edges of teaching a 'religion' of sorts.

Subject: English Curriculum shifts for SY 2020-2021


Hello everyone,

I wanted to reach out and let you all know that I am asking all of you for your guidance and energy for the curriculum changes outlined below. I have directed Edwina, and asked Michelle, to work with your teams to ensure that our curriculum enhances non-white voices through purposeful digital and non-digital text selection. Our curriculum should set the tone of diversity, multiple perspectives, Black voices, Latinx voices, Asian voices, Indigenous voices, LGBTQ+ voices, Womyn's voices, and non-western voices and therefore, should have a balance of perspectives where students read no more than 20% of white voices. It is also imperative that we read and discuss Black, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian, Womyn, and LGBTQ+ protest literature as well as the circumstance and context of their arguments within our curriculum for all of our students to examine.

I believe our efforts to purposefully reflect, research, and implement this shift will enrich our students’ literary experience. I am asking that we focus on the first unit as an opportunity to set the tone of diversity. It is an amazing opportunity to take a step forward and
include the excluded histories and stories of people who have been historically silenced.

Additionally, when topics such as slavery are discussed, please be aware and sensitive to the fact that people enslaved other people. We should respectfully separate a person’s identity from their circumstance and refer to people who were subjected to this abhorrent time of history properly as “enslaved people.”

I appreciate your time, energy, and effort as you continue to work towards making this a reality.

I know that many, if not all, of you have questions regarding the start of next school year. I will reach out again in terms of remote learning and blended learning when the district plans become finalized. At this point we as a school have taken no steps in our programming due to the draft nature of CPS' announcement. I hope that you are able to find time for you and your household to recharge.

Sincerely,


Brian Tennison, M.A., M.Ed., NBCT

It used to start in the colleges. Now, it's in grade school.

These same teachers HATE home schooling and yet the schools mostly (in bigger cities) are closed. The kids are at home. This is a sad fact.

You're better of encouraging him to read books on his own and enroll him in a trade school to learn plumbing, electrical, welding, mechanics, or IT/Telcom. He'll be able to graduate into a trade earning good money with minomal to zero student debt, and be able to charge a fortune because 90% of peers his age went to public schools and indoctrination colleges, but can't change a flat tire, windshield wiper, or install a light fixture. Meanwhile your son will have a skill set that he can go anywhere in the world and find work.

If we've learned anything from this E-learning during Covid, it's how easily these teachers can be replaced. You can find any subject you want to learn about on YouTube for free, and if they want to have kids learn the same standardized lessons, they can be taught by one person, to millions of kids online. If parents want to enroll their kids in private schools, or charter schools that's fine, but the parents pay for that hands on, physical education in a brick and mortar school. A few of my nieces and nephews attend NY public schools, and they're dumb as shit on just about every subject, yet they are honor roll kids who bring home A's & B's on their report cards.

As a former retired CPS teacher I did not partake in the political indoctrination wave. I found it a diservice and an unethical abuse of power to dictate to my students my political opinion.

There are many commie/social warriors in the system.

Most parents of CPS students are libs. I had to be very careful not to give any opinion or clue of being conservative. I never would've retired.

So Valencia fits perfectly well with what the parents want. CPS parents have alot of power. What Valencia did to her students is abhorrent and is the bullying of a minor.

Catholic schools aren’t free of it. Take it from me bc I teach at one now outside the city- HS only. There was a candle lit for for George Floyd and Jacob Blake and every day in the morning prayers written in the announcements someone requests something said about racism, hate, and letting POCs heal in peace (no one suggests not shooting eachother-anyway). Fact is that private schools aren’t cheap and you get a mix of conservatives and liberals so definitely not everyone is on board but it’s the admin that signs off on it. I had some kids come to me after the “examine your white privilege” meditation last year (they stared at an oppression wheel and were told to write down some deep thoughts- they could share if they wanted but there was dead silence) and tell me they didn’t like it. Our school will never (god I hope not) post a BLM fist because it would alienate too many conservative parents but we have some incredibly woke faculty and staff, yes.

Subject: English Curriculum shifts for SY 2020-2021


Hello everyone,

I wanted to reach out and let you all know that I am asking all of you for your guidance and energy for the curriculum changes outlined below. I have directed Edwina, and asked Michelle, to work with your teams to ensure that our curriculum enhances non-white voices through purposeful digital and non-digital text selection. Our curriculum should set the tone of diversity, multiple perspectives, Black voices, Latinx voices, Asian voices, Indigenous voices, LGBTQ+ voices, Womyn's voices, and non-western voices and therefore, should have a balance of perspectives where students read no more than 20% of white voices. It is also imperative that we read and discuss Black, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian, Womyn, and LGBTQ+ protest literature as well as the circumstance and context of their arguments within our curriculum for all of our students to examine.

I believe our efforts to purposefully reflect, research, and implement this shift will enrich our students’ literary experience. I am asking that we focus on the first unit as an opportunity to set the tone of diversity. It is an amazing opportunity to take a step forward and
include the excluded histories and stories of people who have been historically silenced.

Additionally, when topics such as slavery are discussed, please be aware and sensitive to the fact that people enslaved other people. We should respectfully separate a person’s identity from their circumstance and refer to people who were subjected to this abhorrent time of history properly as “enslaved people.”

I appreciate your time, energy, and effort as you continue to work towards making this a reality.

I know that many, if not all, of you have questions regarding the start of next school year. I will reach out again in terms of remote learning and blended learning when the district plans become finalized. At this point we as a school have taken no steps in our programming due to the draft nature of CPS' announcement. I hope that you are able to find time for you and your household to recharge.

Sincerely,


Brian Tennison, M.A., M.Ed., NBCT

I recognize one police name that is not a common name on that list.

How about the teacher at Mt Greenwood school on the first day who felt she needed to clear the air about BLM and the riots of Chicago and how they are caused by current events caused by systemic racism in America, police violence toward minorities and radical right agendas. I love the principal as do most of us but she pretty much said that she is only one of a few teachers in the school who have such extreme viewpoints but she is protected by the CTU and it is her time in her class during the first 15 minutes of class when they have open time to discuss the day and events of what they are going to do. She also said this teacher is very heavy with CTU and isn’t going anywhere and that she is making waves because the Mt Greenwood administration refuses to teach the John Burge and Laquan McDonald material which she said she is trying to get changed because the CTU agrees that it will soon not be up to the schools but mandatory as they are going to take that discretion away from the principals of the schools.

Out her! What is her name? We can march in front of the school with protest signs. The media publicizes every cop's home address when involved in a shooting incident. These goddamn Communist Teachers Union members need to be held accountable. Let the union move her to a more "socialist" friendly school. PUT HER NAME ON THIS BLOG. I'LL ORGANIZE THE PROTEST! I had dealings with Jesse Sharkey when I worked up north. I would like nothing more than to bring the fight to him. Lets see how these asshats respond when we start fighting back.

So, along with promoting censorship, Lane Tech's principal has a racist teacher problem. Apparently, the Hispanic teachers have been torpedoeing White students and loudly calling them entitled, selfish, and brats.

So, Hispanic leftist socialist teachers making between $75,000- $105,000 for sitting on their rumps at home for the pandemic, while 20% of their students popped into virtual school are calling the Whote students entitled and selfish? STFU!!!

Iterate! Iterate! Iterate! Like a riveting hammer, until you run to escape the noise.

Thank you. I am thinking about recording my lessons and posting on You Tube. Just to encourage other parents. Of course those who can. I am seriously done with this indoctrination and waste of billions of dollars at CPS. I have to be at home with kids during school hours anyway.
Most of us, I believe, can easily with some help give our children better education than CPS. At least they won't be bullied for having and expressing their opinions.
It is a challenge, I admit. I am not without doubts. But I intend to bring to this world two independent individuals. Who know right and wrong.
I was shocked by SCC's post. And I want to say something to all those kids who have parents working for Police: I am truly sorry some idiots try to judge your parents by the job they are doing. They have not slightest idea what American Values are. Where and how american way of life was made. Be proud of who you are and grow up knowing for your Mom and Dad you are THE most important in the world. And you have right to be who you are.
To you guys: Thank you for incredible job you are trying to do in this city. Be safe. Take good care of yourself. If you have any thoughts your work is worthless, just drop it. Those who make you think like that - they are.

Mayer v. Monroe County Cmty. Sch. Corp. - Teachers do not have the constitutional right to introduce their own political views to students, “but must stick to the prescribed curriculum.” It’s time for parents to start making complaints citing this case to higher-ups. And this needs to go above principals-take the complaints to network chiefs.

Stephen Ngo is now Division Head of English and Social Studies, at Proviso West.

Something is rotten in Denmark( at 3030 N. Mobile Ave.)

Stephen Ngo resigned after the 2017-18 school year as Steinmetz principal and left making $152K with two years left on his contract to take a History position at Proviso West HS and two division head positions. The new positions pay him a little over 1/2 his principal salary at Steinmetz.

Now, with Ngo gone there's been a rise in truancy, out of school suspensions, and absenteeism rates. And, dropping have been the freshmen path to graduation, ACT scores, and 4 and 5 year grad rates (high 80's into the mid 60's) from the end of 2018 until the end of 2019.

Could Ngo have been cooking the attendance and grade books, including marking students as present or excused absences when they were suspended or absent, allowing no or 1/4 of students in the bldg the last week of school while all employees collected their pay to do nothing? Or, was it that Steinmetz enrollment dropped 850 students under his time?

In Ngo's last speech as principal, he gave out three pieces of advice to seniors. One of them was "don't pooh where you work or go to school." Most likely, a reference to his staff and teachers filing complaints about him and what was going on at Steinmetz.

Stay tuned as Steinmetz is under investigation by CPS right now.

Sunday Evening, I get an email blast from Taft’s principal. He talks about registering to vote and goes on to virtue signal to the students that he votes Democrat (no surprise) and that his proudest moment was voting for Barack Hussain Obama in 2008! I suppose the teachers have to go into full indoctrination mode from here on out. I’m waiting for him to start telling illegals to vote too. He first voted in 1980 and the only time he was proud was 28 years later?? He sounds like Michelle stating it’s the first time she’s ever been proud of her country!

“Principal Grishaber’s Message:

Let me start by saying Wow. Our attendance last week was phenomenal. Please keep up the good work. I know some of you are gifted when it comes to using computers and software. If you think you can help your Teacher please offer your help to them. After all, we are TEAM TAFT.

To all of our Eagles who are 18 years old or older, I want you all to register to vote. You should vote every year but this being a Presidential election it is especially important. The first year I voted was in 1980. I think the proudest Presidential vote I cast was for Barack Obama in 2008. There’s an old saying that says if you don’t vote you shouldn’t complain. Here is the website to register to vote. We want 100% of our eligible Eagles registered and voting in November!”

"...I'm a 54 year old guy in my last year of college..."

I guess there is no hurry. I was on the twelve year plan for a four year degree myself.
