Some Texas school districts don't want to show Biden's inauguration live to students

[TexasTowelie]

The Trump presidency forced schools to grapple with how to craft history lessons in real time — whether they be about impeachment, insurrection or incitement.

In the final moments of the chaotic Trump era, Texas school leaders must decide how they’ll address the beginning of the Biden administration.

While some districts’ officials are encouraging teachers to watch with their students as President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris are sworn in, others are telling them to refrain from showing live footage in class.

Plano ISD administrators, for example, have decided not to livestream the inauguration ceremony to students, while Keller ISD is allowing parents to excuse their children from watching it.

1. I Look Forward To The Firings Of Those Teachers Who Tell Students There Was Election Fraud

There was already one fired recently, I'm sure there will be more.

2. As I understand

Teachers are hesitant to show it in case tragedy happens not because election fraud.

3. FFS, what dumbasses. Allowing parents to excuse their children from watching a historic event.

I guess they can't have their kids watch the making of a history that they are subsequently going to omit from the alternate reality in which they expect their kids to live.


"You can't watch the inauguration, because I don't believe in Democrats."

"You can't watch the Weather Channel, because I don't believe in science."

"You can't look at the moon, because I don't believe we actually landed there."

5. These are probably the same ones who think they

have the right to force children who are not theirs to have their religion forced on them.

6. Remember

Remember when President Obama wanted to address the students and encourage them? At the time I was teaching 6th grade social studies and parents sent in notes to excuse their child from watching. While talking about First Ladies (pre Melania) a parent complained because I explained how Michelle Obama instructed her staff to learn all the names of the White House staff.
