This Teacher Was Discussing Hurricanes When A Student Spouted A GOP Conspiracy Theory, And Waaaaay Too Many Teachers Can Relate
A lot of teachers responded to the post by sharing similar experiences of students questioning things like evolution or climate change in learning environments because of their parents, or political affiliations. Here's what they said:"Hey, right now AP US History teachers have to explain how FEMA is not 'woke' and controlled 'by the deep state,' as there are groups attacking relief efforts. I hate this timeline.
"I once got called to the carpet for teaching fourth-graders that climate change can be from both natural and human causes, and that the trend shows that our average temperature is causing the glaciers to melt. You know, science standards and all. Got accused by some parents of inciting panic through liberal indoctrination."
"Stick to the facts and only use credible sources. I had a student write on a multiple choice test that they didn't believe in climate change . Years later the student told my daughter how embarrassed she is now that she recognizes climate change."
