My dad is maga. The reason he would say is the teachers union protects bad teachers and just shuffles them around.

Don’t agree with it but that’s the talking point.

Honestly, if someone finds the original post and "inspect element" to change this to police, it might be enough to get a reaction out of maga.

Well, you can't choose your parents...

he seems to be confusing it with catholic priests? they shuffle them around for sure, and also any evangelical pastors too. "terrible teachers" usually get booted from the industry quite quickly.

Are people really upset at... bad teachers? with everything else going on?? Like I also had a few bad teachers as a kid, but I also had a future with a biosphere that can sustain life. Maybe we should focus on the actually existential one here.

No maga is focused on things that really matter instead, like the 5 or 6 trans women in sports

Where "bad teacher" is "teacher who taught the kids critical thinking and science so they started asking uncomfortable questions".

I think he's confused them with police unions.
