A schools superintendent speaks with Rolling Stone about the Republican attorney general’s witch hunt to expose “trans-sanity” in public schools
When Indiana’s Republican Attorney General Todd Rokita launched Eyes on Education — an official state website that he says seeks to expose “socialist indoctrination” of students and “trans-sanity” in schools — educators targeted by the site were caught completely off guard.
Paul White is the superintendent of New Prairie United Schools, outside of South Bend. “I found out when it became live,” he tells Rolling Stone. But when he saw why his district was among those highlighted for supposedly unacceptable policies, White was confused. “The document that they had on their website related to our school system was no longer in use. It had only been used for about 60 days. And it had been replaced for almost two years now.”
Rokita’s office has claimed that the “objectionable curricula, policies, or programs affecting children” that are posted to its site are fully reviewed and verified. But White insists that is hogwash: “There was zero due diligence,” he says. This lack of considered process may be a pattern.
I did my duty, I snitched on Gary School for Cats. Maybe next I’ll see about writing a script to submit more concerning school behavior. Would be a shame if their entire website was filled with nonsense.
It’d at least show they’re not filtering shit.
Not if it brings down their website it won’t. Would be an accident of course.
I wrote a long letter for the Snitch site last time it was posted informing them of the insidiousness of that no-pants-wearing pervert Winnie the Pooh and how much I disagreed with it being available in the school library.
