Everyone that's awake to the madness must speak up in some fashion. It's our moral obligation. I have felt a particular ethical imperative since I teach middle school kids who have been brainwashed by ignorant adults for two straight years. The one thing I have focused on is getting my school back to normal, since what I witness daily is tantamount to abuse. I've now been instructed by my principal to not speak again to my class about covid or masks after I taught a lesson on George Orwell, propaganda and language, and the mask/vaccine narrative (I'm going to write about this in more detail my substack newsletter soon).

If I contradict their stance on covid protocols again I could be fired, and my contract renewal for next year is based on whether or not I comply with their demands. My administration straight up told me that I cannot tie a worldwide current event to the curriculum as a method of fostering critical thinking. They do not want kids to think critically or creatively about their own experiences; they want docile, obedient children to be taught by docile, obedient teachers. This is the state of education today in liberal schools. It's a disgrace.

Additionally, I'm the only teacher at my school to speak up about the mask mandate. Not one other person has said a single word about covering children's faces for seven hours a day. I wrote a letter to my Head of School recently, too, which I'll post here. I'm just too much of a gadfly for these corona-hysterics to handle anymore, I guess.

How I'm getting through it - I have made a deliberate choice to face the future without fear. I can genuinely say that I feel stronger than ever before. It's as if I have put on a suit of armour but I still need to work on emotional resilience - walks, appreciation of nature, being glad to wake up each day. I've signed up to a few substacks rather than using social media. I've started praying and last night came to a profound realisation that we really are in a fight against evil. Evil thrives on discord and misery. I shall be the opposite. I speak up where I can. I attend freedom marches where I can. I have 5 kids and 2 grandkids to protect - I'm in battle mode.
