Episode 1.03 Woke Preschool vs real-world "Woke Kindergarten"


Mike and Vanessa are invited to Boyd's preschool for Grandparents Day. The teacher is a Woke Hipster missing most of his brain. Mike insults him, Boyd is expelled, Mike apologizes.

This is the only TV episode to satirize woke schools I've seen. Would they get away with it today?

Ten years later life imitates art when someone starts "Woke Kindergarten" in New York to train teachers with CRT! Makes national news. Its contract was just cancelled after the Bay Area spent 1/4 million. The school had the lowest rank in grades. Google "Woke Kindergarten" for details.

It makes me glad I never trained to become a public school teacher. On the one hand, I hated that environment and didn't want to have to deal with the kids again from the other side of the desk, no matter what grade. But then I look at what has happened to other teachers who took the path I didn't, and the results are hideously ugly.

Pretty much, it's like choosing not to go down Highway 6 (I'm throwing out a random name here) because you were once a passenger on that road as a child, and chose never to suffer the nausea and carsickness ever again. Then you watch some of your fellow generation choose to drive down that road, and they get crushed by landslides or blown off by twisters, or washed away by tsunamis, or best one of all, they crash and burn into the same pile at the end of the highway so many other foolish cars did when they turned off at a certain side-road most people avoided. You look and think, "Boy am I glad I chose not to drive down that highway again."
