Wisconsin Teacher Hangs Poster That Says ‘If Your Parents Aren’t Accepting of Your Identity, I’m Your Mom Now’
“According to local reporting, other parents discovered that more teachers in the district had hung the same poster on their doors.”
This is unreal. Liberals mock parents for being concerned and wanting to know what’s going on in schools, and so often the schools prove the parents are right to be concerned.

School hangs poster on the door that says, “I’m Your Mom Now”
These two stories are about Eau Claire, Wisconsin but the truth is, they are not that out of the ordinary. Yes, both rank high on the egregious scale in terms of tone and disrespect but on substance, they pretty much mirror what is happening in public and private schools all over the country, including in my own backyard.
During a teacher training on “safe spaces” (omg, the irony) in this Wisconsin district, one slide was so jarring that several in attendance leaked it to a local media outlet. It said:
Remember, parents are not entitled to know their kids’ identities. That knowledge must be earned.
The National Desk invited me on this morning to discuss the story:
In the same district, parents became concerned when they discovered the poster shown below was hanging up on a classroom door. Not only is it covered in the LGBT support colors but it states,
If your parents aren’t accepting of your identity, I’m your mom now.
According to local reporting, other parents discovered that more teachers in the district had hung the same poster on their doors. The principal, who seemed to be caught off guard by all of this, said he was “looking into concerns over this poster.”

Thank goodness for homeschooling.
In addition, they omitted the comma after the word identity.
Too bad the first three words of the headline doesn’t tell the entire story.

Heh.
I find it interesting that the poster shows a bear with the child. There is a subset of “the gay community” called Bears. It started up as a push back against the pretty-boy / swish types.
As for the poster and the teachers putting them up: the parents need to march into classrooms and drag the teacher out by force, if the district refuses to act, or hides behind “it’s the union”.
I’ve played this broken record before and will once more: disband your school districts.
If you as a teacher don’t accept my parental authority,
I’m your worst nightmare now.
I didn’t know about bears.
Great, my son’s nickname since birth has been Bear. Ugh.
That does mean he’s tagged with the bad things you are imagining.
Do you recall “Bear Week” celebration in Provincetown that was allowed to take place un-regulated during COVID because “politics,” and turned out to be a spreader event? Them’s those.
Just guessing, but I think revenue was the consideration. Not a pressure group.
Maybe. But out here in Red America, we had a lot of local festivals that meant serious revenue shortfall for local towns cancelled for COVID during that same period.
Understood. And although I am one of those “bears”, I find the exemption the group received to be highly unfair.
Trust me on this: I don’t support any of the lobby or pressure groups that CLAIM to speak on my behalf, because they do not.
This is Marxism in practice which aims at destroying traditional morality. The options are fighting this metastasizing influence locally and politically at the school board level, homeschooling or sending your children to a religious school that is anchored both in traditional moral values and provides a sound secular education as well
Indoctrinating your children into Progressivism and waiting for them to grow up to act perverted isn’t enough. They need them to become perverted early, or some of them might get away.
AKA ‘grooming’
And, ALL gays get tarred with the pedophile label. We aren’t.
It’s Progressives doing the grooming, not homosexuals. That might seem counter-intuitive for some, but it’s the truth.
(Yes, pedophiles groom. Some homosexuals are pedophiles. But all full-in Progressives groom.)
Exactly, but, a large segment of the population believe ALL homosexuals are out to “groom” their kids.
This is the main reason I do not do volunteer work at the local Boys and Girls Club. All it takes is ONE kid to – as a joke or to be mean – to say I “did” something, and my life comes to an end. Single, no kids, never married, doesn’t go to church, odd tastes in music… GET HIM!
Yeah, that’s a wise self-limitation.
A lot of people don’t realize that the vast bulk of molestation lawsuits against the Boy Scouts are from the period immediately preceding their admission of gays as both members and counselors. The number after that date is a relative pittance.
grizz
regardless of your personal preference, you’re an adult–these are children–children–and the progs are telling them/dictating to them/indoctrinating them to believe that their parents are inherently wrong/have no authority/are subordinate to “teacher”
I fully understand that. I also say that since I was in school, the schools and teachers have gone into areas in which they should not be. I don’t like it.
It’s obvious to see what’s happening here. Teachers are telling young, impressionable children that certain things are “cool”, and if you want to be “cool”, you don’t need to tell your parents. Just follow the crowd and tell me. No need to go to the psychologist and see what really underlies your feelings.
Some of the best marriages I know are gay couples, but none of them chose to be gay, that’s the way they were born. My sister-in-law used to be my brother-in-law, and transitioned 20 years ago before it was “cool”.
She would never encourage kids to consider transitioning just to be “cool” and to go along with the crowd. It was a difficult, years-long process for her.
“Teachers are telling young, impressionable children that certain things are “cool”, and if you want to be “cool”, you don’t need to tell your parents. Just follow the crowd and tell me.”
And that’s how you get Hitler Youth, Young Pioneers, etc.
Wow, Eau Claire – I would have expected that more from Madison than Eau Claire.
In many instances, mother is only half of a word.
My teaching career started in 1979 and ended abruptly in 2015. I have encountered more than one barren female teacher who said something like “I don’t need to have children of my own–my students are my children.” Mothers out there–those teachers are interested in stealing the affection of your children. You did the hard work of pregnancy and labor, the hard work of sleepless nights and patiently nurturing your child. These teachers will steal them away. In divorce this is what is known as “parent alienation”, getting the child to love one parent more than the other. The perpetrators are sick and twisted.
I’ve met more than one nanny who lost her job once the sick called for the nanny in the middle of the night, and not the mom. If you love your children, homeschool. My past includes time at two Catholic high schools. Please don’t think it will be better in private, religious school, unless you are in the school daily. Even there rot exists. G.K. Chesterton was speaking of the work that mothers do when he said “If a job is worth doing it is worth doing badly.” You, in your imagined inadequacies, will do a much better job than any hired teacher. If you are not good at something, find a tutor for that subject. But your children are going to love you and accept you, even if you’re not real organized or if spelling isn’t really your thing. (Spelling isn’t my thing–Andrew Jackson said it was a damn poor mind who couldn’t spell a word more than 3 ways. I object to all the vowels and consonants.
Love your children, get them home. You can teach them a days worth of stuff in 2 or 3 hours. Did you see the homeschooling family that had all 10 children graduate from high school before age 12?
“ I’ve met more than one nanny who lost her job once the sick called for the nanny in the middle of the night, and not the mom.”
Why is there a nanny in the first place?
I can’t find the exact quote right now but it went something like this:
“If you want to know whether we are making ‘progress’ in America, consider that our grandfathers lived in single-family residences and maintained good-sized families on the efforts of one wage earner and one full-time domestic family manager, and had enough left over to afford a new car every four years or so.”
The mom has an out-of-the-house job. Something high paying enough that the mom feels justified in hiring help to raise the children while she goes and does something better with her time.
Any teacher displaying that or similar themed sign should be fired.
The parent decides what is correct for their children not school board/teachers that are hell bent on non-American indoctrination BS. This is why we need transfer education vouchers that follow the children to their school of choice. Whether it be a private school, religious school, or home schooling. We also can eliminate the Department of Education and unions for government employees as they work for us and not the union or politicized organizations that destroy our history, culture, Democracy, or push radical destabilizing anti American norms!
My suggestions are to 1. decriminalize school truancy, 2. allow students of any age to take a GED test and be done with school.
One not-irrelevant question: what age group was in this class?
