My mother was a teacher, had kids and stayed home with us until I was in 6th grade, and then went back to teaching. My oldest sister was a teachers assistant for a little while and my other sister was a teacher as well.. Then I married a teacher

All of them wonderful, God-fearing and loving conservative women. My wife is the only current teacher but NONE of them would have ever given and taught on any of the woke bullshit! There was a time that I was trying to get into teaching. Had a solid plan put together. I have ~80 hours at a local tech school with a decent enough GPA. I was trying to get on as a TA in the special needs program, because I've always volunteered to work with them and have a soft spot in my heart for them, and then get enrolled online and finish up my degree and(hopefully) get my own class. Unfortunately
the school district wouldn't overlook my past, although no charges in relation to sex/violence/theft and nothing current even. Also had references from a woman who runs the Special Needs program for the entire city, the current head of the program for the district, the retired head of the program and one of their current Special Needs teachers! I won't even begin to start on some of the pieces of shit they have kept on over the years, too! It was extremely infuriating and disheartening.
