I wonder how any teacher could get around those standards. Perhaps by doing the bare minimum? Maybe it'll be as drab and forgettable as 12th grade government/economics. I mean they already serve an anti communist unction in a way, along with teaching Eric Blair in freshman English.

It would depend on specifics of the bill and the school boards. Most teachers I imagine are libs and so would be fine teaching Orwell if not the Black Book.

Having teachers be hostile to a curriculum means that you wind up with school board members showing up to read off a paper for 45 minutes.

Some teachers are pretty cool, but teaching leaves little time/energy for self education outside of their subjects, so they wind up being a time capsule of popular approachable radical opinions just before they started teaching full time.

I can see that. With all these conservative activist parents with nothing better to do, it makes me happy I did not become a teacher. Still, I always wonder how my high school social studies teacher fares through all this. He's a Bernie-sympathetic former Republican but, his education gave him a bit of an anti imperialist streak.
