“Someone Needs to Answer for It”: Maher Blows Up on Indoctrination in Schools

Speaking on a panel discussion on his show, HBO’s “Real Time” with Bill Maher, Maher detonated on the indoctrination efforts being pushed inside America’s schools, saying that such indoctrination efforts were unacceptable and that “someone needs to answer for it.” In his words:

“I thought a great subject to talk about would be schools, because they’re in the news a lot. We live in a prison yard in this country, which is everything is tribal.

“And like anything that has to do with schools or education is something really the Democrats have to answer for because they control it. I mean, when you look at the Democratic Convention, it’s like three-quarters of them are teachers. My sister’s a teacher. I’m a big defender of teachers, but what’s going on in schools is outrageous, and somebody needs to answer for it.”

Even Andrew Sullivan, former editor of the very far-left New Republic, agreed, saying that what’s going on in America’s schools is crazy because kids need direction and to be taught normal things, not to have radical identity ideas foisted on them in the classroom by authority figures. In his words:

“One thing we used to tell kids was that there is someone in authority. And at some point, you have to take note of that person in authority.

Children who are taught there’s no such thing as authority, the most important thing is expressing yourself at all times, are never held responsible for anything or constantly being excused for everything, they’re gonna end up this way. They need direction. People need authority.

“Why does a four-year-old come in, instead of teaching them the colors, you’re telling them, ‘Pick your pronoun’? Where on earth did that come from? And who told us it was going to be imposed on children?

“More and more, when you look at this curriculum, it’s all about that stuff. It’s all about identity, it’s all about being queer or trans. Children can’t understand that stuff, not in kindergarten.”

Sullivan then added that the indoctrination efforts being made by teachers are crazy and that those pushing the LGBT indoctrination on kids are doing so to appease special interests in Washington, saying:

“I don’t want to teach five-year-olds about being gay. I think wait a little bit, and they’ll pick it up anyway. It’s not like they can’t watch the TV. They’re not telling them that, they’re telling them something worse.

“They’re telling that people can choose to be a boy or a girl or neither or both or something else entirely. That is a lie. You can’t. And it’s done in order to placate certain special interests in Washington, mainly the LGBTQIA+ people who’ve also been captured by the far left. We should say no to this.”

Maher, agreeing, said that it made no sense that Democrats want to “die on” the hill of teaching five year olds about sex stuff and gender identity.

Yet that’s just what they’re doing, refusing to back down as concerned parents push back.
