Weren't you just talking about how you believe in small government and oppose authoritarianism in another post and yet here you are demanding that the government force educators to invade children's privacy by spying on them and relaying their findings to parents?
Where did I say this? Please provide a quote of mine.
You really need me to link every single comment you've left on this post? Here you go
You just linked to my comments, show me the comment were I "demand that the government force educators to invade children's privacy by spying on them"
I never had, nor never will say that, because I think teachers should stay out of their kids personal lives for the most part. I don't want any teacher spying exchanging secrets with kids.
Tell you what, I've been back and forth with this person somewhere else in this thread, and it really astounds me how someone could be both small government and demand the right to use the strong arm of the government to allow parents to surviel their child via their own teachers.
Then they question you because you can't prove they said that directly, as though inferring such without saying it absolves them of any guilt. Might work in court, but that doesn't work here.
I just stopped replying to them entirely as their latest comments are completely unhinged antigovernment rants and conspiracy theories plus they began completely contradicting themselves from one reply to the next, drastically changing their supposed 'ideals' to whatever suited their argument in that particuler moment.
This person needs intensive cult deprogramming if they're genuine or a better job than working in a troll farm if they're not.
