Those teacher's don't want to teach students; they never did. They want to indoctrinate them into their belief system. And the schools and teachers unions know it and support it. And unlike their predecessors who did want to teach students, they make gatekeeping the current status quo among their top priorities.
I had a job as an IT contractor at schools the year after I graduated high school. Which was a bit odd in and of itself because I have always looked younger than my age and here we have a 19 year old that looks 14 roaming around the school.
I learned really quick the facade that school was to a student. These were rural schools for the most part not liberal treasure troves. Still the combination of how teachers were among themselves (it's basically a reality show of bullshit and gossip) and just how plain stupid some of them were was shocking to me. I mean we were 20 years into computers by then and these older 20s teachers just had no idea. Who could you count on to not totally screw it up? I mean for fuck sake the viruses and spyware these teachers would get was astronomical. Who never got them? The old men shop and agriculture teachers that somehow managed to use their computer for what they needed and never break anything.

This is of course not counting the ones who are just there to molest kids.
