A school district in Tennessee is asking parents to sign a form agreeing not to monitor their children’s virtual classrooms over concerns that “non-student observers” could overhear confidential information.
The form, a copy of which was sent to the Tennessee Star, reads: “RCS strives to present these opportunities in a secure format that protects student privacy to the greatest extent possible, however, because these meetings will occur virtually RCS is limited in its ability to fully control certain factors such as non-student observers that may be present in the home of a student participating in the virtual meeting.”
The agreement goes on to “strongly discourage” “non-student observation of online meetings due to the potential of confidential information about a student being revealed,” and while it does not specifically say that parents may not be present while their child is participating in virtual instruction, it does say that a “violation of this agreement may result in RCS removing my child from the virtual meeting.” . . .
Editor’s Note: Of course, parents began to raise their concerns.
In an email to parents sent earlier this week, the Rutherford School District said that they’re taking parents’ concerns under advisement.
“We are aware of the concern that has been raised about this distance-learning letter that was sent to parents,” a spokesperson told the Star. “The intent was not to prevent parents from being involved with their children during distance learning, but it was intended to protect the academic privacy of other students in the classroom who are visible during certain virtual class sessions.”
Instead, the school district is now instructing parents not to record virtual instruction to view later.
“We have issued new guidance to principals that parents can assist their children during virtual group lessons with permission of the instructor but should refrain from sharing or recording any information about other students in the classroom,” the spokesperson added. . . .
Virtual education — now normal in most public school districts across the country in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic — does offer parents a more hands-on experience in their children’s education, . . . seemed to be of concern to some teachers who see promoting “social justice” as part of their role as an educator.

Fox News reported last month that at least one Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, schoolteacher was so concerned about “conservative” parents objecting to his instruction that he warned teachers to be careful about who is witnessing their virtual sessions.
“So, this fall, virtual class discussion will have many potential spectators — parents, siblings, etc. — in the same room. We’ll never be quite sure who is overhearing the discourse. What does this do for our equity/inclusion work?” the teacher tweeted. “How much have students depended on the (somewhat) secure barriers of our physical classrooms to encourage vulnerability? How many of us have installed some version of ‘what happens here stays here’ to help this?”
While conversations about race are in my wheelhouse and remain a concern in this no-walls environment — I am most intrigued by the damage that ‘helicopter/snowplow’ parents can do in the host conversations about gender/sexuality,” he continued. “And while ‘conservative’ parents are my chief concern — I know that the damage can come from the left too. If we are engaged in the messy work of destabilizing a kid’s racism or homophobia or transphobia — how much do we want their classmates’ parents piling on?”

Since when is it a school teacher’s responsibility or authorization to “destabilize a student’s racism, or homophobia or transphobia”? Those things are NOT in the school’s “wheelhouse” and teachers need to stay out of those subjects and teach reading, writing, math, history, government, art, music, etc.
What is this school system trying to hide from the parents, is it the Marxist indoctrination, is it the fact they are teaching inaccurate history of our nation, or is it the false idea of white privilege?
Could be time to fasten the seatbelts – we’re in for a bumpy ride. You said it, Bette. That Left-leaning, progressive blithering mess of garbage formerly known as a stand-=in for an actual child’s education is about to appear under the microscope, with nowhere to hide. The absolute power of secrecy that has been enjoyed for some time, is about to disappear.
The kids get a welcome breathing space. The parents get clued in for a change. The teachers are forced to mind their manners and actually have to pretend that no, they are not the absolute authority in a child’s life.
Either they reduce the mixture down to something tame and weak as water, or every lesson invites stormy weather.
NO! Parents should not sign a waiver that gives their rights over to the government. We can thank GOD, (in all things)for COVID-19, that is bringing to light, through virtual class teaching, the things that our children and grandchildren are being taught in their schools.
This article should have thousands of shares!!! We are frogs being boiled, one degree, one issue at a time. God Help Us!!!
I can’t get the map to come up to see to to pray for,
no no no! These are your children. They don’t belong to the government. Don’t sign away your right to the government. That’s what they want. The do not want you to see for yourself the indoctrination’s. Please don’t do it. For your kids.
Teachers feigning “worry or concerns” over parents monitoring what is being taught? Really? Or are those certain teachers or “agenda driven godless secularists” really concerned that they will be found out? Found out to be teaching indoctrination instead of actual courses! Found out to be using their position to try and instruct children in areas that they have No Business to be discussing?
Sadly, we again expose the truth that certain teachers are not in the profession to teach but they are there to reshape children’s minds to a leftist mentality…an “anything goes” no restraint mentality.
Teachers that profess that parents or guardians have to be limited or banned from watching or monitoring what is being taught are “dangerous” to our students. Hiding their true intentions behind some slick professional “statement of concern” is the oldest con game in the book.
The vast majority of teachers really care for their students and they want the parents involved. Sadly, there are a few that want to dictate what your kids will be taught and they really believe that there should be no parental influence or say. And for those teachers that exist, they are the reason we MUST STAY INVOLVED in every aspect of education!
While school systems are so concerned about teaching sex education, studies after studies show that American elementary, middle, and high school students continue to lag in math, reading and science Pew Research Center) Parents and grandparents and tax paying citizens need to be up in arms that our children are not learning the basics and instead are being brainwashed about their true identity. They can only know who they are in Christ.
I now look back and thank God that in my day, parents were welcomed and indeed encouraged to visit the classroom at any time, observe and comment. Classrooms are not like Las Vegas – :What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.” These are the minds, souls and spirits that are so vulnerable and God has entrusted us to lead and guide them (Proverbs 22:6).
Father God, thank you for revealing the satanic strategies that satan has devised to come against our children. What satan meant for evil, God will turn to good The righteous will stand up and bring to light the evil works, not only exposing but will implement practices and policies that will reinforce those things our children need to learn.
This is nuts. They want parent’s help in the students classroom and field trips. Can they look for a different (non-China spying) like ZOOM, but not as controversial ZOOM has access to the students facial recognition and how about algorithms? We need to have AG William Barr look into this problem.
This is more about disturbing the Teachers agenda than protecting the rights privacy of certain students. Perhaps if patents were more involved in their children’a outside activities, including their classrooms, the Boy Scouts wouldn’t be facing law suits in the billions for the sexual abuses of young boys. I don’t trust the public school education system. Parents should be very concerned about this.
My taxes are paying for public education and I should have access to content and accountability. Parents are responsible for their children’s education. Teachers answer to parents, not the other way around. An involved parent is not a helicopter parent. Just another way to embarrass people into subjection. Call them names
May God forgive us and have mercy on us for opening multiple doors to the enemy to have full access to young minds in our education system. It’s time for parents to rise up and take back government control! We, as the Church, sat in silence and allowed the highest Judges in our land to systematically remove God from our schools. Now, we are reaping what we have down!!
Wake up people!!!!
Oh my gosh!..Could I just yell right now…just get back to teaching our kids math and english and spelling etc. Problem solved! Leave the culture and sexuality training to the FAMILY. Schools need to quit this nonsense and get back to basics…
It’s beyond ridiculous how 1 of the coronavirus’, akin to the common cold, has virtually shut down the whole world leading to all this lunacy.
Solution: Resume all in-class instruction, ditch the masks and let nature takes its course.
Those with strong immune systems will be fine, those who may get “it” will most likely have their immune system get stronger.
Wearing a mask weakens the immune system when the person keeps breathing their own “air” actually carbon dioxide, over and over again.
And they are not getting enough oxygen to nourish all the organs in the body thus starving the body of much needed oxygen, which is needed to maintain a healthy body, functioning the way God intended it to function.
If everyone used good hygiene habits, that should be sufficient.
I don’t think the people (educators???) who are coming up with all these convoluted ways of “teaching” children have a clue of the mental and emotional damage they are doing to the children, now and in the future.
A question ???? What are they trying to hide from the parents????
The Department of Education, Boards of Education, Teachers Unions, etc, in my opinion, need to be cleaned up and cleaned out!! Schools should be controlled locally with minimal over-site by the State and NO Federal Department.
The children were given by Almighty God to their parents NOT to the school systems, teachers or anyone else.
Parents, Grandparents, you MUST stand up against everyone who wants to dictate their own beliefs and wherever else on your children. God gave them to you to rear, NOT the state! Don’t be afraid to stand up and say “NO”!
Perhaps I’m being naive, but I thought the role of teachers is to teach children reading, spelling, math, science, literature, history, art, and the role of parents is to instill morals. I’m from the generation when sex education began to be introduced into the curriculum. Overtime, I’ve come to understand why our parents protested against it. They saw the slippery slope it would lead to.
Father, deliver and protect our children against the forces and ideology intent on bringing up our children in ways that are contrary to your ideals. Help us to not only become more vocal against those who wish to poison our children’s minds but place us in positions of influence at the local, state, and federal levels to protect the interests of our children and the family.
Almighty God, help us to return to our God-given privilege of instructing our own children in morality. Let the teachers teach math, science, history, social studies, penmanship. May we parents not relinquish our role of protecting our children from the insidiousness of the enemy. I pray that every teacher’s union be stopped from trying to shut the parents out of the responsibility that Is rightfully theirs to oversee what the teachers are teaching in the name of education, but is really brainwashing.
This is so disturbing. Parents, don’t let the system dictate what you can and cannot do regarding your child’s education. I was a teacher, and parents were welcome in my classroom. I especially encouraged any who were concerned with anything I might be teaching that they drop in unannounced so they would see the real me at work. Interestingly enough, no one decided to do that. I pray for the public, and private, education systems of today…for the teachers…for the students…and, yes, for the parents.
Lord Jesus, thank YOU that these evils and potential evils perpetrated on our nation’s children are being exposed. Thank you for turning what the enemy means for evil to good. Please help us as parents and grandparents to stand in this gap and inspire us to action. We pray, in the Holy name of Jesus, that the education system will continue moving swiftly toward necessary changes, that the power of the unions and the enemy will be broken once and for all. God, would you bless and strengthen and inspire the many wonderful teachers who know you and love you? Would you bless the Trump administration as they seek ways to allow the funding for education to “follow the children” and not go directly to schools with agendas that don’t line up with godly principles. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
I just wanted to clarify that the school district in question was Rutherford County Schools in Tennessee… we live here and had not heard anything about this waiver required for parents who have chosen Virtual Education…. would love for you to clarify that indeed this is the school district in question….
https://tennesseestar.com/2020/08/15/rutherford-county-schools-tell-parents-not-to-monitor-their-childs-virtual-c lassrooms/
Thank you so much for that quick reply and clarification… I have forwarded to my educator friends and will alert our prayer warriors about this….. we appreciate all you do
God bless you Dottie!!
This nations history is repeating itself, sadly… Did “we” as a Nation ever sincerely apologize and repent for doing this very thing to the Native families / Indiginous peoples when the country was taken over? NO
These are the same evil forces using people today as then!
This is how the Native parents and Grandparents felt…Government Arrogance,
Indoctrination, Assimilation, Wicked Boarding Schools, Parents starved of food supplies if they refused to let their children go, children humiliated for being whom Creator Yeshua made them to be.
Forced to forget their heritage and God given language…etc.
We indeed must Stand against this in humiliation and with authority in Christ on behalf of ALL peoples!
In Jesus Name
Yes Lord Jesus…Sins follow generation s & Lord we do ask your blood to cleanse us & Help eyes Open to both intentional sin & sins~of~omission turning blind eyes where we can Do Help Us Step UP & JUMP In ~IN LOVE & TOTAL Obedience to your Word Will & Ways!
Leilani, thank you for bringing this sinful part of our nation to our attention. Yes, we didn’t do it personally but we are reaping what the ancestors of some of us sowed. It isn’t pretty. Thank you.
No! No! No!
In Jesus’ Name, we refuse to abdicate the family mountain of society to the government and political mountains! We refuse to defer to their secular “wisdom” and tear off the coverings to expose deeds of darkness planned for the indoctrination of our children!
We defy Goliath to enter the homes of families in Tennessee or any other state and declare, “ Who are you to mock our God?”
We push back in the spirit realm against plans to rob, kill, and destroy, truth, innocence, and purity, in the hearts, minds, and souls of our children!
We cry out for God, our defender, to battle on our behalf and to lay a weighty burden on parents to engage and battle for their homes to fully transparent learning centers, in Jesus Name!
Finally, we cry out for revival among our children, our youth, our teens, and our young adults! We pray for eyes to be opened, hearts to be open, ears to be opened to the voice of the Holy Spirit as never before, in Jesus name!

My Lord, My Lord, My Lord! We agree IJN
Yes, LORD JESUS,
I agree we need Your guidance and help to defend and protect our children, they are precious in Your sight.
Praise You Lord, You are Mighty and we lift our eyes to You!💕🙏
This is just the beginning! I as a concerned grandmother of 2 preschool grandsons felt a calling from the Lord to become involved in following the agenda of dozens of resources dealing with sex education of our nation’s children and how they are infiltrating every agency or institution working with children. What I have uncovered should cause us all to be in prayer 24/7 because it is spreading exponentially! Then, to my amazement, here is a prayer headline, about a school system in my home state! There should be a call out to all parents (don’t be misled that parochial and no-profit schools will not be involved) to quickly become educated about this issue. I took part in a summit put on by The Heritage Foundation that had as a panel several experts on all the aspects of this issue. (Protecting Our Children – Comprehensive Sexualization Education)
Heavenly Father, we call on the Holy Spirit to speak to parents of children everywhere in the world to recognize what is going on and to rise up in boldness to take back our children. Protect them from the tongs of the devil’s scheme to turn them against their parents. Cause the lies and twisting of truth to be exposed in their teachings. We include all the parents in all countries of the world to recognize this agenda and to have the courage to stand up to protect their children.
You love your children and all are blessed by you. Forgive us for allowing them to be subjected to this agenda. Regenerate us to be your servants here on earth to reject this diabolical movement. In Your Holy name we pray, Amen.
Father God
Romans 8:28 tells us that our God will use evil for good for those that love Him. Praise God for His plans are always right.
Covid has resulted in teachers not wanting to teach in the classrooms. God is revealing the social agenda of educators to indoctrinate our precious children to believe homosexuality is no problem, that gay marriage is acceptable, that your birth gender is fluid and that transgendering is ok, that drag queen story hour for 4 year olds is acceptable, that fatherless children are just fine, etc etc etc.
Father we praise you that a silver lining of covid has been revealed. Lord we praise you for this revelation of sins against our children. We pray Lord for wisdom and discernment on how to fix our broken education system. We ask for wisdom and discernment for parents, educators, and leaders to commit to educate our children under the blessings and truth of our Lord. We ask for your protection over each precious child from predators. In Jesus name we boldly ask for your blessings.
Amen
The Bible teaches that parents are responsible for educating children, not the state. The state thinks the children belong to them and want to indoctrinate them . Parents are the enemy. Their influence is to be erased by re-education which dumbs down and makes compliant citizens who are easily controlled. Only then can we have a communist socialist utopia.
God has given us- parents – authority over and responsibility for our children. We cannot compromise on this. I homeschooled for this very reason. These parents should not comply. Father grant them courage to obey You and not ungodly regulations. Protect these children and allow them to learn free of demonic agendas.
When my daughter went from a Christian elementary school to public high school, which I wasn’t happy about, she of course had biology. They were teaching evolution. She stood to her feet and told the teacher “you can flunk me if you like but I am NOT studying that. I did not come from a monkey.”! We need to teach our children to have holy boldness. To stand against these explicit teachings about sex. The battle is for the mind. The engineers of society are well aware of this. Keep praying parents and put feet to your prayers.
I taught 8th grade science. Help your child to answer in the positive. For example: “We have been taught that we came from monkeys. True operational science proves that to be an impossibility.” Then give some examples. Polite resistance will get your child farther and maybe change some teachers’ minds. A good resource for students (and anybody) is CMI (Creation Ministries). Go there online. They have over 9000 articles. Search by topic. Have fun! Be enlightened!
While their numbers are few, Joe many teachers in school have violated the children in Or out of their classroom? Parents expected those teachers to educate their children and send them home learned. Now those teachers are embolden to demand that parent refrain from observing watching other children online? And what if that teacher is political motivated against a politician? What if that teacher is a pervert and figured out how to get a child alone on a different web site? Sadly that’s how the enemy thinks. No! The parents need to be allowed to observe what is going on in the virtual classroom. They need to know exactly the teachers are teaching their children. Isn’t that why we have children and to bring them up to be good citizens in the eyes of God and man?
Absolutely, parents stand up to this demonic, in the name of jesus! Father i pray for your firewall around our schools, but parents wake up!
This teacher states that he thinks his mandate for teaching includes destabilizing the beliefs and values of students that they may have learned from their (especially conservative) parents. Clearly the teacher believes that the teachers know best what is best for the children, not their parents who brought them into this world and sacrifice for them every day. He is not alone. This attitude in education rebels against God’s design. Lord wake up parents to what actually happens in schools and to train their children in your Word. Wake up parents to inform their children that no one, no authority has the right to tell them to keep secrets from their parents. Nullify the control of teacher’s unions, school structures and teacher trainers over those teachers who honor you and your structures for life.
That is an absolute truth especially with the teachers unions are socialist and pushing their socialism over our young children/grandchildren.
What we do in the dark will be brought into the Light. Can there be much privacy in a Zoom class or meeting?
I pray parents will be moved to seek the Lord to do what is best for their child and the Church will be willing to help. I sense here in Illinois we are sending our littlest people into a cess pool to be polluted. Please help us , Lord! Thank You that You hear our prayers and are mighty to save! Thank You for believing administrators and teachers in the public schools. Give a voice to Your people and may we be found faithful in prayer and obedience.
It is amazing how a teacher is “intrigued” about a conservative parent concerns over such topics as racism, gender transition, and other negative social topics that impacts the lives of children. Systemic Racism is a farst. IF there was S.R.there would never have been the 1st Black President. There would never be any Black sports billionares where White or non Blacks pay their salaries to live in million dollar homes. At birth, your physical body plainly shows male or female. If I were a parent or grand parent responsible for my child’s education,I would never sign such an agreement. How many children have we lost (over the Internet by pedophiles) just showing pictures, then being persuaded to meet people and end up dead…HOW MANY? May the LIGHT of the world shine TRUTH into the hearts and minds of men. I decree and declare all our children shall be taught the WORD of GOD and great shall be the peace upon our children. I speak to the spirit of deception and manipulation, and pull you down IJN. I PLEAD THE BLOOD over ALL students,over their minds, thoughts, thought patterns, and say be covered IJN with TRUTH, which sets all PEOPLE free.
I wish I could give you 1000 amens! We had 8 years of the first black president and I thought we were past this. Nope. That evil man set racism back 50 years. It will never be enough for groups such as BLM. They are parched soil, never able to be satisfied. The real racism right now is black against white and laughingly whites against whites… All the whites who are apologizing for being white. I’m so sick of it I could puke. And as far as education goes, parents can fight this evil all they want but I think we must get out Kids OUT of the indoctrination centers, formerly known as schools, because we don’t have the luxury of time. Kids are being exposed to unbelievably VILE and so homeschooling is it. And thanks to COVID exposing this VILENESS to many more parents, homeschooling is exploding across the nation. Thank you God!
Well P.N. I responded with a lengthy email and hit submit but my email vanished! Just know I agree 100% with your comments!
Another good reason to homeschool your children. It is not the schools job to indoctrinate our children
Since the ‘request’ — actually ‘forced’ signing of such a waiver is clearly contrary to the parents’ right and responsibility to oversee the protection of their children… parents should sign them and then do whatever they want including ‘overseeing’ the online teaching. This is not a simple request to avoid parents hearing confidential information about other children, it is about making sure that their children are not subject to ‘teaching’ that has nothing to do with what they should be learning in school. This is about power and control and indoctrination. Perhaps as far as children and school is concerned, this is the ‘silver lining’ in this difficult situation.
You said “Since the ‘request’ — actually ‘forced’ signing of such a waiver is clearly contrary to the parents’ right and responsibility to oversee the protection of their children… parents should sign them and then do whatever they want including ‘overseeing’ the online teaching.”. That’s called lying and deception. Get right with God, sir!!
Dear GOD! HELP! Help us get off this train of globalism in ALL its forms!!!! Bless the conservative parents and teachers with wisdom and discernment.
if a teacher is “concerned” about conservative parents observing class instruction of their child, then probably what is being “taught” needs to be thrown out and new and fresh looks at values like the Ten Commandments might be in order.
