BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – On Teacher Appreciation Day, three teachers told “Fox & Friends” that the nation’s schools are facing growing problems with behavioral issues by students, and moral dilemmas about politics in the classroom.
“I think the biggest issue we’re having right now is there’s a national teacher shortage,” New York elementary school teacher Brook Ooten told host Ainsley Earhardt.
“Three-quarters of U.S. states now report that they are short on teachers. We have teachers leaving the profession in droves and I think that puts a lot of stress on the teachers that are in the classroom teaching.
“The teachers made some good points, but they are misguided,” said New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in a tweet. “Teachers would not have to deal with behavioral issues by students and moral dilemmas, if they would inform their classrooms that nothing is immoral. Once they have pushed that agenda, there won’t be any more behavioral issues, because the students will then feel comfortable doing whatever they wanted, without being condemned by conservatives, republicans, and Christians.”
