Where to buy : MINZY Never Underestimate an Old Lady Who Used to Be A Teacher Poster

If you want to keep your job as a politically conservative public school teacher, you learn to keep your mouth shut, a Chicago area teacher told The Daily Signal.

Morgan Foster has taught English in middle school and, later, high school in Cook County, Illinois, for about 10 years.

Now in her early 30s, Foster says she has had about all she can take of the progressive ideology being promoted in public education.

“I definitely want out,” Foster said in a recent phone interview, adding that it is “becoming even harder to stay apolitical, or to come across as being neutral.”

“You are being forced to ultimately support the liberal narrative in public education,” she said of herself and other teachers.

“We are too far over the hill,” Foster said, arguing that public schools have “become indoctrination centers.”

Morgan Foster isn’t the teacher’s actual name, but a pseudonym used by The Daily Signal to protect her identity.

As a black woman who currently teaches at a predominantly white high school, Foster says she never would tell colleagues she is conservative for fear she would lose her job.

‘Guilty for Being White’

“I would even say that [my colleagues] would try to school me in my own oppression,” Foster said. “They would probably see me as though I was ignorant, like ‘Why are you, a black person, not part of our team?’”

Assuming her to be in agreement with progressive views, leadership at Foster’s school asked her if she would consider leading a class to teach high school students about white privilege. She declined the offer.

“From my perspective, it’s a lot of self-hatred on their own part, like they feel guilty for being white,” Foster said of her colleagues.

Foster said she watched as fellow educators have adapted curriculum in courses from English to health to further a far-left ideology.

Administrators are removing classic works of literature by William Shakespeare, Ernest Hemingway, and Charles Dickens from English classes because they regard such works as furthering white privilege and supporting patriarchy, Foster said.

Adopted in their place are “Latinx books, black books, [and] LGBTQ+ books,” Foster said.

“The Hate U Give,” by Angie Thomas, a book for young adults inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement, is one book replacing classic literature at Foster’s school.

Foster’s school also asks teachers to include elements of The New York Times’ disputed 1619 Project in the English curriculum.

Advancing LGBT Agenda

The school’s health curriculum has seen “a removal of certain pronoun terms … to be more what they call LGBTQ+ inclusive,” Foster said.

For example, teachers are supposed to use the term “pregnant people,” she said.

The Illinois School Board of Education encourages all schools across the state to adopt a new, pro-LGBTQ+ curriculum that emphasizes use of more gender-neutral terms.

Foster said she plans to leave teaching soon to research and write on the topic of education.

After working in three different public schools in Cook County for nearly a decade, Foster said, she has come to believe that “everything in public education is liberal, from the unions … to the school board, to the education administrators, to the educators.”
