Today, a parent of one of the students I teach called me to complain that I was teaching her child "lies" and "fairytales". I was teaching them about the Holocaust. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got a call from an angry parent telling me that I'm teaching her son and the other children in the class "wrong philosophies". This was all because I explained to the class that Michigan is divided into two parts. FML
Today, my grandmother tried to lecture me about discrimination. This is the same woman who lies about her grandchildren's race, and tried to convince a Jewish person that the Jews were responsible for the Holocaust. FML
Today, a student told me to fuck off. I work with 3 year-olds. FML
Today, I got chewed out by a parent for putting her kid underwater. I teach swim lessons. FML
Today, I had a parent come in for a conference. When she stepped into my classroom, she immediately went on a rant about how I’m "woke indoctrinating" her child and threatened to homeschool her. She then stormed out. I had a rainbow chart of the colors and a poster of multicolored hands. I teach 1st grade. FML
Today, my teacher assigned us teams in a class debate. I landed on the team that had to argue the obviously wrong point of view. When I finished, my teacher told me and the entire class how much I disturbed her, and how I reminded her of Hitler and Napoleon. FML
Today, we had to discuss our heritage at school. When I told the class that I'm German, Japanese, and of the Jewish faith, my teacher laughed at the "irony." Something like this always happens whenever I tell people my background. FML
Today, there was a new girl in one of my classes. We both corrected a classmate on his grammar, so, trying to make a new friend, I leaned back to her and said, "Haha, fellow Grammar Nazi?" She gave me a disgusted look and told me she was Jewish. FML
Today, my son's "favorite" teacher went on a tirade criticizing my "awful" parenting. About two months ago, my son got her fired after he reported her to the principal for forcing him to miss out on lunch to finish a project. Apparently, that wasn't the first time she did something like that. FML
Today, I was once again berated by an idiotic parent. I’ve been called a filthy liberal, a groomer, and had my job threatened several times. All of this because I was teaching second graders about pronouns. You know, the part of English grammar that replaces a noun. Nothing political at all. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

A school here was sued because they had the students write an essay about whether the holocaust was real or not, a Jewish family was so upset (like anyone would be) and funded a trip to the Museum of Tolerance for everyone in that school.

I can't believe people like that actually exist.

You are teaching fairytales. Nazi fairytales. The only difference is that you probably taught the real ending instead of the ending that white supremacists might enjoy.

I thought that was just a government coverup of Hitler being a Zombie Apocalypse stopping hero.

It's a sad day when parents don't know the stuff you're teaching their young children

Oh goodness. To me, I don't understand why people would think it didn't happen.

You're terrible, OP! How dare you teach such lies! Next you'll be teaching children that the US Civil War actually happened! Unbelievable!

Maybe because that was what the parent was taught in one o' them 'progressive new age' schools that continually rewrite history.
