Teacher Who Exposed BrainPOP Sounds The Alarm On Political Harassment Towards Children
A Louisiana teacher from St. Tammany Parish, Jonathan Koeppel returned last Thursday to sound the alarm about teachers in the school district who are politically harassing children and while calling out the school board for trying to limit free speech.
Koeppel talked again after bringing attention to a website teaching kids that they are racist and spoke out against a scheme that would potentially limit public comments at board meetings.
Mr. Koeppel gained social media attention from TikTok after exposing an online teaching tool called BrainPOP that is pushing leftist ideologies on children.
The fight against leftist ideologies continues
“We have evidence, if you need it. I can’t state any names. I don’t want to shame anybody. I don’t believe in cancer culture. I think that’s ridiculous. But we have teachers trying to force their views on kids. There are dividing classes. If you agree with the teacher, you’re the teacher’s friend. If you disagree, you are the teacher’s enemy and you get marginalized and harassed,” Mr. Koeppel stated.
“I’m all about finding racism and if it exists, we get rid of it. If something’s going on with that bus driver, we’ve got to stop it, OK? We also got to stop political discrimination, political harassment by adults to children. They don’t do that to me. I’m a teacher. They don’t they don’t come pick on me. They pick on children,” Mr. Koeppel continued.
Police with proposed changes and no comment cards
School board member Charles Brandon Harre look back at some policy with the board about speakers not using comment cards.
“So what exactly are you limiting? Which part of our speech are you limiting? Do you not want public comment? We have no other opportunity except for filling out these little things and the beginning of the meetings to be able to address you guys openly. If I send you an email, you might read it. You might not. But if I show up here to your face, at least you guys will see me,” Mr. Koeppel stated to Harre.
Koeppel called the board members for trying to limit free speech and how its going to look bad on them in the future if they try to run for any future political office.
“Restricting public free speech at your meetings is going to look very bad for you if you ever try to run for any political office ever again in America, because this is supposed to be the land where we celebrate as much free speech as possible. In a time where we really want as much public participation, this seems like a ridiculous move. I don’t know who you wouldn’t want to hear from. I can understand having a time limit like we have the three minutes and the five minutes, but I do not understand removing that,” the Louisiana teacher said.
“So if you want to do something like you would see in Cuba where I have been to, I’ve also been to Nicaragua where they limit the people’s speech. I mean, look, we only get three minutes to talk to you already. Five minutes if we get with you guys a week ahead of time, send an email. You could give us the decency to not remove that. I really beg of you not to get rid of that, to think that you would not want to hear from the people who voted you in. That’s that’s ridiculous,” Mr. Koeppel continued.
Time was becoming limited as Mr. Koeppel spoke to the board and wanted to remind them that its ridiculous and how free speech cannot be restricted in America.
