Many of us in the comments want to thank you and are very appreciative (I'm sure there are parents who may feel some relief) knowing there are teachers like you that actually exist. Please, please, please don't change.

Relax. It's already going to your head. Crack on with the day job.

I am a physics teacher that uses the modeling method. This relies on the students to critically think. There are more teachers out there like that. Plenty in my school.

How do you find the time to teach kids alongside your commitment to the Star Wars films?

Just to let you know how much teachers like you are remembered by their students... I am 24 (almost 25) and went through all schooling and only ONE teacher I remember when I was 14 actually taught me critical thinking. In one year he got me from an E/F student in Physics to finishing on an A, which purely stemmed from him changing how I viewed learning/motivation (and he was just really cool and made the environment fun). I ended up getting into math because of that, which led me to computer science at uni, and now im developing games and am very happy. I think sometimes what path I would have went down without that ONE teacher. And you are exactly the sort of thinker which can teach kids the same, appreciate you and I hope you have a fruitful career!

or maybe just a raise eh!

Agree. He's also very genuine and 'real'. Rare these days.

Teacher deserves a pink slip for promoting transphobic lies.

I was going to comment on this! They say, "his presence makes them feel unsafe"

​@@ItachiUchihaisamartyr That's rich coming from activists whose de-facto power, emotional maturity, and erratic unpredictability all matches that of Joffrey Baratheon, First of his name, King of the Andals. I guess Ned Stark's "presence made him feel unsafe." Poor kid. Good thing he showed that toxic white cis-man some accountability-culture, and ended the hate speech.

Did he? Where was he fired from?

He's too smart and rational to be part of the US public school system. Of course they fired him.

@@danaustin5869 Can't have the kids learn how to think!

whaaaa fr?

@@asdreww He actually posted himself after it happened…. He was saying goodbye to his students, he was obviously shocked…. They obviously don’t want the students to be able to critically think for themselves…. They want another bunch of sheep..

Absolutely. The problem is most people won’t challenge their thoughts in a constructive way. Yelling a point at someone isn’t very effective

Yes and I would go further. We need to get rid of the LGTV stuff/rules protecting it.

100%

And alot of that, education vs indoctrination, involves an unlearning of everything you've been taught, especially the polarized topics of belief. There's literally a lie hidden within every beLIEf, often times the lies we tell ourselves; and history is always written by the Victors, it's his story afterall. 😅 It's not nature vs nurture, but rather the integration and utilization of both. It's not holistic health vs modern medicine, but the integration and utilization of both. Where are we individually polarized, and why? This is a key to self awareness, and the ability to be a critical thinker -- beyond the reach or scope of the psychological & emotionally manipulative tactics of today's modern governs of mind I mean governments.

3 months later? I seriously doubt that. We don’t know the reason yet. Honestly I just hope it’s not something horrible.

That's what they would want you to think. It would have been too controversial to fire him while he was in the spotlight so they just waited.

@@ana-maria6443 You can keep your conspiracy theories for now. Let’s wait for facts, you know, the very thing everyone praised this guy for. Having one smart conversation doesn’t make him a good person. We know nothing about him.

@@skatealex1it’s when you are awake and aware of Systematic discrimination and When you force feed your toddler estrogen. Stay woke yall

@@skatealex1 Wokeism is weaponized personal grievances masquerading as a genuine social concern. It's defined by its fraudulent nature, as being distinct from legitimate social grievances. In other words. Fake outrage over absurd issues.

Vast majority of teachers are like this. Try some channels other than fox news..and you know...talking to people in real life.

Amen!

Yes, he not just teaching it, he also practicing it. Which is missing from a lot of his colleagues.

I hope they don't try to destroy him and push him out of his profession. The Social Justice cult hates critical thinking with a passion. They literally argue that objective rationality is a corrupt "white way of knowing" because they know their theories can't withstand rational scrutiny.

He's far too radical to be a teacher...imagine teaching kids how to think , not what to think! 😱

Exactly! Many just scream and cry! People must be willing to be wrong for them to grow.

Actually this is a quote from the video. The teacher said it to the student.

Yep. Don't just believe what people say. Just because someone says it, or tweets it, or, I dunno....makes a KZfaq video, for example, just throwing out random examples...doesn't mean it's true. Words of wisdom! 😂😂😂

No, he's a demagogue. No opposing viewpoints were presented. The student may have reached a conclusion on their own but they never had the facts on hand to make an informed decision. The student did not take the extra step of looking at the actual debate on the issue.

@@DBCOOPER888Regardless, he still discovered that he had formed that opinion WITHOUT knowing the facts. (At that particular time) If you’re going to call somebody transphobic, you need evidence other than, “other people have said it, so it must be true”

@@michaelfrazier3148 He still doesn't know the facts of the situation. The teacher pointed him to one direction. Like I said, the way he phrased the question was so incredibly dumb, like the teacher asked him to phrase it that way to make a point. The likely motive the entire time was to say through "critical thinking" you will see JK's tweets are perfectly fine. After watching his other videos I won't give him the benefit of the doubt. He peddles Jordan Peterson's comments about climate change ffs.

There is no information as to why he was fired.

Already got fired for doing what he did.

@@ThePianoPimp where did he get fired from?

It's all about power, control, and most of all money. I have stopped going to theatres to see big producer movies anymore, and I won't return until they stop pushing propaganda in everything they release. I go to movies to be entertained, not preached at.

No one can cancel or "erase" a multi millionaire. She 's always had deeply problematic links to anti-LGBT and right wing people. She's still raking it in , and is moire than happy to support and legally protect a whole raft of liars, grifters and bigots.

She did kinda steal it from the 80s movie troll that even has a kid in it called Harry potter

@@Sotto_ I agree with you. Its the same reason I wont go either. Lately nothing good is playing

Doing, not did. But it hasn't worked, not really, not it will continue to not work.

Even offered him money for not talking about this ever again.

We need to have these tough conversations, you are right! It takes a lot of courage to stand up and tell a student not to believe something just because someone says it, or tweets it, or ... I dunno, makes a KZfaq video about it, just throwing out a random example... Wisdom like this is hard to come by. This man needs an award. Perhaps, an Osca.....err, no, I meant... Teacher of the Year award! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

“Effortlessly profound.” Son. That’s so BADASS

Absolutely.. most kids are incredibly dumb.. and refuse to even consider they are wrong.. BECAUSE THEY ARE SHEEP.

Great point agreed

JK Rowling is a transphobe. She has had multiple opportunities to clarify her position and continues to tweet out inflammatory and exclusionary remarks, associate herself with other transphobes and fund exclusionary groups. The Harry Potter actors distanced themselves from her despite not having any incentive to do so. The fact that the student repeated what his peers told him doesn't make him wrong. One can know Hitler was an anti Semite without having read any of Mein Kampf or his directives during the Third Reich.

What would be good for society is if we got rid of the pro LGTV laws

bit submissive tbh

Good. I wasn't the only person that thought of Kylo Ren. LOL.

😂

Omg stop, I thought the same thing!😅

The best comments don’t always have most upvotes ❤

Kylo did turn to the light side at the end of that atrocious sequel, and now we know he has lived life as a teacher in Massachusetts instead of being in the Jedi Temple.

And he just got fired for this basic example... Imagine that.

you end your comment with "Amen"... can you see the hypocrisy in that?

​@@MCVOfficialKZfaqI see what you mean, but my push back will be that there's free will in religion and everyone have his own journey that leads him to believing in God or not, and either you won't be judge, but when it comes to social beliefs, it's not quite the same, if you're against what the left thinks, then you're evil and ostracized...

​@@MCVOfficialKZfaqLol, what, bro?

@@caleschnell it's pretty simple to understand, he made a comment about "thinking for yourself" the add ~"Amen" ... a phrase created by Christianity which forbids you to... think for yourself.... irony isn't your strongpoint is it

@@MCVOfficialKZfaq The mature are those who develop by practice to discern the right from the wrong - Hebrews 5:14. Isaiah 1:18 - Come and let us reason together, though your sins are like scarlet they shall be as white as snow; though they are like crimson they shall be as wool. I don't know, man, perhaps if you read the Scriptures for yourself and don't adopt a silly creed-it seems as though Christianity seems pretty reasonable. The problem arises when you separate the three threads of evidence you use to discern truth. Scripture alone leads to over 51,000 different Christian groups all arguing that the Bible is the basis of their faith. Science alone leads to evolutionism and godlessness. Personal experience alone leads to mystery religions and eastern philosophy. Yet, there really is no gray area or compromise when it comes to the laws of health, laws of physics, or the laws that govern the stars and celestial bodies. To put it simply, people have went awry because they've accepted lies about God, His character, and you will variably find that most Christians instead of praying like David of old, “Search and see the wicked way in me; renew a new heart and right spirit in me.” You will find many of them say superstitiously, “When my heavenly Father looks at me, He doesn't see me, but Jesus covering me.” That's because they don't actually trust our heavenly Father but interventions made to hide and protect them from Him. You have to rightly divide the truth for yourself. I abide by the principle of the apostle Paul stated in Romans chap. 14 v. 5, “Every person must be fully persuaded in their own mind.” I can't do your thinking for you; you must examine the evidence for yourself and come to your own conclusion on the matter. I can challenge you to think and to weigh it out for yourself but you must apply yourself to do so. Have a good day, Caller, and may the Spirit of God invigorate you to rightly divide truth from error.

They are not Rare. Despite what gets circulated his way of teaching is indicative of most educators. What we usually see are inflammatory videos of the extremes and what are the actually rare because they incite people and therefore get eyeballs. What is posted is what gets eyeballs but that is social media not the reality of education.

I don't know how rare this is because I don't have the statistics to determine that, but what is obvious to me is that in order to teach in the manner he does, he must have the backing of his school district and board of education. Therefore, they are to be highly commended for hiring teachers like him and allowing them to teach critical thinking in the classroom. I know he has their backing and support because if he didn't, he would have already been told to hit the road and don't come back.

They were not rare in the 1980s at a small state university (heavily supported by two great businessmen in our small, geographically remote area). This is the kind of professor I remember. The video gives me hope those professors still exist.

I work at a large city community college and I assure you there are many. Most are like this despite what gets blasted online. People find videos and stories that support their ideas about what is happening at colleges and then post them endlessly. Like those street interviews where they string together a whole bunch of people who don’t know who George Washington was and then one person who does to make it seem accurate and in real time to prove how stupid students or the public are when in reality they edited out the 95% of people who do know. People knowing is not exciting. That doesn’t get eyeballs and comments. We all need to be careful what someone else presents as reality in real time truth when we ourselves are not there And I totally include myself in that statement. @@NoOne-bp2jw

I think there are many, but they are afraid of the consequences of speaking out. You'll be blacklisted, dragged through the mud by various institutions, and the fear of losing your livelihood is enough to silence people into compliance of this shit.

Old jk folded and flaked to this woke bullshit originally.

So no mention of JK Rowling linking trans-women to violence against women, Then after being called out on it, claiming trans self-ID would result in an increase in violence against women in women's safe-spaces despite the actual EVIDENCE of over 10 years and almost 30 countries ? "Critical thinking" needs credible, verifiable, objective evidence ! All this actually demonstrates is one example of actual ignorance and a number of more examples of wilful ignorance !!!

And very classy. When the woke.mob was calling for her to return her award, i wrote her a "fan" letter, encouraging her to stick to her guns. She replied with the kindest, most appreciative reply.

"Such an inspiring woman." She is associated with LGB Alliance, which has campaigned for conversion therapy bans to not include trans people. It is a cowardly hate group.

The point is you should listen to both the critics and her. You're still in the triggered stage. Look at both dispassionately

This is actually very similar to what Jordan Peterson has been saying for years ("face the dragon"), and he often refers to Harry Potter for examples and metaphors too.

@@oletrn Yes. It's often connected to his advice to face your Jungian shadow. All of his work unpacking the deep and lasting metaphorical wisdom that shows up in popular culture is wonderful.
