Blessing in disguise? QAnon tells followers to become public school teachers

After decades of being underpaid, a year of teaching virtually, endless weeks of being exposed to and killed by COVID-19 in classrooms, months of outrage against “Critical Race Theory” and now accusations of grooming children, many public school teachers have decided to quit. This has left many school districts desperate for substitutes, let alone new full-time teachers. 

Thankfully, a recent post by the titular Q has led thousands of QAnon followers to take it upon themselves to apply for positions in their local schools.

“He said it is our civic duty to ensure today’s kids learn the real history of the United States,” said a local QAnon follower. “It’s frankly outrageous that the liberals in charge of schools have been hiding from our kids the truth about government pedophile rings, why Trump won the election and how Jews are to blame for everything. We have to save the children.”

While the push to address the lack of teachers started on 4chan, Fox News, Newsmax, even prominent Republican officials have urged conservatives to “do what’s right” and “ensure the next generation grows up to become patriots ready to defend this country from all those who oppose it from threats both inside and out.”

However, not all parents have been supportive. Many whose political beliefs don’t align with QAnon — and can afford it — have been enrolling their kids in private schools. 

A local parent told the Almanac, “As a parent in America, at the end of the day, all I care about is my kid. No expense is too great to make sure my kid both has a leg up and isn’t exposed to anything I don’t like.”

With many school districts laxening their requirements for teachers, it seems likely many QAnon believers will be teaching as soon as next school year. So far, they seem supportive of “liberals elites” getting their parental influence out of public schools.

“We are the first defense against another woke generation. These kids will know The Truth.”
