00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,960
School districts across the country are facing
a teacher shortage,

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:04,880
fueled by burnout and low pay.

3
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:06,880
In Texas, many blame politics.

4
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,840
Last year, Ramsers district saw a forty
percent jump in

5
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:13,600
resignations and retirements after new
conservative school board members pushed

6
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,480
to remove hundreds of books and restrict
lessons about race

7
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:18,720
and LGBTQ identities.

00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:22,000
The woke teachers who've been pushing their
woke ideologies, these

9
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,160
teachers have been pushing this woke radical
crap.

00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:26,880
Well, I mean, the grooming factor, right?

11
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:31,280
Teachers complicit in grooming children with
child pornography materials.

12
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,920
These books that have explicit sexual content,
and some of

13
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,640
these books are encouraging kids to go online
to adult

14
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:37,200
websites.

15
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,520
You also have all the identity um stuff that's
if

16
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,920
I call them a groomer, is that hate speech or

17
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:42,960
is it factual?

18
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,360
The district declined to respond to NBC News
about this

19
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,160
specific case, but acknowledged it has more
openings this year

20
00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:51,280
than last year, saying many other school
districts, not only

21
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,400
in Texas but across the nation, are also
experiencing this

22
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,360
declining retention rate of teachers and other
employees.
