I'm a retired teacher and have been appalled and amazed at what I see on Facebook posts from former colleagues, people I had thought intelligent and honestly committed to their students and to learning. Omg, was I wrong. I honestly think for most of them it's not theater (or if it is, they have willingly suspended disbelief in their own performances). They really are that brainwashed, that narcissistically afraid for their lives. I'm left with bitter contempt for them and horror at what my profession has turned out to be.
