Covid zoom schools. Formerly oblivious and/or trusting parents were suddenly made aware of what their children were being taught. I'm sure you recall the upswing in parental complaints to administration, teachers voicing concern that parents were listening in on their child's lessons, etc.
In case no one recalls, here is one example.

Mr Kay is a highschool English teacher, so I don't know perhaps the parents would prefer he teach the students English?

He is also available for "antiracism" teacher training courses.
