Look up John Taylor Gatto. You can find many of his talks on YouTube. Many articles can be found, including this one (Direct Link to PDF)

Here the teachers are required to use an abomination called "Eureka Math". The materials are horribly written--they need a Grammar Cop with a Cat O Nine Tails to go to that company's headquarters and, um, take care of business.

Here's the main site:

Here's a sampling of the materials, which should give you a good idea of the horrors the students here face. As I frequently tell the students, "I can get you to the answer, but I can't (or won't) write a 20-paragraph essay on how I got to the answer".

Oh you'd get to keep your job if you conformed. It's your mind that would be at risk of being lost.
