Experts in <field> dislike it when laypeople treat <field> as unimportant and disregard it, also get even more upset when—still paying little attention to it but jumping on nonsense spouted by propagandists—laypeople pretend to know more about <field> then experts while undermining it by parroting dumbass conspiracy theories they are fed about <field>.

Seems perfectly normal, and common across fields of expertise, not “ironic” in any way.

I always love the hand-wave of Conspiracy Theory to label everything these days

It is not "Conspiracy Theory" when you have actual evidence, video evidence no less, and official statements from national organizations, and paper records all supporting the claims.

We're probably not talking about anything that has "actual evidence".

So the many many videos of teachers talking about all the things they do in class rooms, statements from the NEA, recording taken from the Remote Learning classrooms are not evidence?

Remember that is what started all of this, at the start of COVID both parents and students where home at the same time, and many parents started to observe their childs lessons in real time since they were conducted via remote learning.

This is what got the ball rolling as parents where shocked and alarmed at what they were hearing with their own ears coming from some of these "teachers"
