Is it time that we outlawed political indoctrination within our schools?

Question

My previous post states that political indoctrination has been outlawed in UK schools.

Wouldn't that be a wise choice for us, also?

I found most of the college professors I had who ran on and on at the mouth about their political beliefs and ideologies to be completely repulsive.

Excellent answer, Jeremy!

You got it, BRYAN. I well remember the arguments I engaged my profs in and the rough-riding I received afterwards.

Answer 1

When u want to continue a regime, of whatever kind, what do u do? You recruit the minds of the young because they are still impressionable and their minds can be manipulated.

Answer 2

At first, you might think yes. Liberalism is running rampant in American schools and its interfering with honest learning. Some examples, read the first if nothing else, it's astonishing and it's pure socialism.:

I've personally seen it. I had a psychology professor that gave me a failing grade on a midterm because I called the professor out in class one day. For a week straight she had talked about nothing but evolution and the "Christian extremists" attempts to suppress the scientific community. Finally I asked her how it related to the class and her response was "you're obviously one of them." After asking the Dean to re-grade my midterm, I got an A-.

I was taking a Kinesiology class my senior year. On the first day of class, the instructor told us exercise was important and if we didn't exercise we would all end up as fat slobs just like Rush Limbaugh. When I pointed out that there were lots of overweight liberals, The instructor told me to leave because I was "disrupting the class." I quickly dropped the class and replaced it.

My biggest concern with all of this isn't that's its liberals running our schools. Its that liberals are suppressing speech, ideas and debate within or schools and shoving political opinions down students' throats when politics have nothing to do with the subject matter. Passing a law telling teachers what they can or cannot discuss wouldn't be much different that what liberals are doing now. Ultimately, parents and communities are going to have to start holding these people responsible. And students are going to have to start standing up for themselves. They are the only ones who really know whats going on in the classrooms.

Answer 3

Yes, it would!!

I know several Alaskan families who fight with the school EVERY fall over taking their kids moose hunting. Learning how to take care of themselves and become self-sufficient apparently isn't a good enough reason to miss school anymore.

A local family made it's money logging. One of the kids in the family was riding along with his grandmother one day, and they passed a man cutting down an old, rotten tree. The poor kid burst into tears....when his grandmother asked him what was wrong, he replied, "that man is going to kill us all if he cuts down the trees!" Where did he get such a stupid idea? SCHOOL.

Teachers say they don't have time to raise our kids - and they're right - they don't! So QUIT TRYING TO!

Answer 4

Yes, it's pathetic.
Liberal professors actually failing students or marking them off if they don't like their political viewpoint.
Tell one of these pompous morons that there's NO consensus on Global Warming and they go ballistic.
Tell one of them that the reason for every single thing that has happened in history is NOT George W Bush and their derangement comes out and you get a D.

I personally believe any teacher caught pushing any political agenda on his or her students should be removed from the profession immediately.

Answer 5

The British decide grow to be astute sufficient to instruct faculties that the action picture should not be shown without person supervision. i think of, if no longer for political correctness, he might have long previous directly to assert that the youngsters shouldn't see Al Gore without supervision. So, the action picture is rated R and it grow to be made by using a guy who could desire to be dealt with as a pedophile. of path, the communist instructors union in the US alongside with the ACLU might in no way enable such solid experience to be triumphant on American soil.

Answer 6

It is time we sent every so called higher education to jail for it. And the entire left fro treason.

Answer 7

Maybe they need to apply the Fairness Doctrine in our schools. See how the libs like that.

Answer 8

I assure you that the teachers do not care enough about the students to do political indoctrination.

Answer 9

how widespread is that,i have only heard of a few extremes. let's just teach the children more than how to pass a proficiency test.

added for your add. it is hard to control what is taught in college

Answer 10

I would like to see that, but its not going to happen. Too many liberals in the education system.
