Should our educators be Liberal or Conservative?

Question

and WHY?

Answer 1

Frankly, I don't care whether or not someone is a Right or Left-Winger. I don't base my judgement on someone because of their political stance.. I want to see someone with character and morals, who's intelligent, true to their word, respectful, and who's not afraid to speak his mind and make a change for the better of this country and it's people.

Educators should be those who have a passion for teaching truth and history WITHOUT clouding others with their political or religious beliefs.

Answer 2

Educators should first and foremost be educatED!!

As well as education,other requirements should be: dedication,vocation, apptitude and enthusiasm for imparting knowledge.

As far as I know,no one political category of the two you mention(Liberal and Conservative) have a monopoly on the above.

To mr. Jessop just below me: you precisely proove my point!
No person who was truly educated would use or teach such words and the racial bigotry they represent. There have been and still are many ignorant Conservatives posing as educators. Conservatives do not have a monopoly on education,knowledge and teaching skills.
I am sure that others have equally sad remembrances or examples of some terrible personal prejudice taught by Libs.
A true educator will not impart unfounded subjective bias
as if it were the truth. A true educator will teach students how to seek knowledge for themselves,how to find the facts on which to base their thinking.

Further Editing(additional note):
a case in point would be YOUR (ex- dem.) very deficient education. I don't know if you were educated by libs or cons but whoever it was did a bad job(or maybe you were simply a bad student?). On another thread you have posted a reply that was categorically wrong TWICE.
You stated that the Philippines was never a colony of the U.S. (wrong;it had exactly this staus from 1898 to 1946) and that U.S. citizens who live abroad today HAVE to pay U.S. taxes. (wrong;if they are living and working abroad in a private capacity and pay taxes to the country where they live and work,they do not pay the same taxes to the U.S. Hundreds of thousands of U.S citizens live and work abroad in this way-not part of the Armed Forces or U.S. Embassies or U.S. Peace Corps). You could be excused for not knowing this. Your blunder about the Philippines is INEXCUSABLE!!!!!

Answer 3

are not we conceited. If one have been to look at balloting varieties, then a majority of those with IQ's above one hundred fifteen are arogant adequate to desire to reshape the international and human nature in accordance to the their needs. they are the leading edge. a plenty extra advantageous team, those with IQs under 80 5 are the proletariate. Conservatives tend to be in teh center of the bell curve and as an combination have a much better IQ. besides the shown fact that, we don't be conscious this through fact that's the outliers who could clearly get the attention, and the media is administered by employing the left. it rather is to no longer say that there are no longer conservatives with severe IQs. i do no longer choose to toot my horn, yet I even have an IQ of one hundred forty four and went to Columbia. Educators tend to be liberal for quite a few motives a million) The left made a concerted attempt to take over academia. This improve into genuinely CPUSA coverage interior the Thirties. 2) Educators tend to be alienated intellectuals. in addition to, they sense that they are underpayed. 3) The minority Conservatives are persecuted, kept away from and brazenly no longer employed. this potential fewer and much less conservatives connect the onnanistic psychological pool in many circumstances used as academia.

Answer 4

First of all, you are not going to get many conservatives to pursue a career in teaching. Most conservatives are by nature doers. It goes to the old saying, "Those that can do. Those that can't teach."
Teaching is a career field for non-achievers. Sorry if that insults some people, but that's a fact. The teaching field has the lowest possible risk factor related to job security. The only other career field that enjoys that low rick factor is a UAW assembly job.
Most conservatives are achievers, risk takers, natural leaders, and pursue careers that build wealth. To ask a person with that drive to take a deadend job like teaching is absurd.

Answer 5

I think either is acceptable as long as the extreme right or left is eliminated. I had a history professor who was an extreme right wing advocate and the grades in his class were apparent and if you were smart you just wrote your papers with a right wing slant and get a decent grade.
There are common beliefs held and shared by the majority of most reasonably educated citizens in this great democracy and it's unfortunately the extremes that seem to dominate the press.
The press on the other hand is a whole different ball of wax and often control the issues. I believe the news media has gone too far in either direction. Journalism has lost it's meaning.
Thanks

Answer 6

It doesn't matter what they are; they should keep their opinions to themselves and let the parents raise their own children. If you are talking about college professors, they should only preach their opinion in classes where students will be graded for listening (like a political science, or sociology class).
My son had to listen to an hour of his math teacher droning about how the president stole money from congress, and why the war we are in is such a big lie. THIS IS A MATH CLASS, PEOPLE!!! If you don't want to take the time to teach your kids about sex, or politics, or religion, that's fine. Just remember that there are others out there who may not be as informed as you who are trying to persuade your children to look at the world in a different way than it actually is.

Answer 7

Neutral! There should be no personal influence in the shaping of the lives of our youth. The facts should be put in front of them and they should be encouraged to use their minds to think for themselves.
We don't need spoon fed robots. These young people should have their discussions in their own groups without influence of either liberal or conservative views.
They should be free to choose what they feel is right.
Teachers are not their to express their opinions, just the facts without prejudice or bias.

Answer 8

Educators should first be honest and open - my mother had strong political views (which changed over her long life) and she always made the point that it was more important to have a belief and value system than to have a particular one. I think that that is the most valuable lesson of all.

Answer 9

Liberal, yes, conservative, no.

My 6th grade teacher opened the eyes of this bigoted southern lad, many decades ago, to the evils of racism. Before that, I used the "n" word without thinking because all the adults I knew did too. She was a "Roosevelt Liberal" who supported integration and the concept of equal pay for equal work.

Thank the Lord God Jehovah, God of all the universe, for people like her.

PS - Within 2 or 3 years, I encountered bigoted conservative educators. Most of them were coaches in their spare time. They told "n" word jokes given half a chance, and were human devolution to 1861 personified.

Answer 10

Educators must be either liberal or conservative as long as they teach only the good aspects of their beliefs.
