This should come as news to nobody who reads this site. The American education system, in particular the public and collegiate sectors, is a cesspool of left-wing propaganda. Some estimate over 80% of public school teachers and over 90% of private college professors are left-leaning. While some are doing their jobs properly and teaching our children in an unbiased fashion, many are not.
They use schools to indoctrinate our kids.
The latest outrageous example was uncovered by the Federalist:
Emails Reveal Teachers Plotting To Hide Their Political Bias From Parents
It was late on a cold and snowy New England evening in February 2017, and Newton North history teacher Isongesit Ibokette was venting at his keyboard about the new guidelines for avoiding bias in teaching. They had been sent out by Newton North’s principal that morning, prompted by the general ill will among teachers for the new occupant of the White House.
The guidelines asked teachers to remain objective while teaching about historical and current events; and to treat all students, regardless of political opinion, with respect. Teachers were told: “For current controversial issues (health care, immigration, environmental policies, gun laws), teach students that there are different perspectives and present the reasoning of those who hold those different perspectives.”
Ibokette was having none of it. He typed this reply: “I am concerned that the call for ‘objectivity’ may just inadvertently become the most effective destructive weapon against social justice,” and sent it to the members of Newton North’s history department.
The only surprising part about this is the boldness in which the teachers involved put their bias on display. They wear their social justice promotion as a badge of honor, one that they proudly display despite the clear calling of their profession to be objective and educational.
When your liberal friends or family members try to claim education is so bad because of conservatives, be sure to point out that our education system is one of the most left-leaning aspects of American life.
