Teaching Progressive/Leftist Ideology in our Schools

Then it seems that righties need to get an education so they can teach too. Are they just too dumb to teach college or can't they keep down a job? Why have "lefties" taken over education? Were the righties all too busy watching ball games and attending hate rallies?

By the way, local school boards primarily choose the curriculum for K-12. And they are locally elected. So why can't righties get elected? Are they just too dumb or can't they hold down a job?

 

So let's pick one

This course will examine process of ethical decision making through reflection and discussion of philosophical dilemmas presented on the Twilight Zone television show. Ethics is not merely what is good or what bad, virtue and vice, but often requires decisions of the greater good or lesser evil. The course will introduce students to great thinkers in the field of moral philosophy and explore topics such as honesty, loyalty, love, and faithfulness, as well as narcissism, prejudice, and vanity.

The Twilight Zone was a series first produced in 1959. That was over 60 years ago. So your position is that ethics and values from 1959 are the same as left-wing ethics today.

Interesting. By your own logic, in order to make America great again, the left wing has the right message.

 

That you had a problem comprehending the content says volumes!

 

As previously stated your link was IRRELEVANT to the matter under discussion!

Strike THREE!

Thank you for DISQUALIFYING yourself from any further meaningful responses as far as I am concerned.

Have a nice day!

 

Trolling CONTENT above ignored for obvious reasons.

 

.

 

I see you still couldn't come up with one cogent or even one frivolous example of your assertion that Republicans suppress voters' rights and support racism. No problem for I'm not going to blame you for not being up to speed on current political events.

 

A question, is it possible for republicans to suppress voters' rights and support racism?

 

It is possible that Republicans suppress voters' rights and support racism; as it is possible that I'm a flaming liberal in disguise trying to get under the skins of any or all of those reprehensible/deplorable Republicans that may have a membership here.

 

Asinine FALSEHOODS confirm that the content is TROLLING!

 

So this is confirmation that any evidence presented to you will be ignored.

 

Not any real evidence for sure, but go ahead and supply me with what would be considered real evidence, and then I'll give comment as to its legitimacy or not.

 

Voter suppression is a leftwing myth....... or it has been since the sixties.

 

Outside of places like Liberty or BYU, you're unlikely to encounter too many honest-to-goodness conservatives, especially social conservatives. What that would mean for would-be conservative professors considering grad school is that you have the opportunity to work your ass off to be at best, an unwanted guest in someone else's club. It would be understandable that young conservatives (like I was at a time long ago) would look to seek fields where they are neither unicorns nor potential pariahs, or if they do pursue a career in academia, self-censor their views.

Then there is the issue of money. Academia is a tough field that requires years of study followed by time needed to earn tenure, assuming a tenure-track position is even available. During that time the pay is lousy, and once you get the tenure the money is still not great. It's just got to be the capitalist nature of the conservative that fuels him or her to avoid going through a low paying ordeal as to be a part of a profession basically reserved for two types of people: Those that are independently wealthy, and those that don't make more than $50,000 a year in their chosen career. Again, my capitalist nature guided me away from settling for a guaranteed $50,000-a-year salary, and the fact that I'm not independently wealthy made my choice not to become a professor quite easy.

There aren't many conservatives who have killer resumes that can land them high-paying jobs, but would instead choose to take a drastic pay cut potentially for the rest of their lives.

I and other intelligent conservatives will always take the financially secure path of Capitalism/Conservatism over that of a tenured progressive socialistic professor any day.

 

That's not the way it works in CO. The curriculum is largely mandated by the state, which in turn is compelled to comply with guidelines from the Dept. of Ed. Because my wife is a retired teacher half of our social network is retired teachers so I am well versed in the inner workings of public schools here.

 

That's nuts. I can speak from personal experience and that of the friends I've had conversations with in saying every university we've all attended has had politically conservative members of the faculty. Not to mention that in many classes politics just doesn't come up.

 

If that's so then my educated guess is that any conservative professor one might see at a university would be an elderly one who had made lots of retirement $$ from a non-university occupation to where they could easily and financially afford to spread their conservative/capitalist message to the young liberals just entering the land of higher education. But to take issue with your assertion that there are many conservative professors throughout our land, Ill just note that in all the colleges and universities in New England (where there are some mighty fine ones like Harvard and Yale et al) the liberal professors outnumber conservative professors by a 28-1 margin. If you want proof, I'll be glad to give it to you.

 

So this is confirmation that any evidence presented to you will be considered illegitimate.

 

Dodging facts is your only move at this point. The question is not whether or not teachers/professors use their influence to push political views, the question is how much.

 

So all of those red states are putting liberals in charge of education? Again you have to ask why?

Course the first thing the righties try to do is to force the bible myth down the throats of people too young to know better.

Speaking as one who was indoctrinated into religion at a very young age, I can tell you the damage lasts a lifetime.

 

Just curious as to what exactly it was that the teaching of the Bible or the teaching of religion in general at your young age
created this lifetime damage you speak of? I was taught very leftist ideals during jr. high and high school by what we would
consider today to be hard lefty teachers, and was taught about the Muslim religions of the Mideast and those that spew hatred for
Americans while belittling, beating and murdering their own women, yet their religion (as disastrous and hate-filled as they are)
never managed to damage me in the least as I went on living a very happy Christian life.

 

I wonder if the issue here was the 1619 project's version of history:

 

It would be just as appalling if it was Conservative ideology. But, anyways, it is not a secret to anyone that academia is messed up for reasons much deeper than there just being a couple of postmodern courses at a couple of colleges.
