Yes, if you’d asked me during school (either HS or college) what party my teachers were in, thankfully I would have had no clue!
Seems like that’s how it should be - the schools have been hijacked by unions and the Dim party, driving out people who have the time or money for home or private schooling. The remaining kids are indoctrinated and/or outright harassed to the n-th degree.
Mostly true for me, too - back in Eisenhower Administration days. But there was one exception; a teacher gave a homework assignment question, “Do we have to do what society says?” I concluded that the answer was no. In class the teacher responded to that answer by saying, “We like to use the word “society” when we are talking about the government.”To me that was a blatant tell. I was not then familiar with the first two paragraphs of Thomas Paine's Common Sense
SOME writers have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them; whereas they are not only different, but have different origins. Society is produced by our wants, and government by our wickedness; the former promotes our happiness POSITIVELY by uniting our affections, the latter NEGATIVELY by restraining our vices. The one encourages intercourse, the other creates distinctions. The first is a patron, the last a punisher.It certainly clarifies the issue.Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one: for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries BY A GOVERNMENT, which we might expect in a country WITHOUT GOVERNMENT, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer. Government, like dress, is the badge of lost innocence; the palaces of kings are built upon the ruins of the bowers of paradise. For were the impulses of conscience clear, uniform and irresistibly obeyed, man would need no other lawgiver; but that not being the case, he finds it necessary to surrender up a part of his property to furnish means for the protection of the rest; and this he is induced to do by the same prudence which in every other case advises him, out of two evils to choose the least. Wherefore, security being the true design and end of government, it unanswerably follows that whatever form thereof appears most likely to ensure it to us, with the least expense and greatest benefit, is preferable to all others.
Most history teachers in my HS, other than my 11th grade teacher who was more conservative than Rush Limbaugh were liberal leaning. But, they did encourage respectful debates among the issues of the day and encouraged us skullfuls of mush to learn the facts and THINK FOR OURSELVES.
