While I applaud your sentiment, it still won't solve the problem.
One of my daughters, a junior in high school, is fairly outspoken and will get in her teachers' faces sometimes because she is tired of the indoctrination, dumbing down, and low standards that exist at her school.
In her economics class, she asked her teacher where Stimulus money came from. At first he told her, "oh, the air...in the trees". She pressed him for an answer at which time she was told this was not an "appropriate" subject to be discussed in (ECONOMICS) class!
She told me about it and I asked her if she knew where the money came from - she said, "not really", so I told her that we borrowed it and that the government also just printed a bunch of new money and injected it into the system.
She went back to her teacher and told him she found out that we paid for Stimulus by borrowing and printing money, but he told her that it was "not really correct", and she should be careful of her sources when finding answers on her own.
The story goes on, but she eventually got the student teacher observing the class to acknowledge that she was correct.
Wow, that is a horrific story.
I wasn’t even referring to general politics in the classroom - but rather to the conscription of our children to fight the teachers’ battles for higher wages and continued collective bargaining.
Your story just shows how far the system has fallen. There used to be such a thing as social studies classes which took on the task of explaining how our government worked - without a political agenda from the left.
