A mother at a Wisconsin public school said her daughters eighth grade class was assigned a worksheet with some eyebrow-raising definitions for conservatism and liberalism.
Conservatism, it stated in part, believes in preserving traditional moral values by restricting personal freedoms while liberalism is for equality and personal freedom for everyone.
This is indoctrination, Tamra Varebrook, a Republican activist in Racine, Wis., told TheBlaze on Thursday after her 13-year-old daughter showed her the crossword-style vocabulary sheet from Union Grove Elementary School earlier this week. Varebrook first talked about the assignment with the news arm of the conservative Education Action Group.
Varebrook said she complained to Brenda Stevenson, district administrator at Union Grove, who apologized profusely and said it never should have been taught. Varebrook was told the teacher was required to correct the definition to the class Wednesday while the assistant principal observed.

As if this makes this ok. Just an oops on the part of the teacher?
Hey, kid, it’s not the conservatives trying to take away your first amendment (with speech codes, hate speech laws) and second amendment rights.
As a limited government conservative who believes in specifically Christian morality, which was specifically a foundation of the United States Constitution, I say let Americans be free of Federal oversight on their morality, specifically charity (welfare), abortion, and "normalized" homosexuality. For instance, instead of just allowing a situation where a place could clearly discriminate in favor of homosexuals (which is the case now for all real purposes), to allow a situation where a place could also specifically refuse to negotiate with open homosexuals on those moral grounds. Go some place else. No harm, no foul.
Let each place find its level in the real world marketplace. In a free and moral America, people could politely, legally exclude declared homosexuality as equally as they could welcome it. Liberals restrict that personal freedom.
In a free America, people could fish and farm and produce food for themselves and others. Liberals restrict their personal freedom with crushing environmental regulation. In a free America, people can deal with their own doctors as they please. Liberals restrict their personal freedom with Obamacare.
Get the Federal government out of the way of people living morally and productively, and watch America stand up.

I am old enough to remember that Union Grove was known only as the site of the only drag strip in Wisconsin.
It’s a terrible set of definitions moderate should be apolitical as a moderate by has a political view
