I can tell you that the fabulously well-endowed private school I substitute teach at in my retirement (20 years in a Catholic high school, and not at that school) has brought in both Common Core and Mac computers for the entire student body, and in the main, predicated the entire curriculum on the computer. And I can tell you that the programs lead students where they are intended to go: a “harmonic convergence” of Leftist worldview.

It's the educational software, not the Mac. Up until it was possible to search the internet for anything, every Mac had the US Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Gettysburg Address on it when it was sold. Steve Jobs insisted on it. Macs can use conservative software as well as "Common Crap" software.

WOW, that's right. I'd forgotten about that feature.

Damn, I miss Steve Jobs. Asshole or not personally, he had some mighty fine attitudes regarding America, and he acted on them.

We’re the docs in Encarta? I don’t recall that or that Jobs mandated it. I DO remember the signatures of the original Mac development team were inscribed in the cases of the original Mac, however.

Yes, of course, just as a GTO can dragrace Saturday night and drive Grandma to church
Sunday morning. It appears that the generally Leftist slant of the education industry,
coupled with the average teacher's acquiescence when presented with a tool that makes
the job easier, play directly into corporate political correctness. It seems to be that what is "mainstream" has become what is Progressive.
