Not many things shock me, but I confess that I have been shocked by what I have learned about the Edina public school system. Indoctrination in left-wing politics begins in elementary school, where children are taught the pernicious doctrine of “white privilege.” In Edina, not even bus drivers are exempt: they, too, are required to take political re-education classes.
Here are excerpts from some of the communications we have gotten from Edina parents and students. There are lots more at the links.
This one is from a student:
The day after the election I was texting my mom to pick me up from school and she almost had to!! Every teacher was crying in class, one even told the whole class “Trump winning is worse than 9/11 and the Columbine shooting.” The amount of liberal propaganda that was pushed every single day in class this year was worse than it’s ever been–and you’re bullied by the teachers and every student if you dare speak against it.
Yeah its horrible, the teachers can absolutely do whatever they want. The administration will do nothing about it!! The day of the election every single student was in the commons chanting “F*** TRUMP” and the teachers never did anything. A LOT of people are starting to complain and my mom has some friends who are leaving the school district.
A parent describes her daughter being abused in class in an email to a school administrator:
In talking with [my daughters], it came out that yesterday in my 10th grader’s AP World class, [the teacher] called out any Trump supporters and asked them to assure the class that they weren’t racist. Both my husband and I were aghast and we felt strongly that we should say something to you. …

If it’s from “Powerline” why no link?
My kids went to Edina schools. I tried to be the voice of sanity to counteract the propaganda, but I mostly failed with the girls. My son, however, is an Air Force TACP airman.
We need to get out of the hate loop to talking about what we love (once we really do love it).
I feel sad for modern lefties. They are trying to fill a God vacuum with a humanly organized communal world in which all individual identity is dissolved.
But I also feel sad for modern righties with their leave-us-aloneism which exacerbates polarization between people groups.
The only answer is a sincere no-kidding love of God. I’d tell the lefties, as an evangelist, that they are trying to do community the wrong way, and here’s why.
Edina, Missouri, or some other Edina?
How about IronJill?
Did she try to connect with the daughters?
Back in my day, I have no recollection of teachers having such strong reaction to an election.
To the contrary, I recall having discussions about the elections, with the teachers being more of a moderator, and not expressing opinions of their own,.
I recall one class, in which the class period was devoted to a debate. The teacher had Nixon people get in one corner, Humphrey supporters in another, and Wallace people in another. This was in 1968.
We were all encouraged to speak freely as I recall. There was no “politically correct” opinion imposed from above.
I would be surprised if nowadays, a public school felt free to devote class periods to the campaign, and discuss the relative merits of Trump and Hillary.
Minnesota. I lived in that sewer of a state for ten years. Anyone who did not worship Obama was treated like crap. Add to that absolute hatred of Texas and Texans.
I don't mind the 49 States spewing hatred for Texas... it may be our only defense method in keeping them out. They should also spread the rumors that our women are ugly, our food is terrible and we have no vacancies.
Thank you. Edina, Missouri, has fewer than 1,500 people. I didn’t recall its having its own high school, and a Google search shows it does not.
And still the press wonders why Trump was elected...
We are fighting a huge uphill battle....
Thanks
Whatever happened to the 4 W’s ? Who ? What ? Where ? and When ? The frequency of seeing reviews of articles being posted here lacking those basic essentials is disturbing.
Beside the political indoctrination that’s taking place in government schools which should be put to a screeching halt. Instruction on the basics needs a serious review.
As I compose this I’m listening to a so called conservative talk show host who’s topic is questioning teaching the value cursive writing. Because this jerk is questioning its value and emphasizes reliance on todays technology. What happens if one wants to review a letter great grandpa wrote to great grandma without that knowledge. Never mind affixing a signature. Which brings us to the teaching of analytical arithmetic and its politicization. Yielding kids that can’t even count.
Edina, MN
She’s a liberal. Don’t get me started ...
Today, what we call liberals are illiberal. A sacrilege of the old ideal of voluntary Christian generosity and philanthropy. The cure for the bad is to re introduce the good.
“But I also feel sad for modern righties with their leave-us-aloneism which exacerbates polarization between people groups.”

I have no idea what that means.

I guarantee you, it isn’t worse than I think. LOL
