I see this daily in my own classrooms.
“America’s educational institutions are failing to provide the next generation with venues where the free and open exchange of ideas can flourish...
There’s lots of venues to exchange ideas and learn enough to form new idea.
I didn’t come to my decision on “climate change” based on FR folks saying man made climate change is a lie.
I read A LOT on both sides and came to the conclusion that there were too many inconsistencies and outright lies on the believers’ part.
And also conservative parents need to take an active role in helping shape their children’s’ minds.

Why is there even discussion of anything “political” in any class except Social Studies?
I was in school during watergate and Carter. It was never brought up as part of the discussion outside of journalism class.
