If such significant percentages of teachers consider themselves “conservative,” then why are public school pupils not being educated appropriately in American history, government, civics, and traditional values? Do they fear that they will lose their jobs if they teach things considered “politically incorrect”?
Excellent questions, justiceseeker93. As usual, however, I have no excellent answers.
But, I think you are right in putting quotes around "conservative". The first thing would be to ask these teachers what they mean when they identify themselves as "conservatives".
Second, I think that textbook chosen by the district might provide a partial of the answer to your questions. Some texts are far better than others.
Thanks for the ping. Anti-individual, anti-life, anti-America group-think, group-speak permeates the socialist indoctrination centers in this country. I taught in Detroit public schools for a couple of years when I graduated from college (not so noticeable then). For the decade of the ‘90’s I subbed in 2 school districts for extra income as I held a full-time afternoon position in the auto industry. Every day in one district, I took notes and de-programmed the high-school students after they were fed garbage for 15 minutes at the start of the school day from televisions mounted on the walls in each room via Channel 1 (Anderson Cooper and others). The students really enjoyed my counterpoint/additional-information commentary as part of their “learning”. The kudos from former students still come to this day.
