Generally, no. But then I don't post statements claiming that I am defending their right to do so against those who would attack it.
What? Huh?
The issue is one of who will decide what teachers will be allowed to teach. Few people would be in favor of complete freedom for individual teachers,
With you so far...except of course for that previous statement which is nonsensial to me,
yet some of them are willing to inaccurately claim they are defending such a right, when it supports a status quo of which they approve.
Lost me there. What's you point?
I'm sorry.
My original post was in reply to #247 from Dimensio, who claimed that he objects to teachers being told what to teach. In reality, he objects to teachers teaching anything he disagrees with. He is perfectly willing to use school boards to enforce what he agrees with, but objects to school boards forcing teachers to teach things he disagrees with.
My point was that his argument is not one of whether teachers are being forced to teach particular things. We are all in favor of that. It is with regard to which particular things teachers are forced to teach.
As I've mentioned elsewhere, he may have a defensible position. But it is one of which science is correct, not one of teachers being given full freedom to decide what to teach. So any claim to be defending teachers "freedom to choose" is simply a red herring.
