The teacher does upper level math. If it’s anything like the classes I had, we didn’t discuss anything else. I was always working hard just to get the math down. No time for politics.
It makes no more sense to assume a teacher is a sell-out liberal because they receive a taxpayer funded check, than it does to assume a soldier is a sell-out liberal because he receives a taxpayer funded check.
Am I to asume that you are a graduate of a college of education? Is **this** what they are teaching in the nation's colleges of education? Huh?
A fundamental responsibility of government is to provide for the national defense. It is one of the major reasons we have government and that government is necessary.
Education is not a fundamental responsibility of government.

By upper level math do you mean Calculus for science and math majors? This is the first time that I have heard that Calculus for science and math majors was required for education majors. Calculus, by the way, is a fundamental gateway course to upper levels of science and math. Personally I don't consider Calculus to be “advanced”.
Personally, I think all teachers in our socialist K-12 schools should be required to take the **same** calculus I course as science and math majors ( sitting side by side with them). No, most teachers do not need calculus for the subjects they teach but it will assure two things: 1) they are smart enough to be worthy of the job, 2) they won't communicate their math phobia to their students.
