I can't answer your specific question. But it is clear that most public school teachers and administrators are pro-Demoncrat "liberals". You can bet that their political views are going to make it into your children's heads.
I have encountered several early-elementary-school-grade children (not mine) who come home after school and start spouting anti-Bush propaganda (e.g., "Bush started the war in Iraq to steal their oil", etc.). Who do you think put those ideas in their heads?
Here's some facts for you:
1. The National Education Association (NEA) is the single largest union in this country.
2. The NEA is very active in political lobbying. In fact, the NEA is the most powerful lobbying group in Washington DC.
3. The NEA is affiliated with the DSA: the Democratic Socialists of America (www.dsausa.org). DSA advocates turning America into a total socialist state (think the National Socialists of the Nazi party in Germany).
4. The most radical ultra-Leftist members of the Democratic Party (e.g., Pelosi, Waters, Sanders, McKinney etc.) are card-carrying members of the DSA.
Does that scare you enough to pull your children from the government-controlled indoctrination camps commonly known as "public schools"?
My question here is about how teachers may be frightening and propagandizing parents.
You raise good points, also note that Bush's plan includes accountability, the word strikes fear into the very heart of the NEA. Naturally they are opposed to Bush and are doing there best to have each child tell their parents to vote for Kerry.
