Oh, I know a lot about this. My mother, who is also Republican, teaches second grade, and she recently left the Teacher's Union organization (Or something along those lines) that she had belonged to because of how incredibly liberal it had become. Also, from personal experience, I know a great deal about it. I have had many extremely liberal teachers at my college, one of whom I'll be mentioning on my profile later on, who force their political beliefs on us, and rarely if ever present things from an opposing point of view, or if they do, they do so in an insulting manner. For instance, in my Epistemology class, the teacher was discussing Marxism with us. I brought up Ronald Reagan's famous quote, "Communists are those who read the works of Marx and Lenin. Anti- Communists are those who understand the works of Marx and Lenin." When I said that, my teacher said something like, "Ronald Reagan's said a lot of crazy things," and he and some other students spent the next couple minutes bringing up all these stupid things that they claim Reagan said during his presidency.
It's so sad that there is such a bias among an otherwise noble profession.

This article is about a specific instance of left-facism in British teachers unions, but it goes into a more general discussion of treason and leftist intellectuals:
