Keep politics out of the schools. Right or Left, it is wrong.

Never seems to be an issue when leftists do it.

But if you really want to get the politics out of the schools, you should get the government out of them.

That would ease the problem considerably.

As a College Professor who teaches Religion and History, I can tell you that is NOT possible. While a good teacher can articulate both (or all) sides of a given issue, in many cases the students themselves will make the connections to current issues that relate to past events or underlying philosophical/ideological principles. The GOOD Teacher can GUIDE the discussion — even debate/encourage debate — without totally tipping his/her hand on their personal beliefs usually.

It should NOT, however, be a goal to separate current events from their historic/philosophical roots — THAT is why the LEFT has been SO good at indoctrinating our children, because they’ve learned that the FIRST step to indoctrination is to separate their reality with the events that produced that reality... Empty, uncritical minds are perfect canvasses on which they paint THEIR vision of Amerika.
