“Leftists fear that five minutes of conservative thought will undo four years of left-wing teaching.”

Because it will.

"The Left Ruins Everything"

Interesting, but well known:

We have yet to grasp just how truly evil Democrats have become.

I have watched nearly all of PragerU videos, and I think this one is probably my favorite:

I Learned More at McDonalds Than at College

Can't have young kids seeing THIS kind of thing, but all the other filth put forth by the Left, well...that's all good.

The communists have a stranglehold on public education that needs to be broken..and soon. They cannot stand the very idea of critical individual thought at any level. They need to be gone.

Not true. I’m well aware of their neogenocidal tendencies.

Keep your powder dry.

"...We have yet to grasp just how truly evil Democrats have become..."

I think, seeing the Obama, Biden and Clinton Family Crime outfits, we have finally got a good idea.

Astonishingly, it looks like the Bidens might be the most disgusting and corrupt, which is saying a lot. At least Bill Clinton wasn't knowingly empowering sexual abuse of his family members like Biden, although he and Obama were selling our country out to our enemies.

The best part is that all this uproar on the left will ensure that 10x the number of students will now view the PragerU videos than if the left ignored the assignment.

There was an article last week about how Harvard faculty choked on a Charles Murray presentation. There was a most excellent reply to a faculty crank in the comments section of the article that is worth reposting:

"so why should we let someone teach social science that we know to be wrong in our social science courses?"

Because it is possible that you are wrong.
Science is not mathematics. Newtonian physics was wrong.
And social science is a further three rungs down in certainty from science.

Your level of certainty and arrogance about what can be said, and probably thought, smacks of religion, and not science. This is a political religion that permeates academia at the moment. And which I am fairly sure you will swear does not infect you, while the rest of us can see the symptoms quite plainly.

Only religions ban heretics from speaking because of the wrong-think they might cause. Real science loves a good heretic. In fact, honestly, the entire goal of science is to be a heretic. To have an idea that no other person ever had. Science is the pretty much the antithesis of your thought-police approach.

And most of academia used to be the antithesis of your thought police approach as well, until the religion of leftism took it over, with the direct help of people like you.

They fear ANY opportunity for our children to hear anything contrary to their religion (cultural Marxism).

They will NOT allow a conservative camel’s nose under THEIR tent (though they’ve shoved their leftist camels noses into tents all over America for decades).

This event speaks loudly of their insecurity about their dogma. They know in their hearts that leftism/socialism/communism does not happen unless coerced and forced the masses.

The children are the cultural Marxists’ future. Have been for many decades.

Our children have been specifically targeted a century by our pubic schools, news, media, churches and now social media.

We had John Dewey’s early 1900’s Progressive (Marxist) anti-home schooling influence, followed by The Frankfurt School’s mid-1900’s social Marxist plan for children, then Hollywood’s 1950’s communist influences, then NEA’s No God push in our schools.

Then, the 1960’s CPUSA push of college youts for war protests, drug use and wanton fornication, then the 1980’s sitcoms ridiculing parents, then the 1990’s queer push, then the 2000’s self-esteem facade.

Now, MSM, SJW groups and social media are pushing "social justice" and stirring them to riot and destroy -- the anarchy needed before stepping in as heros to "save America".

Liberals will have conservative programs on as background noise to keep themselves believing they are independent.

the entire left ALWAYS collapses in the face of rational thought and decision-making.

proving socialism/communism are thought disorders

The unintended consequence of liberal outrage.

Thanks Howard Zinn and Bill Ayers.

Marxists believe Marxism explains not only social science but ALL science.

It is a religion to them and Karl Marx is their infallible prophet

School debate team activities must be a real laugh considering one viewpoint would always be considered unthinkable
