    Not a part of their curriculum I suppose, the teacher should be sanctioned if that is really true.

    Perhaps it's worth asking whether, if you hold fast to your common sense, they will accept you.
    Actually presenting both sides can be brainwashing, if one side is clearly idiotic but is presented as equally as worthy of consideration as the other.

    Either it’s clearly idiotic or it’s not. If it’s clearly idiotic you can’t pass it off as equal. Makes no sense.

    It is weird that conservatives, and the uneducated regularly say such things, that the educated and the non-conservative is brainwashed and their thoughts are uniform, and all that, but the reality on the ground shows something quite different.

    Whereas there are a great many issues in which liberals/Democrats/progressives/the Left mostly agree, like the need for a universal healthcare system. Yet one never sees the lockstep obedience to false and misleading information on the left that is abundant on the right.

    That is what is so clear, how often the right is lockstep on things that are factually incorrect. Like the time y’all were convinced that Jim Acosta had hit an aide, over a microphone, at one of Trump’s unhinged news conference. The right was calling for his head, until it was proven that all of conservative land had been led astray by an altered video and a false narrative.

    The mischaracterization of the impeachment testimony and evidence, by the right has likewise proceeded in a lockstep manner.

    But then I have noticed this my whole life as conservatives also tend to mischaracterize liberals, in ways that are ignorant in a lock step fashion.

    The best schools tend to have the best students. Places like Harvard and MIT don’t have better teachers, or a better curriculum than state public universities. They are just more selective in who they allow in.

    Look around the country, at every school district where academic performance is low, one finds a neighborhood full of undereducated adults with limited opportunities. In those school districts where students do really well, the surrounding neighborhoods tend to have a percentage of college educated adults.

    Intelligence is innate. People don’t become more intelligent over time. They just gain more knowledge and experience. Smart babies grow up to be smart children who grow up to be smart adults. One cannot teach a dim person enough to make them smart.

    Reading is a good example of innate intelligence. About 10% or so of children learn to read with almost no instruction. Just read to them a few times and they pick it right up. Another 10% or so will never be able to read at any proficiency, no matter how much instruction is given. Everyone else can usually learn well enough with sufficient instruction to varying degrees.

    Schools provide an important societal function. They tend to sort out the bright from the dim, the exceptional from the mediocre. The sociable from the unsociable.

    Most “propaganda” in public schools is just the national narrative, myths and all. The Pilgrim story, the first Thanksgiving, George Washington cut down a cherry tree, how the founders planted the tree of liberty, the shining city on the hill, that we are a country of immigrants, the melting pot of the world.

    We see it daily. It is called false equivalency. It is like saying creation science has the same validity as biological and geological evolution. Which Republican congressmen have passed resolutions in the House stating such absurdities.

    The problem being, what is clearly idiotic to the commonsensically inclined is not so to the gullible.
    On the contrary, it's done all the time. How else can there be debates about the legitimacy of "same sex marriage" and "transgenderism"?

    The communist America is the bad guy narrative is a lie anyone teaching them should be stripped of their accreditation as they are bad people teaching evil things to influence childeren.

    Communism is straight from the pit of hell. Literally.. progressiveism is communism.

    From Satan to Marx to you.

    Communism is Satan's plan for the destruction of everything good.

    "Liberal professors outnumber conservatives nearly 12 to 1, study finds"

    https://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/oct/6/liberal-professors-outnumber-conservatives-12-1/

    "In a shocking statement, Robert Brandon, chair of the philosophy department, set the issue clearly: "We try to hire the best, smartest people available. If, as John Stuart Mill said, stupid people are generally conservative, then there are lots of conservatives we will never hire." Did you get that? According to the chairmen of the philosophy department at Duke University, conservative people are generally stupid and stupid people are generally conservative. How's that for intellectual sophistication, a commitment to diversity, and tolerance for diverse political perspectives?

    And your assertion here is based on your study of creation science, biology, and geological evolution? Or is it based on what you’ve been told?

    Thanks for providing examples. I should have asked for some...
    In these cases you are debating people who have already been brainwashed. If they had been presented both sides of the argument without comprehensive coaching on conclusions, there wouldn’t be much debate.

    The gullible are not inherently gullible. They are an intentionally created class of people.

    For the record, same sex marriage debate is a result of both sides being ignorant. The state should have no involvement in marriage. It’s authoritarian in nature. Not a fan.

    Or maybe your thinking is off.

    There are NOT many genders.

    On a worldwide basis whites are the least racist race.

    The planet will NOT be destroyed in 20 years by global warming. If libs believe otherwise they should stop driving cars.

    Trump is NOT fascist. Apparently wanting to have a border is fascist to deranged libs.

    Maybe you should spend 30 years paying taxes.

    Why do you expect that? They are maintained by political bodies, and, thus, the curriculums are decided by political means.

    Why should the authority of the government be accepted as objectively legitimate? It exists only as a myth and by those who believe (ie. Faith) in authority, not by any evidence or fact.

    The left is all about love apparently. For some reason when I read comments such as yours, I mentally hear Frank Zappa's "Who Needs the Peace Corp" playing in my brain.

    You are blinded by partisanship. Remember Michael Brown, Nick Sandmann, Trump called white supremacists fine people, and on and on? You are not living in reality.

    Read this.

    They actually have very poor teachers compared to other institutions.
    A lot of parents don’t care about their children’s education. I can agree with that.

    There is all kinds of propaganda in schools. And I don’t see the kind you describe as being harmless. Quite the contrary.

    On intelligence and IQ, for Pete’s sake, educate yourself.

    My son was in high school not too long ago. The worst part of school isn’t the teachers, although they do teach from an AOC perspective. The worst part of school is the students.

    My son’s best friend’s car was hit at a McDonalds parking lot by an illegal alien who spoke no English, had no drivers license, and had no auto insurance. He got on twitter and complained about the “damned illegal that hit my car”. His life was threatened at school for weeks by leftist students.

    The teachers may say “Orangeman bad” in their class, but at least they never physically threaten their students.

    When you say most, exactly how many are you referring to? What is your source? Or did you mean that's your opinion? I'm a Democrat and those labels don't apply to me or any other Democrats I know personally. But, we're off topic here.
    I too noticed a lot of difference in the different departments. Of course, entry level courses tend to be binge and purge style learning because you have to know the basics before you can move on to the specifics. And at the higher levels, History majors would be researching to form their own opinions of historical events. Once I got all the 100 level classes out of the way, there was no use for any study groups because testing was usually essay testing. It's been a while since I was there, but my guess is that this mind control narrative may have some validity; however, it's being pounded in to us by a media that flourishes on the hate, rage, and drama it stirs up. In other words, a minority of radicals becomes a source of revenue for media.
