Politics in our schools

See, now, I think we could be confusing 'Liberal Indoctrination' with bad teaching.

I work with a LOT of science educators, and any science teacher that doesn't begin by making sure the kids understand that science is about concrete observation and expriment, and that this process produces ideas that you test, and that scienticic 'truths' change and devleop

IS A BAD SCIENCE TEACHER! They have not taught you what Science is.

If they teach you in American History that Westward expansion in America was a purely wonderful thing (as I was certainly taught) this is not conservative bias, this is BAD HISTORY TEACHING, because History is never purely wonderful.

There are a lot more bad teachers out there than good ones. Teaching is hard. That's problem. But I think people who look back at their mediocre education, which almost all of us had, and work to align it with the particular chip they have on their shoulder, (it's all the liberals fault, it's all the conservatives fault) are mostly looking for boogeymen to blame.
