I've got 2 kids in school and it's not happening in any public school I've been in.

try saying anything that sounds slightly non-PC and watch their reaction

Do you want more?

Your links don't prove what you think they do. Some such as the spectator one is a political rant by a guy with a strong right wing bias.

The sesame street one is pretty legit, admitting that for the past 60 years sesame street has had a liberal agenda. But you forget that sometimes liberal is referrig primarily to reality. You know teachng kids to see people that are different in a friendly way, that type of thing, appreciating diversity. Let's face it, even a lot of conservatives are proud of this country's diversity. Who's going to deny that having television which is sometimes like a third parent for kids, teach kids tolerance is a good thing ? I don't think you're going to find anything on sesame street resembling the bazarro world of that one New York private school with the preferential treatment of black kids. That's bizarre, and it's also a very rare exception that's being written about and it has probably changed by now.

WE are in a world with a lot of right wing media that is going to scream from the hilltops every time there is a single example such as the ones you've listed. Have kids been taught by SOME liberal teachers to feel guilty about what their white ancestors have done ? Sure. But usually not just becasue they were white. Were we assholes to treat native Americans the way we did ? OF course, but it's what more advanced land and resource seeking groups do. Is this kind of behavior acquisitive and violent ultimately, sure. What kind of person can't handle a little reflection on our dark history ? Same goes for slavery. Nobody is teaching that we have to feel personally guilty, but we can be aware of the reality. Why do so many conservatives have such a problem looking at it ?

One of the pieces said something to the effect of kids being taught the things we have done to other races without looking at the other side for balance, as if there are many examples of other races oppressing and fucking over white folks. I was thinking Wtf ?

I like this one, from the spectator right winger:

My daughter studies French and has had to write essays on how marvellous recycling is.

OH NOOOOOO. Those freakinsh liberals think that just becasue we'll soon have 10 billion humans on earth we have to live a little more sustainably. Fucking LIBERAL elitist assholes ! And learning another language ? French no less ?

Sorry dude, sometimes reality has a liberal bias. It's called adapting to change.

I think some of the Trump protesters are paid too. By the right. It keeps the right wingers from giving up on Trump.

Despite the fact that WE KNOW team hillary paid trolls, you choose to project this onto the right w zero evidence. Dude, you havent addressed a single issue, you simply deflect

I thought it was understood that what I said was speculative about paid protesters. IT's becasue it looked that way during the campaign. And we know some of the Tea Party protesters in 2009 were paid, but didn't learn it til later. I'm not saying all. Just a few thugs can change the whole thing. Just speculating becasue it helps your idiotic narrative about (haha) the Nazi left. And you need that narrative to keep on supporting the crazy guy in the white house. But also becasue of an interview I heard with someone from Berkley explaining that the arrested protesters were largely from outside the university. It's interesting.

You haven't supported any point of yours with evidence. The evidence you have provided makes the opposite case. That when teachers are overly liberal, there's a RW huge media market that will get very excited about it. Becasue they need to demonize public ed becasue unions support democrats. Otherwise you provide some outliers, and a whacko right wing rants that are embarrassingly biased.

That's your evidence that all public schools are brainwashing children ?

Again, you have to get out more. Talk to people that have kids in public schools.

This sounds possible, but where is your evidence? I'd like to see it. I am sure the R's are capable of whatever lies the D's are capable of.

marcus says

Your links don't prove what you think they do.

You arent going to find a single article that encompasses the entire propaganda machine used to brain wash people. These are all tiny snippets. Yes, you have to actually pay attention, and take thousands of data points into consideration.

Or you can just reject each snippet based on your own confirmation bias.

Again, you wont care about the oppression, violence, censorship, and tyranny until it effects someone you care about. This is a sad human truth.

CBOEtrader says

That's a good one. I'm far more objective about Trump than you are. As I am about this nonsense about public ed brainwashing our kids.

It's true that you can find anecdotes about crazy liberal teachers. Believe it or not, I know some hard core conservative history teachers (friends no less). They try not to let their political beliefs enter in to their instruction in the same way that 95% of liberal elementary school teachers don't bring their politics into their teaching. Why would they ? Reality already has a liberal bias.But they understand (unlike you) that some things are a reflection of their bias, and they keep it to themselves. Again, that's 95% of elementary school teachers. I'm not talking about the ones that may lecture a little about recycling or feminism (fist wave mostly). Or the history of civil rights. These things aren't Nazi.

If you teach kids the leftist stuff you say here, you are not just brainwashing them, you are ruining their lives.
