Do you know what your kids are learning?
Teachers are liberals, mostly, and that's fine. One Social Studies teacher of mine used to tell his classes, "I'm a non-Marxist economic determinist; and I'm the only non-socialist in the Social Studies department." Many of us despised him, for other reasons, but most of his colleagues despise him, too, precisely because he would constantly remind us to be on guard for political rants. But that's so 1990's. Today there's nothing like some prostelitizing tripe to go along with geography lesson. Here is the audio of teacher Jay Bennish in front of his 10th-grade class, but hitting the MoveOn anti-everything talking points instead of teaching much to do with "World Geography." Let's see whether the NEA has anything to say.
