Fair enough. I do, however, note that you do not refute the way I defined the two terms. But, that's possibly because you realize that would not further the discussion.AnnoyedLiberall » 18 May 2022, 8:40 am » wrote: ↑ Thank you.
While I disagree with your definition of liberals, I respect your honesty.
I agree to some extent. I think certain activities, like high school dances, proms, homecoming, may still have a place. Also, I think it would be impossible to scrub gender out of books. Also, dress codes tend to fall along gender lines. Making everything completely gender neutral would be a big mistake, but I do not believe that is what you are suggesting. I'm just pointing out that on some level this needs to be addressed rationally.I think we need to take all talk of gender and sexuality out of schools.
I completely agree. Personal politics have no place in schools at all.I think all teachers need to be held accountable for trying to mold children's minds either right or left.
That's a parents job.
Real History, now there's a baited phrase if there ever was one. In England, some schools still require that their students memorize the English Monarchs. So, what do you define as "Real History"? Also, how many semesters do you want dedicated to teaching history? Some folks pursue post-graduate degrees in history focusing on just American Slavery, or the Algonquin Indians, military tactics of Jefferson Davis, or the reign of King Henry VIII. Limited time.....limited young minds.....trying to keep things neutral, yet cover 1600's to 2022. That's a tall order, Chief.I also think we should teach real history.
