Oh but the left obviously the ones pushing their views on children in schools. It seems like any accusation the right makes against the left is in fact true of themselves instead.

But I guess Florida gonna Florida.

Went to highschool in West Chester, Ohio. Was told taught that:

* Rosa Parks wasn't really protesting bus segregation but was simply tired.
* Malcolm X was a terrorist.
* Barack Obama only won in 2008 because he's black (economics teacher really said this).
* slavery was the fault of, in the words of my 9th grade English teacher "big strong" Africans.

Laugh whenever a conservative says teachers are indoctrinating kids with liberal ideals.

Holy cow. I got my education at a wealthy suburban high school in an R+10ish area, and wasn't taught any of those things. Worst thing I ever told was by my 12th grade government teacher was that Bernie Sanders was a communist/socialist. All my social studies teachers were liberal, and my 11th grade US History teacher (who I actually know today for other reasons not related to politics) I suspect was to the left of me.

The little town I lived in held a huge rally for Romney in 2012 right across the street from my school, pretty sure half of the town was there. Boehner also spent considerable time at the golf club there. Pretty sure Trump also gave a rally there during his victory tour. Pretty trash town, not surprised the teachers were trash as well.

Holy f****** s***. You aren't joking are you? I mean, s***, this is where John Boehner is from, and super duper uber conservative, but that's just crazy.

No I wouldn't joke about sh** like that lol. Probably forgetting a few things tbh.

When the anecdotes point the other way and the person giving the anecdote says that they plan on homeschooling any theoretical future kids I hope you guys are this in agreement with them and defend that person against the inevitable attacks on them and home schooling from your fellow travelers.

What is the other way? Tolerance and anti-racism? Why would someone threaten to homeschool their children because their teachers aren't racist?

Not to mention this women told other white supremacists to become teachers and spread their message through covert means.

Make sure you do it right because I was homeschooled for all 12 years and textbooks tend to skew waaaaaay to the right. Bob Jones University (you know, the ones who didn't desegregate until 1970, and who didn't allow interracial dating until like 1995 or something) makes a ton of textbooks that the co-op I went to in high school used. I was taught things like:

- slavery had nothing to do with the civil war (states' rights)
- actually slavery wasn't mentioned much at all except when saying that it wasn't the cause of the civil war
- Malcolm X was a terrorist
- Jimmy Carter hated America
- Ronald Reagan single-handedly saved the United States from stagflation and the commies
- Generally put the founding fathers on a pedestal without acknowledging any of the bad things they did
- FDR was a conniving demagogue who hated America, Japanese people (maybe true), and Jews, only fighting Hitler because he had to
- JFK was unimportant and (implied) he deserved to die?
- LBJ hated America and was super racist (maybe not wrong there) so the Civil Rights Act doesn't count, or something
- Obama hates America and is actively undermining it and the rise in the national debt is his fault and not Dubyas
- Al Gore is a sore loser who hates America by dividing it and not handing the 2000 election to Bush right away; additionally, climate change isn't real so Al Gore is also a crazy lying hypocrite (HE LIVES IN A HOUSE!!!!) The right really, really hates Al Gore and I don't understand why despite living with them for 18 years.

Thank God I've always been independent, curious, and willing to question what I'm taught....

So yeah, just be careful.

Jesus Christ, yeah I'll definitely be vetting any text books that come into my house.

I live in a GOP-leaning neighborhood and I was never taught that in school.

This isn't a GOP-leaning town... it's the furthest right town in Butler CO. A county which Trump won by over 30 points.

But I thought it was bigoted to assume that teachers' (usually really left-wing) political opinions would influence the way they teach?

This woman literally encouraged her fellow white supremacists to become teachers and spread their message covertly. Nice job defending her though

Not defending her in any way, nice deflection. Just exposing left-wing double standards.

Left wing politics and white supremacy are a false equivalence

"Left wing" is an umbrella that includes any number of groups that, in truth, hate America and many ordinary Americans, especially fundamentalist Christians.
