The US liberal establishment promoting left wing ideology yet again

[Person Man]

It's widespread in Australian education.

My son nearly got suspended from school when he told the English teacher he was glad Trump was building a wall to keep the Mexicans out.

It's absurd that a lot of people are selling Trump as morally illegal.

Well your son is racist from what it looks like, and really, this thread has to keep being made.  We know you're deplorable, so why keep reminding us of it.

No. You're deplorable for calling a racist deplorable. Can't you see that the traditional population of the Anglosphere is being systemically oppressed cuckholded by taxes, (((socialist professors and publishing professionals))), abortion, and brown people? HEAR THEIR PLIGHT!!!!!

There's so much insane stuff going on here I'm not even sure where to begin.

1. This article was published by Breitbart, which should be sufficient to discredit it

2. It was written by the ex-Congressman Tom Tancredo, a right-wing fanatic

3. There was hardly any detail or actual analysis of this supposed left-wing indoctrination in the article, merely Tancredo ranting about how awful and powerful the left wing social justice advocates have supposedly become

4. The article cites the NAS, which is a conservative Republican organization formed in opposition to the mainstream of higher education and multiculturalism, whose founder became right-wing due to African American riots

5. It's funny that you believe, simply because those in higher education disagree with your perspective, that they must be the uninformed ones. These are professionals, highly educated in their fields, and significantly more knowledgeable than you, me, or Tancredo on these topics; the fact that all these highly educated people strongly disagree with your perspective may not indicate some conspiracy, but that you're misinformed and wrong

6. What's wrong with teaching students the truth about America's government and our nation's history? Yes, our founders were extremely hypocritical when they wrote "all men are created equal" while they had African Americans bound in slavery, countless European immigrants weren't viewed as White because they weren't British, and anyone who wasn't a British, land owning male was disenfranchised. Our government has repeatedly engaged in discrimination (slavery, forced removals of Native Americans, Jim Crow and segregation, internment of Japanese, immigration restrictions passed on the grounds of Northern European supremacy lasting until 1965, anti-miscegenation laws, criminalization of homosexuality until only a little over a decade ago, systemic police violence and harassment of African Americans, underfunding of lower class schools, talk of targeting a specific religious minority for exclusion and targeted surveillance even in 2016, forced sterilization of the poor and mentally ill lasting until the 1970s, disproportionate representation of privileged groups in positions of wealth and power with disproportionate representation of the underprivileged in prison and poverty, and so on). Are those things not real? Did they not happen? Were they not perpetrated by a government which claimed to support "all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with equal rights"? Or am I just making all that up?

7. To be a good citizen is to challenge our government and society's norms which defy that proclamation of human equality when it falls short of the mark. It's to not blindly accept and worship our often hypocritical and faulty leaders who habitually excuses and justified their violations of those truths in the Declaration of Independence. To be civically engaged and a good American is to help our country live up to those ideals, not close our eyes and ears to pretend like nothing bad ever happened or is happening. It's also to accept that some of us have privilege due to our race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexuality, gender identity, country of origin, and socioeconomic class. Only by acknowledging this privilege can we understand the plight of others not as fortunate as those of us with privilege, both historically and presently, and begin to right those wrongs.

Great speech but just because you aren't disadvantaged doesn't mean you are privileged. Privileged are those who are in the top 2%, making $250k+ plus a year or went to the finest private schools. You can't tell 41 year old Joe Schmoe Associates Degree making $42,200 a year in Dayton, Ohio that he is "privileged".

I'll just go through your points one by one

1. You don't like news articles appearing in right wing news sites like Breitbart.com. You presumably prefer left wing sources like CNN, WaPo or NYT. I know that's your preference but that's not really an argument against the substance of the report.

If the source itself is untrustworthy, then the article presented by said source is also likely untrustworthy. Breitbart is a news site that publishes undeniably bigoted, prejudiced, and conspiratorial articles. Why should I, or any sane person, trust what comes from them?

Events and reporting of them over the last few weeks and months have shown that Breitbart is significantly more trustworthy and reliable than many 'respectable' left wing new outlets like the Washington Post

Yeah, you really need to get out more.  That propaganda will rot your brain.  You still might have some time to correct it.

Seriously? After all the fake news they've been producing lately you're seriously going to suggest that the Washington Post isn't less reliable and trustworthy than Breitbart

Lol

Baghdad Bob would be proud.

Sounds like you're teaching him and yourself to be special snowflakes.

I don't think that Meclazine is failing about the school failing to protect his son from criticism of right wing views. The demands of 'special snowflakes' are always that institutions should take active measures to oppose opinions that offend their left wing views.

What is being talked about here is schools and universities taking active measures to oppose and even seek to punish right wing views and to promote left wing views. Now you might think thats a good thing or a bad thing but what is undeniable is that schools and universities throughout the western Europe, the US and Australia have institutional policies to oppose right wing ideology and to promote leftism. These policies clearly would not be allowed unless they were actively supported by the leftist political classes in those places.

So that's why the commie semitic filth, Fox News was always on in my High School cafeteria?

if there is an ideology dominant in the western hemisphere atm it's pro-russian/pro-autocratic sentiment against all small-l liberal institutions and values.
