Hi, new here. I have 4 school age children. I am required to send them to school by law. My oldest is 17 and I have seen schools go from teaching facts and avoiding discussions about their personal views on sex (and sexual orientation) and politics to spouting their opinions like they are facts. My husband is active duty military and we have been in no less than 6 different school districts in different states; our current school district in CA has been the worst about it. I'm not sure if that is because of the location or if it is like this now in other districts that we haven't had more recent experiences with.
If I am equired to send my child to school to be educated (which I have no problem with doing that) I think that public schools should stick to teaching facts and leave there opinions out of the classroom...at the very least, they should make it very clear that what they are stating is their opinion and not facts.
Good luck.
Part of the problem is the teachers themselves aren't well taught, and don't understand the difference between fact, fiction, and opinion.
