Should public schools be investigated (for political bias) ?

[protectionist]

My answer is a resounding YES. Public schools all across America have become more than places to learn reading, writing, & arithmetic.
They are (and have been for decades) leftwing indoctrination factories. I went through public schools from 1st grade to a college bachelor's degree, and found them to be exactly that way. A semester of graduate school at a state university wasn't much better.

Interesting how it took me decades to unravel myself from all of this indoctrination, and begin to see things clearly. In 1988, I recall my 2 kids saying that they like Michael Dukakis for president over George Bush. Back then, in the classrooms they got teachers advocating for Dukakis. I even went to the polls & voted for Dukakis, all without any of us ever hearing one word about Willie Horton.

The difference was stark, but many people never got the message.
Bush supported the death penalty for first-degree murder, and Dukakis not only opposed the death penalty, but also allowed first-degree murderers to have weekend passes from prison. Willie Horton murdered a boy in a robbery, stabbing him nineteen times. Despite the life sentence, Horton received ten weekend passes from prison. Horton fled, kidnapping a young couple, stabbing the man and repeatedly raping his girlfriend.

So is the situation in public schools any better now than it was in the 1980s ? I think not. It might even be worse, with all the TDS and crazy woke ideologies floating around.

Maybe the answer is homeschooling. Get the kids away from the indoctrinators and teach them yourselves. Millions of people are going that route nowadays.
And I wonder if these schools ought possibly be defunded.

I consider you a certified IDIOT.
A product of your own *****.

What career did you earn....... shitty painter that still rents at 75?

I went to public school, and NEVER once remember being 'indoctrinated' in the way you were violated hundreds of times.
Grow up.

Below is an example of what we teach in PUBLIC SCHOOL Geometry class.
Would you have any chance to solve this average Geometry Level Question?

I predict you will try with the help of A1, err I mean AI.


GIVEN: 4 Squares with listed areas....find the area of the ? square.

I believe there is ZERO indoctrination in this.
So solve it.

Moron DUPE. Few posters in USMB display a clear sickness of leftist indoctrination than you. YOU went to public school. So that's what did to you, apparently.

So here's a list of all the stuff (everything) that you just got wrong in this idiot post.

• my careers: the one I studied for was shot to hell by the racist, affirmative action discrimination that fools like you support.
• I learned a trade and got consistent work with a good skill
• I opened my own business in 1983 & expanded it to 3 branch offices in 3 counties (very successful)
• I'm 79, not 75
• I don't "still" rent, I rent by choice. Houses are caviar for home invaders, as well as money drains for roof repairs, refrigerators, heat & AC, plumbing, etc etc. Wouldn't take a house if you paid me to take it. Plus I have large swimming pool, exercise room, billiards room + a dozen other amenities that you don't have.
• not much credibility for the claim of "shitty painter" when I'm a 9 Time First Prize Winner in Fine Art America contests (largest online art gallery in the world - 1/2 million artists worldwide)
• one of the characteristics of being indoctrinated is that you don't recognize it's happening, or "remember" it (aka DUPED)

Democrazies are very good at posting words, and saying nothing.

Yes, that's why I asked if you were joking. I read your OP. It's either a joke or you are severely brainwashed.

I suppose you could just be dumber than rocks, that works too.

When you have something of substance to contribute to this thread (ex. proper names, places, dates, facts), we'll all be here.

Great post & video. She's ONE person pulling her kid out of the public indoctrination factory , but all over America there are millions more like her, doing the same thing.

Nope, back in the day we were actually taught the 3 R's, actual history, science and even some life skills. We never had things like Drag Queen story hour, nor were we allowed or encouraged to do anything other than school functions during school hours.

The OP doesn't say that public schools are not teaching basic studies (ex. math), it only says that thy are engaging in leftwing political indoctrination, and have been for decades.

I just thought it especially noteworthy since we are such a blue state.......there are more than a few conservatives as well

I, unlike you, have actually BEEN in the classroom for 40 years.
Never once has there been a Drag Queen Story Hour.

Where are you getting your information?

So answer the BASIC Geometry question in post #10.

I did not have career failures. Perhaps your leftist indoctrination gave you that FALSE idea,

That's YOU saying that.
Someone who is NOT in the actual Public School Classroom, repeating LIES from your RW propaganda.

Just be honest and tell me you have witnessed this "indoctrination" first hand and you aren't just repeating some hearsay.
For decades, you must have 1,000's of first hand knowledge examples.
