I basically agree with you-but you are generalizing. When you write "schools are this or are doing that"-you make it sound like all schools. In actuality it is some teachers teach this or that. I do not do any of those things you claim and I KNOW I am not the only teacher around. Yes-you are correct radical ideas are at times propagated in schools-it has been that way for hundreds of years-more often in universities.....but it depends on the school district and area as well. A school in Berkley will be more radical than one in middle America. The teachers Unions and the media have a huge role to play in this. Individual teachers are more fed up with these groups as you might imagine.
Students have always believed a lot of what they are told...we need to make education an attractive career to conservative minded people than the culture will change. In fact once the 60's libs fully retire and they are in the process of that know I believe we will edge more towards the right. I don't foresee a sea change but any movement will be a blessing!

Yes I generalize and I realize "all generalizations are false, including this one". But I taught and had a child go through school in a blue state (blue area) so I am more sensitive to the problem. If things are better in other states that is all to the good. Libs are running colleges to a great degree as well, and I believe the teachers unions spread this drival everywhere they have any influence at all.
Recently the text book commission of Texas rejected several social studies texts because in the discussion of family and marriage the books used gender neutral terms that would be useful if say a teacher wanted to make the point that a two male parent family was a normal environment for the rearing of children. This was the first move in the right direction that I know of.
