I'm sure you mean well, but I would not want my child's teacher to explain why President Bush's war on terror is succeeding, nor explain why Liberal Democrats are bad for the country.

I'd like teachers to teach reading, writing, arithmetic, the water cycle, music, art, etc.

You are right, of course. However the Presidential election is always discussed in Class rooms, as long as the facts are facts on the candidates.

Aren’t those items ‘history’ (in the sense of current events)? I want teachers teaching those things, as long as they keep political bias out and stick to the facts.

I would want my children to receive facts. What if the person is teaching current events? There is reading involved but why learn how to read if you aren’t going to put the ability to use learning things. As I said, I would like the facts to be taught rather than some of the stuff that is being taught.

Civics, current events?
