Teaching the teachers to be politically correct

How do we get politically correct students and schools? We get them by churning out politically correct teachers from teacher colleges and teacher credentialing programs which filter the teaching of education through the lens of political correctness.

In a press release in October of this year, U.S. Secretary of Education's Arne Duncan stated, “By almost any standard, many if not most of the nation’s 1,450 schools, colleges, and departments of education are doing a mediocre job of preparing teachers for the realities of the 21st century classroom. America’s university-based teacher preparation programs need revolutionary change--not evolutionary tinkering.” The press release goes on to assert that "Teacher-preparation programs should ensure that new teachers will master the content of the subjects they’ll teach..."

Mastery of the content of the subjects teachers will be teaching can only happen when that goal is paramount and the driving force behind the curricula at teacher colleges. However, when political correctness is held in higher esteem and given more instruction time in teacher colleges in places like Minnesota and California, mastery of the content of the subjects teachers will only be of secondary importance.

Thanks for that. I guess it is too difficult to try to re-educate the un-pc prospective teachers, much easier to just prevent them from joining the profession all together.

And...Our government schools were started and promoted by 19th century Utopians. Our government schools have ALWAYS been socialist! The goal of government schools has ALWAYS been to turn Americans into compliant workers for the fascist state.

Children learn learn ( just by attending government schools) that it is OK for the government to take money from their neighbor to pay for something that their parents want for FREE! It is short step from “free” government schooling to thinking free retirement, medicine, health care, housing, food, clothing, college tuition, the IRS, Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal, Johnson's Great Society, and thousands of other “free” programs are OK too!

It’s one thing to bring this to everyone’s attention, but how do we CHANGE the system?
