When I was finishing my undergraduate degree (History) I was discussing going on to grad school with one of my professors. He pulled me aside and asked me what I expected to do after grad school. I said that I might go into teaching. He shook his head. "You'll be wasting time and money, if that's why you go to grad school. No one will hire someone with your views. Word will get around. There's just no future in teaching for someone like you."

The guy was a Marxist, but he was honest and well-meaning. I changed my career aspirations on the spot.

At least your professor was honest. That is rare in a liberal/marxist/socialist. Ends justifies the means. You'd almost have to get in stealth.

In the local schools, you have to teach whatever curriculum they give you. I suppose a good teacher could teach the curriculum and bring in literature that added to it. But, then again maybe not. I'd cringe if I had to teach kids things I knew were lies or half truths. I'd probably be fired before I ever really got started. So many of the school books today have so much omitted. If it doesn't fit the liberal view or isn't PC it's gone. Our the truth is twisted to fit their world view. Many on the left seem delusional to me, when it comes to our history.
