From time to time, accusations of indoctrination are leveled at the government-run education system, and we’re reminded to review the textbooks, lesson plans, student essays, or artwork to get a clearer picture of what kids are learning. Last month, anti-Trump ceiling tiles painted by students at Wood River High School fired up debate on social media about whether schools are indoctrinating kids.
The tile paintings include a replication of Barack Obama’s red, white, and blue “Hope” campaign poster along with a similarly-styled representation of President Donald Trump with the word “nope” underneath. Another painting depicts doctorate degree-earning “dreamers” leaving the United States juxtaposed with Trump supporters as uneducated hillbilly buffoons in their red MAGA hats who are staying.
Blaine County School District officials told reporters last week that kids have been painting ceiling tiles at Wood River High School for years, as part of an advanced placement extra credit program. And, district officials say, the paintings are bipartisan because there’s one of Abraham Lincoln, the first Republican president, and another that is pro-Trump, depicting the president’s efforts to free businesses from government regulation.
Glenneda Zuiderveld of Jerome posted pictures of the Wood River High School artwork on Facebook. There, she questioned the propriety of the tile-painting tradition. Zuiderveld, who ran for the state Legislature a couple of years ago, has since been inundated with hateful messages for merely questioning the tradition.
But kudos to her for bringing attention to the issue. There’s a huge need for more of that. Over the years, there have been few attempts to really scrutinize what schoolchildren are learning and whether they’re getting a slanted portrayal of government and American civics.
