Instead of teaching their students how to think, educators want to indoctrinate their students and tell them what to think. It turns out that laws against leftist indoctrination in schools are working. When parents and politicians hold teachers accountable, those teachers become more thoughtful with what they do in the classroom. At least, this is the case for most teachers. Some teachers will complain they just can’t teach under such conditions. According to a recent essay by Hannah Natanson in The Washington Post, conservatives are keeping teachers from teaching their students “basic truths.” Of course, there’s much more to the...

A recent Associated Press story praised NBA coach Doc Rivers for using training camps and practices to indoctrinate players in left-wing social justice theory and to push his support for handpicked liberal Democrat politicians. In its Oct. 3 article, the AP happily notes that “Doc Rivers is at ease using his platform as an NBA coach” to push his hard-left views on players at work and to use his coaching time to attack Donald Trump and his voters.

During the Christmas of 1914, some French, British, and German soldiers along World War I’s Western Front informally ceased hostilities in order to celebrate the holiday. The truce offered the combatants a brief moment to celebrate their shared humanity amidst the otherwise ghastly conflict. No such luck for Americans weary of the United States’ all-consuming culture war. For anti-gun zealots, the Christmas season offers fresh opportunities to mold the next generation of obedient statists. On December 13, the Village of Hempstead, N.Y. hosted the Long Island Toy Gun Exchange Program, modelled after so-called gun “buybacks” that target real firearms. According...

CNN is currently in 47 airports throughout the United States (in gate and boarding areas). This means that many travelers–from Atlanta to New York—are bombarded with a left-wing narrative. Looking to get away? Too bad. You’ll be forced to watch the media’s propaganda in the boarding area. Thanks to CNN, the US airport is now an indoctrination facility that’s designed to keep travelers in a state of despair. Control Center CNN The CNN Airport Operations Center in Atlanta–the epicenter of airport propaganda. I’ve traveled to over 75 countries. In all those airports, I’ve never seen the news on a television....

At a facility in Judea of UNRWA, the UN body tasked with caring for "Palestinian refugees," a festive ceremony was held on Monday honoring Abd al-Hamid Abu Srour, the 19-year-old Hamas terrorist who exactly a week ago bombed a bus in southeastern Jerusalem. Journalist David Bedein, director of the Jerusalem-based Israel Resource News Agency as well as the Center for Near East Policy Research, told Arutz Sheva about the UN event to honor the terrorist who conducted the first bus bombing of the current terror wave, in which he died while wounding 15 victims. The investigative journalist revealed that Israeli...

Continuing their commitment to controlling global population growth through artificial contraception, sterilization, and abortion initiatives, Microsoft founder and philanthropist, Bill Gates and his wife, Melinda, a self-described “practicing” Catholic, are now attempting to control the curriculum of the nation’s public schools. Subsidizing the Common Core State Standards in English language arts and mathematics, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has committed more than $76 million to support teachers in implementing the Common Core—a standardized national curriculum.   This, on top of the tens of millions they have already awarded to the National Governor’s Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers...

A federal court decision approving mandatory public school instruction for children as young as kindergarten in how to be homosexual is being allowed to stand, drawing a description of "despicable" from the parent who unsuccessfully challenged his school district's "gay" advocacy agenda. The U.S. Supreme Court without comment has refused to intervene in a case prompted by the actions of officials at Estabrook Elementary school in Lexington, Mass., who not only were teaching homosexuality to young children, but specifically refused to allow Christian parents to opt their children out of the indoctrination. The case on which WND has reported previously...

Some parents who are concerned about their children receiving a steady diet of liberal-left indoctrination in schools and colleges regard the summer vacation as a time to show these young people a different way of looking at things, with readings presenting viewpoints that are unlikely to be heard in classrooms that have become indoctrination centers. Fortunately, there is a growing body of literature— both books and articles— presenting a very different viewpoint in readable language. The academic year often ends with commencement speakers who have been in government, academia, foundations or various crusading movements, who tell the graduates how much...

The war in Iraq was a regular hot topic in English class when I was in school. But why -- when it had no relevance to writing analyses’, breaking down prose, or fine-tuning style? When I heard about an unapologetic independent film production that uncovered illegitimate classroom agendas at public universities, I knew my school (Indiana University) was part of a larger problem. “I’ve been learning in geography class that gender is socially constructed,” said a student from the University of Tennessee in the revealing documentary. “Indoctrinate U” exposes the liberally biased agenda of professors and administrators whose practices are...

New study confirms past research; youth often copy what they see on screen. A study published in the March edition of the Journal of Adolescent Health found that kids who regularly view sexualized media are more likely to engage in sexual activity than those who are not exposed.  In addition, such exposure can have just as much influence in a teen's life as parental relationships and religious beliefs. If family relationships are weak, media becomes a "sexual super peer." Daniel Weiss, senior analyst for media and sexuality at Focus on the Family Action, said such studies confirm what common...

The disgusting DemocRAT teachers in California know no boundaries. A caller just told Larry about what happened at his wife's high school. A teacher in PoliSci actually bribed the kids with extra credit points if they called 50 people and told them to vote against Prop. 74-75-76. This is absolutely outrageous. Earlier, Larry told the story of a high school music teacher who forced his class to sing an anti-Bush song. Also, I think district school buses were used today to bus kids to a demonstration. I'm not sure which one, but either the music or PoliSci teacher used a...

Senate to Vote on Religious Liberty Protection Act S.2081 Why do we not educate our children in all the philosophies instead of indoctrinating then to one? We should have the right of conscience; to say what we choose to say, or write what we choose to write, or read what we choose to read , or pray what we choose to pray, any place we choose to do it, even in government run schools. What has happened to freedom and liberty in our classrooms and Country? The socialist left has diminished liberty by banning and trying to ban what some...

This is the third entry of my Left Wing College experience. This class session focused less on politics and more on the judical system, and knowing the difference between civil and common law. However there were many political comments thrown in, and I will mention those. He opened up by saying this was going to be a discussion on ideas. Then he said "that thank god Clinton only lied about something as small as sex, rather than selling arms to Iran and lying about it" I piped up by saying "or selling nuclear secrets to China" He then went on...
