Lately, in my locality, there has been a real uproar about the local Teacher's Union , its possible corruption, its very powerful impact in the upcoming Board of Education election and how the public should react. It is odd that education is not the big issue for the Democrats as it usually is. Republicans rarely talk about it but they should. For instance, they could bring up the fact that the NEA, CTA here in Ca., and our local union, TALB are just flacks for the DNC as far as a political party and liberalism as far as curriculum. The teachers' union gives a huge amount of money to Dems. They influence the state Boards to make the curriculum look like a liberal universtities' offerings. They force students to accept the Global Warming nonsence. They force pupils to accept that homosexuality is a normal lifestyle. They force students to tolerate the intolerable such as dressing like Muslims and taking their historical stances as truth. The force teachers to teach feminism, minority history without blemishes, as well as liberal views on historical trends rather than any conservative viewpoints. Ronald Reagan may get a page in history books, but FDR gets a whole chapter with JFK as the best President in history. What bias! The teachers are the largest lobbying group in the USA, but the Media rarely mentions that. Talk about earmarks for that education industry!!! Pubs should be able to also convince teachers that the socialism and pacifism that is often taught is a deathblow to our free enterprise and republican democratic system. That many new teachers are avowed liberals and socialists and no one seems to ever question them is a sad day. Yet conservatives, if any exist in the state and local areas are often made fun of and ignored as intellectual partners in the table of open minded educational debate. It is galling. And it is brainwashing at its worst. If the schools were run by Pubs and the Right, and they brainwashed, we would expect an uproar. But when liberals now run the educational system, the media and educational experts as well as the public hardly raise a comment. Something has to be done or our pupils will grow up to be little socialists without realizing that they themselves are undermining our historically good educational system where internally our nation will collapse into a Third World status.
