Political ideologies do not belong in the classroom, for one. I don’t want my children being told how they should view the world. I would like them to draw their own conclusions based on their own experiences
As a teacher I’ll say that political ideologies very much do belong in the classroom. How else can you expect a child to learn how to be a part of society and to care for people beyond their own self-interest?
Teaching “political ideology” isn’t telling a class of kids, “you should all be socialists,” it’s giving them a foundation upon which they can build their individual morality.
What is school if not a place to learn from the successes and failures of peoples past?
what is too far? what places? i hear this point alot, but do you have examples? real schools that are really going “too far” in some specific sense? where are they? what are they teaching?
Political ideology is pretty vague: anything can be political if people disagree about it. Fuck, many of the biggest political debates lately have boiled down to “is science real?”

I don’t disagree, but I think some places have taken it too far
I am curious about these schools that have taken it to far? I would just like examples

Mhm. Political ideologies. Which ones? (I ask in a very “states’ rights to do what?” tone)
Any of them, man. Why so aggressive?
Because I suspect that the “ideology” you’re actually worried about amounts to “gay people exist”
I suspect you’re a cunt
