Poll: 73 Percent of Republican Students Have Hidden Their Politics over Fears about Grades

There you go with the self-righteous demonizing and otherizing of those that don't share your viewpoint. You fool no one.

During the CNN climate town hall on Wednesday, 2020 presidential candidate and former HUD Secretary Julián Castro called for "structural change" to make sure that schools don't get hijacked into teaching anything besides the liberal agenda, especially on climate issues.

When asked, "Should climate change be taught in schools?" Castro replied, "Yes, I believe that it should."

The 2020 Democrat went much further, however. "This doesn’t just apply to curriculum about the environment," he said. "We need to do things like end this system of people that get elected … and then they sit on a statewide board that determines what is in curriculum."

What's the problem with having elected leaders determine a curriculum? Those pesky Republicans can prevent schools from using propaganda to pop out good little Democrats.

"And too oftentimes, right-wing conservatives have taken over these boards in places like Texas, and they affect who gets into the history books, its slanted view on social studies, it’s probably against including any kind of meaningful curriculum on the environment, so there are some structural changes that I believe that we need to make," Castro said.

I demand that you immediately apologize for and retract your slander and wear the MAGA hat for two weeks.

 

This is happening to me, currently. My college is dominated by leftist professors. So I toe the line, and write what they want to hear. I just can't let my grades suffer, and I simply don't trust that they will be impartial.

 

Castro speaks the TRUTH.

What was your problem with Castro?

 

Yep, he’s saying curriculum shouldn’t be decided by non-educators with ideological axes to grind. Scandal!

 

That is a Great Plan.

"When in Rome do as The Romans Do", Etc...

 

Well, first you claimed I misrepresented his position, now at least you admit the truth and defend his extremism. That's progress!

The powerful bias comes from the left, not the right. Many college students cannot name another country, besides the US, that had slavery. Liberals have pushed bills to teach LGBT history rather than the historical growth of America's values, the virtues — as well as the vices — of the founding and the Constitution. If Castro can keep those pesky right-wingers away from every curriculum, will students learn about the unique prosperity unleashed by the free market? What about the oppression and poverty of socialism?

 

Here is what you wrote:

Castro Wants ‘Structural Change’ to Keep Conservative Ideas Out of Schools.

Schools are for education, not Left Wing indoctrination. Soon schools will have Federal protection from this Left Wing abuse

Castro did not advocate for indoctrination, or keeping “conservative ideas” out of schools. As I said, he opposes non-educators with ideological axes to grind deciding the curriculum. He used Texas as an example, both because he’s from Texas and the Texas board is infamous for this sort of thing.

So no, I’m not agreeing with you nor defending indoctrination. I’m rebutting your discreditable attempt to twist what Castro said.

 

Again AJ, by your own admission - many MANY times over - this forum is 80% RW folk.

"When in Rome, do as the Romans do."

Can't wait to see you follow your own advice there.

 

Typical Left-Winger, wants parents excluded from decisions about curriculum. Don't confuse credentials for intelligence.

Our "educators" are producing US students with test scores that are only 31 of 70 countries.

Not Impressive.

 

Two wrongs don't make a right.

This fear doesn't happen in a vacuum. It's happened and probably is still happening.

 

Examples?

 

There is a liberal fascist McCarthyism permeating the country. Look at the Hollywood elite calling for blacklisting conservative actors and actresses.

 

It's only a game. So game them.

there is no evidence liberal professors give bad grades to righties:

The premise of this thread is, like just about every thread made by forum righties, a complete fabrication.

 

Self-righteous and yes, absolutely

 

Lol...I’d sue them *********kers. It’s the American way.

 

You can't sue someone that doesn't have any money.

 

We knew the Left was going to hate living according to their own rules. Today it's 3/4ths of Republican Students who feel the need to conceal their grades so these crazed Left Wing professors don't punish them for their thoughts? Everyone that helps keep these professors in the classroom are guilty of abusing their authority and should be held to account.

THE CANCEL CULTURE TORPEDOES CIRCLE BACK AROUND: U. Alabama dean resigns after racist tweets tying American flag, police to racism resurface.

“The tweets express disdain for the American flag, American law enforcement officers, and the opinions of ‘white people’ regarding racism in society.”​

Those on the Left who are livid he lost his job should take a look in the mirror about the world they’ve built, and in which both sides will now play by their ugly rules.

 

The irony in all of this is that the Progressive Elites are just as contemptuous of their own mindless minions as they are of the, "Deplorables."

 

Not to worry - it is only another fabricated story just like the notion that Muslims screamed "F Jesus" and the fairy tale about Muslim teens attacking civilians in Minneapolis. Yes, it is fashionable and politically correct to believe in such mysticism and but it is all make believe.

 

At 15, many countries would have already pushed you out of the door if you didn't measure up. (AKA China would be the poster child)

And this accounts for a large sample versus a rather small one in many of these countries. (AKA Vietnam where most of the population doesn't even have access to education as a 15 year old))

If you really believe that China is in the top 10, your are a fool's fool.

 

Is your point that the professional "educators" in the US are doing a top notch 1st World job educating our children?

 

My son experienced similar things, I gave him the same counsel and he saw the same results. One professor even bragged about how he "fixed" the students with view he disagreed with by destroying their GPA, and he was the department head.

You can see from the postings of the Lefties, that they are fine with abusing Republican Children in the Academy.
