Why should the parents have any more say in this than they do in any
other issue shoved down the kids throats on a daily basis at school?

--------------------------------------

Like what for example?

For the past 7 or 8 years we have had to review, our childrens, daily
lessons in school to
find out what they are being taught in public school. We live in the
People's Repiblic of
Montgomery County in the Democratic Republic of Maryland. We have
found that the teachers put
their own political views and biases into their interactions with
their students on a daily
basis. When my oldest went off to college I told here that her primary
goal is to get a
degree and that arguing with the professors about their professors
political positions and
biases is a losing proposition. She soon learnd which professors are
the leftists who are
just interested in creating more party line spouting leftists.

-----------------------------------------------

That may be true or it may simply be your opinion but I doubt the
teacher's "political comments" show up anywhere on the school's
official curriculum. That's not what I am talking about. If I had
youngsters in public schools today and l found out a teacher was
pushing his or her political agenda instead of covering the approved
course material there would be hell to pay. It's up to you to stop
that nonsense.

The Montgomery County Maryland school system has been on the decline for the past 20 years.
It used to be that the Fairfax County Virginia and Montgomery County Maryland were the two
richest counties in the country. The most recent rankings I saw had Fairfax county still in
the top 3 and Montgomery dropping to the mid teens, 15 I believe.

Why is Montgomery County Maryland declining? It has to be the liberal bias and feel good
nature of what they teach.

My eldest daughter went to Poolesvill High School. It is a magnent school and it has 74% of
the sutdents on the honor roll. Read the letter below from teachers at that school.

College is a little different. I think we all were subjected to both
left and right views. I think by the time you are in college you
should be able to think for yourself and accept or reject influences
by the professors. Makes you think.

Luckily my daughter is able to spot the biases and political leanings in her professors and
she is able to learn around them. My daughter made the dean's list in each of her first two
semesters. She is working the system.
