Teaching Government in Schools

Name: CCFreak2K !mgsA1X/tJA 2005-09-23 2:35

Since it's my senior year of high school, the state of California (pause for laughter) has made it manditory for me to attend a Government/Economics class.  While this wouldn't be a problem (I love to hear people bitch about the world and the people who run it, as long as they have a valid arguement), the teacher I have is EXTREMELY left.  While this also wouldn't pose a problem normally, he's always injecting his left views into any debates that occur.

The bottom line?  The only teachers that should be teaching Government should be ones that can be on both sides of the fence equally (at least most of the time).

Discuss.

Just because you have a right and a left doesn't mean one of them isn't wrong.
Demanding that people should be able to stay on both sides of a fence is a poor idea when one side is a deadly mine field.
Sometimes it's good to take sides. Take the evolution vs. intelligent design issue you've got going over there in the US. A lot of people portray it as two equally valid ways to look at how we got here (in the cosmic sense) and simply ignore that evolution is Good Science and intelligent design is Stupid Religion.
