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.

My theory, this is going to sound bad to you, but I believe that the reason why more left-wingers are teachers is because it's an easier job.  Most left-wingers might have become that way because there were times when they couldn't cope and relied on another larger force to intervene on their behalf, so they would of course see the need for big government (as is standard among leftist in the USA).

LAwyers ETC... do a very hard job, and one that pays proportionally.  So they profit more from a dog-eat-dog type scenario, where those who can't cope should just go to the back of the bus.  They've never had to rely on anyone else, and so they feel contempt for those who need it.

There's also the nurturing aspect of teaching which probably appeals to leftists.
