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.

Interesting theory, except the Harvard Law publication just put out that study in August showing that 71% of their respondents, of ~4,000 lawyers interviewed by phone throughout the US, identified as Democrats. It was really big news here in my ivory tower; you didn't hear about it?

Truth be told, there is a direct correlation between education and liberalism. The more years you spend in college, the more likely you'll vote Democrat... and lawyers and doctors spend a long time in college.
