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.

Here's a question... why is it that most everyone in academia is inclined to political liberalism? Is it a vast left-wing conspiracy... or is it that most conservatives aren't clever enough for the rigors of open, rational intellectual discourse and can't comprehend polysylabic words easily? Hmm...

Maybe that's too harsh. But it is exceedingly rare that I meet a conservative as well-educated and well-read as the average liberal. Maybe that's why most of the world's greatest newspapers have a liberal bent... because conservatives, so often inclined to visceral thinking, don't like to read?
