My kid sat through a far left wing video in her honors English class, which presented an explanation of our economic situation and what should be done about it. I asked if the teacher was presenting it as a debate topic or for an essay assignment or something. No, the students were expecting a quiz over "Tale of Two Cities." The video went to the end of the period. The kid came home very excited and it took me about 20 minutes to expose some of the myths and exaggerations (which didn't seem to matter). Then I presented valid alternative views (having to do with where productive wealth comes from, and how that process is sabotaged by some of the ideas her teacher was promoting), which did make a difference. There is nothing in the curriculum that supports that kind of thing (Promoting political economic agenda in English class) and my kid says this teacher loves to go off track to talk about her political views. I think that is wrong and would have felt the same way if it had been a right wing extremist video. I am confident, however, that the teacher would have been called on the carpet if it had been an extreme right wing video.
