We are all ignorant and quite crazy and exist best when we work together to solve problems.

1) Don't you understand there is no conspiracy in the public schools and no one is a communist.

If there were any communists I would know, as I run with the far left crowd. We all know that is a silly utopian idea from a different time. It is a silly very outdated idea.

And social welfare economies are necessary for civilization.

As soon as liberty is complete it dies in anarchy.

2) Secondly, all of the schools in the country are run at the local level by local school boards. So the teachers are picked in a random manner across the county by the local people in a democratic manner i.e. they elect the school boards at the local level.

Then the school boards pick a supervisor they oversee. Then each school hires a principle who hires the teachers. How could there be a liberal conspiracy. The people pick the teachers by voting. And each teacher teaches stuff the way they see it.

I taught for years and did a lot of substitute teaching. Teachers ranged the entire political spectrum from very conservative to very liberal.

And it is good teachers across the nation represent all political points of view, more or less randomly as it prevents dogma. And the teachers are fine. There are just not enough affordable schools

Dogma is the big danger, not inadequate teachers.

When anyone is sure they know the truth-----

Inquiry is fatal to certainty.
