re: #143 recusancy

Do you think teaching civil rights is leftist indoctrination?


No. It is a matter of degrees.

Teaching all men are created equal and that justice means blacks, whites, gays, muslims, and greed eyed lithuanian fishermen have the same basic human and constitutional rights is not an unreasonable level indoctrination.

A textbook and curricula segment soley devoted to celebrating heterosexual or homosexual marriage would cross the line IMO.

A textbook and curricula segment devoted to racial superiority of any time crosses the line (and they do exist in all colors)

I’m not just talking about passing references here I’m talking about dedicated curricula just like they are trying to get in Texas with the creationism issue. AFAIC as long as there is acceptance of “your mileage (personal beliefss) may differ but were sticking to the basics in class” then that should suffice.
