However, where do you think non-public school teachers come from? Non-public schools can be overtly political (in the best sort of way) but rarely are.

I agree with your point entirely, but what I was attempting to say was that most private schools, those without a particular political or religious ideology,i.e., madrases, often allow teachers more autonomy to ferret out the agenda-based contents of many text and prescriptive instructional programs; plus, private schools have a more vested interest in meeting community standards and are more open to the input of parents.

Thank you, I think, for that link. It only served to confirm the picture I have of Ayers.

Cowards such as Ayers must always find ways to belittle or humiliate others. This way through the humiliation of others they can continue to wallow in their own cesspool of thought and victimhood.

He is not a man, he did what he did to that young lady because of his lack of manhood. And it is in that lack of manhood that fuels his anger.

What, praytell, are the pro-establishment readings that Ayers is using in his classroom (or other commie/terrorist teachers like him) to balance out the anti-establishment readings in order to give his students a broad view of all sides?

I still can’t even believe that a known terrorist is teaching at a public university. It’s sickening. I can’t wait until the U of C in Berkeley hires Bin Laden to teach International Relations 101…or maybe they would get real “tolerant” and put him in charge of their Feminist Studies classes…

I know scary what your tax money pays for. Taxation without the proper representation seems there was war started over that,….. hmmm

TO ARMS TO ARMS..

to tacitly endorse said “anti-establishment readings” that come direct from an admitted, unrepentant terrorist does not show “both sides of an issue” it normalizes the extreme & lawless fringe of one of those sides!

/would you like ksm to publish a curriculum about international relations in the middle east? somehow methinks that might just be a bit “myopic” too!

1.) Everyone needs to read “Radical Son” by David Horowitz. In fact, THAT book should be required reading in every single English/Philosophy/History/Politics class. He openly and honestly discusses how Communism was embedded in so many places (i.e. the New York City Teacher’s Union was actually, literally a front for the Communist party…I would say it still is…), and how they latched on to other causes to increase their ranks and dilute their true agenda in order to attract more middle of road people (such as the current Ecochondriac/Communist/Socialist ties).
Very, very interesting read.

2.) As someone who wanted to teach and went back to school (University of Oxford – so I did not attend an American university) to get a graduate teaching certificate in Secondary Math – a pretty apolitical subject – I still made the decision to NOT teach in public schools after some serious thought. I refuse to be forced into joining a teacher’s communist’s union.

I sat through general ed classes as well as my specific, math oriented classes and believe me, they are teaching the teachers how to raise little communists, and on top of that, teaching the math teachers to not teach math – just that “fuzzy math.”

Now I teach adults at a non-profit, where I am totally in control of my own curriculum, and I like to throw in real-life examples when studying percentages, for instance, i.e. look at how much the government takes from your paycheck.

Lastly, when I have children, they will be homeschooled, and luckily, I have a teaching certificate so when Big Brother decides to go the California route and require teaching credentials, everyone can send their kids to me.
