Is Conservative Indoctrination Becoming a Problem In Our Schools?

[Lisa]

A liberal indoctrination is not only acceptable but encouraged. A young mind is only so big. Clearly there no room for a conservative viewpoint.

Do you have a specific examples of what is so “dangerous” coming from PragerU?

Zero credibility and teaches conservative lies as fact is a problem for most people.

PragerU - Bias and Credibility

QUESTIONABLE SOURCE A questionable source exhibits one or more of the following: extreme bias, consistent promotion of propaganda/conspiracies, poor or no

No, it's the cartoon books describing boys performing fellatio on each other, and girls using strapons.

Make no mistake - that is what these illiberal authoritarians want in our schools.

The principle is much like that of the Hitler youth - get them early, then break down the bonds to family, replace that with a bond to the state and you will have them as yours forever.

the South never needed the slaves anyway, and would have been better off without them. they were really an Upper Class thing anyway.
.

A school of thought says slavery was going to dry up and blow away anyway within a couple more decades, anyway. No matter how right or wrong slavery is, it is expensive to keep slaves. It's much cheaper to free the slaves, then hire them at a less than subsistence wage.

Then again, there is still a thriving slavery market in the mideast, Africa, and Asia. Not to mention the sex slaves all around the world.

I’m of the mindset that more is better with education.

More books. More points of view. More exposure to a variety of ideas. More explanation of what different people believe and why. More theories, more exposure to how certain theories have been proven wrong. More exposure to the ugly history we have tried to bury.

I will never understand the mindset of limiting children’s access to what they can read and learn.


It’s a really big world and there is SO much to learn. Go learn as much of it as you can and as much of it as you want to.

The only path forward is knowing MORE, not less.

PragerU is fine, as long as it's made clear that this is a conservative perspective and there are many people who disagree, and here is what they say too.

Some of my best civics lessons in school were reading or watching people who disagreed with each other on the issues, each presenting their view calmly.

One could find more reliable sources than Prager for the conservative persepective.

Much like Republican college clubs, who bring in the likes of Milo Yiannopoulos and Gavin McInnes to share the conservative perspective.

Prager is low level stuff. I really hope people aren’t holding this up as any sort of “complete” or comprehensive lessons

This is not part of any curriculum, much less required reading.

What's wrong with ethnic studies?

And why do you think, after reading the link i provided, that this isn't liberal? Whether or not you think it desirable, mandated studies based on DEI or CRT are commonly considered not just conceptually liberal but harder left.

So the question is, why shouldn't those who of a different social or historical school of thought ALSO be adopted?

It is interesting that this is happening in the States with the worst educated children in America. Why the Red states take such pride in having poorly educated children is a mystery.

"Dry up and blow away"? Slavery was a major economic pillar of the South, and the primary reason the Civil War was fought...ending slavery would have decimated the economy of the South.

It fits in neatly with any anglocentric history curriculum.

Like one we might have been taught in the 1950s.

“Liberal Indoctrination” just means stuff like basic evolutionary biology

Only the politically correct parts. The left believes in the discredited blank slate theory and does not believe in the heritability of IQ. That's why they are obsessed with controlling education.

John Lott found that the more totalitarian a government is, the more it spends on government schooling.

Please be specific, you're just throwing around acronyms you've been told to hate.

No doubt.

It's bad enough when kids get to college and they have to be indoctrinated away from what they got from their parents. It's even harder on the colleges when they have to indoctrinate against what the kids got from their conservative schools.

 

[madman]

LOL.. this is the kind of education that has the left freaking out...

dude, you just have to deal that society leans left. Nobody wants to regress like the conservative. Conservatives are on the fringe of society.

I'm always impressed by the right-wing's determination that their kids lack the ability to think for themselves.

You're saying that it's the job of colleges and universities to indoctrinate students to be good liberal progressives?

It is in the context.
Everything that is anti-crazy - against lunatic progressive insanity to this guy is "dangerous".

And an Example of that would be? ...

I think what we are seeing is a society that leans right in a reality that leans left.

I have explained the effects of red-lining to two different posters and got personally attacked for it!

'Extreme and dangerous': Educators oppose PragerU partnership in South Carolina schools

abcnews4.com

PragerU has been lobbying red states for inclusion into the curriculum and finding some success in red states. This is concerning to all people who wish their kids receive an education in their school.

PragerU is not a university, it is a YouTube channel that pushes conservative propaganda. It has no place in the classroom, as an educational resource

Yes, it is a problem and they should not be allowed to peddle their propaganda in our schools, anymore than far-left political advocacy organizations should be allowed to. I do not want The Daily Wire or PragerU in my children's school anymore than I want More Perfect Union or ThinkProgress being able to push their particular left-wing political propaganda in their school.

 

[madman]

This might be a good thread to remind everyone of the left’s attempts to bring Critical Race Theory principles into the classroom with something called A Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction. The framework asserted, among other gems, that it insisting on correct answers to math problems was a form of white supremacy.

If memory serves, the framework was used in Origen and was the model for a proposed (possibly enacted) program in CA.

ahhhh, another BLOGGER. as mycroft says, dismissed.

I'm always impressed by the right-wing's determination that their kids lack the ability to think for themselves.

They're threatened by the idea that their ideas would be challenged...which makes you wonder how much confidence they had in their validity in the first place.

Many on the Right want to shelter their children from other points of view out of fear they will go their own way and figure things out the themselves.

Much like Right Wing media tells their viewers to avoid the MSM.
