Example of Bias in Education

Here is a blog to take a look at- this teacher has created a blog to help his/her students learn about United States government better. This is for an advanced placement course, which means that the course is about teaching students a very specific curriculum so that they can do well on the AP test at the end of the year and earn college credit. I teach AP government myself, and there isn't much time to get into partisan politics and still teach your students the material they need to know. Also keep in mind that AP Government classes have the best and brightest future leaders in them.

In this blog, you can see a typical example of how a liberal teacher 'teaches.' They have selected a series of articles for students to read: One peddles the myth that Palin attempted to ban books, another rips Palin's experience, another sounds like a balanced look at the debates but the tone is hopeful for Obama in it, another sounds like a balanced look at the style of how the two candidates react to crisis but is pro-Obama (with comments inserted by the teacher in bold that are even more pro-Obama), etc. These are not impartial selections, designed to enlighten students knowledge about important concepts in American political thought, but rather pieces selected by the teacher to indoctrinate their students and force them to think a certain way.

This blog is more evidence that the biggest threat to your children are liberal teachers pushing their agenda on students rather than teaching students how to think critically. A cursory glace at this teacher's website find that liberal movies are watched (... So Goes the Nation), that any political cartoons shown are heavily liberal, and that all other items of interest to this teacher are also heavily Democrat. No attempt is made to be unbiased towards the students- instead, they are forced to weather as they can their liberal teacher, submitting to the will of this authority figure in order to earn decent grades in this class. I guess though, what do you really expect from a teacher from the left coast though? Students at the public school Mt. Spokane High School, I feel sorry for you.
