    I was only asking Polly what grade level out of curiosity; how in depth do these history lessons get. I was not considering indoctrination as others are.

    Understood, but the thought is a bit troublesome that this historicist might teach history.

    Even tho he made some mistakes have to admit I liked Reagan.

    The fact that vapid tools like Polly might breed are why I have zero concern about legalized abortion. $#@! it, I'd help subsidize it.

    When's the last time you saw a bed wetter disciplined for indoctrinating youth about the "virtue" of collectivist dogma? They've been exposed plenty of times, yet they don't seem to loose their jobs.

    Not sure about the second sentence, but this is something I agree with.
    I am glad I don't have kids, too, because kids right now all seem to think just like Polly does.

    That's not "thinking", that's regurgitating the "facts" they've been indoctrinated with in order to pass tests. They're not "educated", they're brainwashed, because even an elementary understanding of human nature should cause a person to reject collectivist dogma.

    That's why these elist pig $#@!s sit around in echo chambers reassuring each other how smart they are, and when they get into the real world they have to dismiss all disenters as "uneducated" rather that consider the possibility they do not know everything.

    After reading some of the sociopathic $#@! Margret Sanger wrote/said, I'm convinced that their own "progressive" agenda needs to be enforced against them, since they are indeed the weakest link.

    Seriously? She didn't do anything to you so why would you say that kind of stuff about her? Why do I have the feeling that you'd have no problem at all with her if she had your points of view. I seriously doubt she does anything unethical or political with those kids.

    What?

    I respect her right to choose. So much so I'd encourage her to choose.

    I'd have no problem with her if she showed even the slightest independent though, but that is clearly lacking.

    With all due respect ma'am everyone I've ever dealt with uses whatever influence they have to promote all sorts of things, political, religious, or otherwise. She might not be "unethical" but there's no way any teacher can prevent their personal feelings or thoughts from affecting the way they present things.

    You called her a vapid tool, questioned why she is allowed on a campus, and then implied you would have been ok with her, or at least her kind, being aborted. You then criticize her for not showing independent thought , mainly since she doesn't share your politics. I don't normally get this affected by comments but I don't mind trying to defend her. She didn't do anything to deserve your comments beyond just giving her opinion on the inauguration.
