Teacher Refuses to Allow Boys to Play with Legos because of "Gender Equality"

I would do anything for love
But i won't do that

The subject is certainly being taught with a Left Wing bias.



Sources talking about common core "destroy" an argument regarding Left Wing bias in the humanities? :screwy:

Not even trying to hide the troll. Are you?

Sources on how history and humanities are taught with a left wing bias. C'mon. I'm waiting.

You mentioned common core, I didn't. My sources destroyed your dubious "leftist academia" theory. If you didn't mention common core, I wouldn't have placed sources regarding it. Catch up. Also, I'm used to you calling people a troll the moment they call you out on your daft statements, unsupported by facts.

How about those Comanche torture techniques and the Communist Party ties of the 1960s anti-war movement, eh?

Still irrelevant? :roll:

It is, if you cannot support it by sources. Have at it. I'm waiting.

Yep, sounds like a valid theory Gathomas88 would support.

The author of his source paper states in the OP that other studies have shown the shift to the left of teachers has in no way effected the students political beliefs. Cherry picks too.

Lol. The article devotes literally a sentence to the subject, and provides absolutely no data, or links to data, backing its claims. It doesn't even name a particular study.

C'mon now professor. You should know better than this.

Ummm... Are you really pulling the "they do it, so we can too" card here? Lol

Gotta say, man. Not real "Libertarian" of you.

Yup. Go ahead and find me a modern "Socialist" European party which actually has power that supports total collectivization.

I'll wait.

Hell! France has a "Socialist" party in power right now. They're certainly not trying to "abolish private property," or "centralize the means of production."

Private property exists in France, Spain, Italy, etc. It's not China.

Do you deny the narrative I have described public schools teaching?

You mentioned common core, I didn't.
Click to expand...

So...

What?

My sources destroyed your dubious "leftist academia" theory.
Click to expand...

No, they did not. [emoji38]

You provided sources saying that common core was a "set of standards," basically.

Okay. So what? That's completely irrelevant to anything I'm arguing here.


Catch up.

No, you catch up.

Common core is irrelevant. Stop acting like its the crux of my argument here.

Common core cannot be irrelevant as you brought it up. Take that up with yourself. You're stalling. Sources on how humanities and history are taught with a leftist view.

Yet, France is ruled by a "Democratic Socialist" party.

Hmmm... How do you explain that, educator?

Come to think of it, why did you not know this already, educator?

Yet, it is.

In case you haven't noticed, I haven't said anything about Common Core (other to tell you to stop talking about it) for ten pages now.

It would seem that the Conversation has moved on without you, educator. Catch up.

You are assuming that there is such evidence of what you claim. Just because people claim this left wing dominated education system doesn't mean it's true. Plus, even if it were true, it would have nothing to do with this teacher being an idiot and doing this.
Click to expand...


There is evidence. Every instance of children being sent home because they chewed a poptart into a vaguely gun shaped object is evidence, as is every instance of their being charged with sexual assault for kissing another student on the cheek. It's the same thing when they are prevented from wearing patriotic apparel because it might "offend" non-American students as well.

On the institutional side, there's the issue of curriculum having a self-evident Left Wing lean, and teachers unions almost always going for the DNC.

roguenuke said:
Another problem with your assumptions is that they presume to ascribe certain set beliefs to people based purely on claimed "lean". And you do not show that other ideologies, assuming that left wing lean people must all hold certain set beliefs, and the same for those leaning right. You cannot know what any teachers really feel about various issues based solely on a survey that only discusses general leans, not individual beliefs. And there is the fact that different areas have different leans of teachers. I'm willing to bet that more teachers where I live now lean more right than those that my son had at his first school.

Completely unnecessary. Left-leaning persons generally carry Leftist ideological beliefs.

That is a truism, and more than sufficient for the purposes of this thread.

In other words, there is absolutely no reason why the DNC cannot be a "Socialist" party, even in spite of its nominal support for private property.

You were wrong. Thank you. I accept your concession, educator.

Quibbling again, because this is at least the fourth time I've seen you use this ...

The DNC is not a party. The DNC is the Democratic National Committee, which is the principal leadership body of the Democratic Party. Just like the RNC for Republicans.

France is "ruled" by many parties. There are seven represented in the Senate and at least 10 in the National Assembly. The president, Francois Hollande, is from the Socialist Party; however, Hollande does not "rule France." Just like the U.S. hasn't had eight years of "Democratic rule," as you claimed earlier.

I pretty commonly see "DNC" used as the antithesis of "GOP."

If you know a better abbreviation to use, feel free to let me know.

Which doesn't change the fact that, while neither party really has much respect for property rights or free markets on the abstract ideological level, neither is actually making any active attempt to do away with them either.

"Old Guard" puritanical Socialism has proven itself to be a non-starter time and again. Modern parties tend to moderate themselves to a certain extent for that exact reason.

In any eventuality, the fact of the matter remains that the modern Democratic party has a Hell of a lot more in common with these moderate(ish) European "Socialist" parties than anything having to do with traditional American politics.

And yet, you still wound up believing every. single. last. lie, blatant misrepresentation, and warping of "pop history" commonly held to be "truth" by every public school educated person under the age of 40 I've ever met.

How could that have come to be the case, I wonder? Hmmm... :roll:
Click to expand...

Gosh, and when I read about this whole case, that is exactly what I see you doing.

This , according to all information, was one person who acted on their own, and it was a very short lived idea. It was based on one interview that according to the school district was taken out of context, although the newspaper 'stands by their claim' , because that is what they allege the teacher told them. Even if totally accurate (we of course, know newspapers NEVER take comments out of context, right?? ), it was a single person making a choice, getting their hands slapped by the school district, and then having the idea cease and desist (because if the account is accurate, it was a stupid idea to being with).

However, you have to blow it out of proportion, and paint all 'liberals' for the action of one school teacher (that is , of course, assuming that this ONE newspaper article didn't take things out of context to begin with). By the time you posted the OP, the policy had ended.

you don't know if any or all of those teachers/staff were left wing. You assume.

Yep. That seems to be the basis of this thread; assumption over reason.
 
Most of the leftists I've ever met have been none too sure about their own sexual identity or preferences. Not surprising that people like that would be on a mission to erase as many distinctions between the sexes as possible.
