[quote=Anonymous][quote]There is an obvious liberal bias in the Arlington public school curriculum and we are wondering if the Arlington/Alexandria/McLean Catholic schools are any better. We do not want our children to spend months on end learning about black Americans, Native Americans, Caesar Chavez, global warming, multiculturalism, etc. and miss out on learning about our founding fathers, 50 states, map skills, unbiased science, 'traditional' literature, etc. We are not being racists - we just feel that the liberal bias is obvious and it is not what we want for our children.

Does anyone have specific recommendations for Catholic schools that have more balanced and/or American-focused curricula?[/quote]

The short answer is no, OP, because the problem is in your premise. The examples you give above are found in Catholic school curriculum as well as APS curriculum and do not meet the definition of liberal bias. Of course, Catholic schools will be more conservative than public schools--if you are looking for "unbiased science", for example, you won't find that in a school that teaches creationism.

And, yes, you are being racists. Best to just own that outright.[/quote]
