[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD had a teacher who expressed stereotypical views against certain racial groups. She would make comments about how certain students must be good at certain sports or other students must be good at math/science. She was an English teacher and it was obvious she felt only one group was good at writing. I spent the whole year wondering how to bring this up to the school and never did because it is such a difficult topic but I now spend way too much time thinking about how much I regret not raising it.

There must be many teachers like this who feel strongly on all political sides and most of them set aside their. biases when they walk into the classrooms but not all. I think more should be done to try to address this problem especially given what is going on with the whole critical race theory issue and the book banning nowadays.[/quote]

That's the thing - i[b]f people don't want ideas on one side of the political spectrum in the classroom, they have to keep other sides out too. That's the whole idea of a viewpoint neutral classroom[/b]

The only way to provide a neutral viewpoint learning environment is by not presenting any information that is not absolute fact-based like math. Teaching and learning requires inclusion of various viewpoints, not no viewpoints.  So the various political perspectives need to be included, not just one, regardless of which side you're on.[/quote]

Yes, you're right, I put in inaptly. But the teacher doesn't get to heavily favor a side, either outright or indirectly. That biases things.[/quote]
