[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Years ago, back in the early 1990s before things were quite so polarized, a professor said to the class that public education is always political. Because it is funded by taxpayers and representative of society, which meant the idea that people or some people should shut up and accept the wisdom of the educational authorities as fiat was wrong.

Some of you may be bothered by conservative concerns but their concerns are just as valid and important as yours. I must admit I find the recent emphasis on inclusion a bit bizarre because it implies schools weren't inclusive places in the past. Is that really the case? I'm 42 years old so I can't speak to the 1950s but the 1990s weren't dark ages. I support greater tolerance, naturally, but at the same time it's obvious what is allowed within that tolerance has greatly narrowed too. I'm pretty liberal but I'm glad I was educated 30 years ago, not today, because everything I see of educational establishments tells me they have become increasingly politicized and ideologically close-minded.

Liberals: We want to give everyone a fair chance.
Conservatives: Public education is too woke, so let's remove the books from the shelves and deny racism exists in our history and culture
