My based AP US History teacher did tons for his kids. His reading list was brutal. Included The Federalist Papers and Common Sense, among many, many others. And you couldn't just Cliff-Notes it, either. He actually interviewed every kid, one-on-one, to see if you'd read and understood the books he assigned. R.I.P, Mr. Allred. One of the greats.
The turning point in my awakening happened in college; i was required to take a racist “ethnic studies” class. The prof was a full-bore, la Raza, total looney leftist who regularly wrote “AmeriKKKa” on the board.
I fucking hated him.
He actually did me a big favor, because I just viscerally knew what he was saying was wrong. I knew it in my heart & guts.
In my work to factually dispute his communist bullshit, I was turned on to Thomas Sowell, along with many other conservative thought leaders.
I have been moving further and further right ever since then. :-D
So really, the communist did me a favor by being a dirty fucking commie.
My US History teacher was a cuck who had clear biases whenever we had to do debate assignments. I had to argue for using the atomic bomb on Japan, and there was no way I had any chance of proving anything since his mind was clearly made up before the assignment was even issued. Mind you, I am part Japanese and felt it was largely justified, but I was in a class largely composed of ignorant cucks who thought you should just bend over and get raped instead of shooting your attacker.
In the eighties and nineties we lived in the Midwest. Nearly every fifteen year boy had a gun rack on their pickup. Age for driver's license was fifteen at the time. I never felt I was in danger.
I too went to high school in the mid 80's and I did have one liberal teacher, but he was not what you call a liberal today, he was an old school classic liberal if you want to call it that, he taught English class but spent most of the time just talking to us about whatever topics that came up, along with the required things like Shakespeare etc.
He would go on at length about free speech, and personal liberty from that old school liberal perspective, I really think it helped me a lot, both in maturing my mindset to higher concepts and in critical thinking to some degree (for an 17 year old anyway), I would say he was the only teacher I had that gave me something useful from my high school experience.
He was no ex hippie either, was a pretty tough guy and did not coddle us either, no space spaces in there.
I’m the same age as you. I remember ‘76 being such a big party. For the whole year it was a celebration for our country and it’s history. We were so lucky to experience those times. A lot of my friends had older siblings in HS and I remember several of them having gun racks in their pickups or some kind of rifle in their trunk. And just FYI for anyone younger reading this, it would never cross anyone’s mind that the guns would be used on another person, they were there for target practice or hunting.
In college I took an African studies class taught by a white woman with red hair who was a feminist would shit on African culture every class because it was patriarchal. She even convinced an actual African tribal chief who happened to be on campus doing a speech to come to our class and talk. After he explained to us how the men are warriors and had to prove their manhood by hunting a lion, she bombarded him with feminist questions about how the women have to stay home and can’t be warriors. The look on the mans face said it all. He was confused and uncomfortable having to defend his culture that hasn’t changed for most likely thousands of years. And the worst part was I wanted to know more about the lion hunting! But this bitch wasted everyone’s time with her stupid feminist agenda.
No shit. Why can't we learn about important, and useful stuff like fucking lion hunting. I'd want to know more too. That could come in handy one day if I'm ever hunting lions.
Wow. I wonder how that would play today... we're supposed to treat Africans and native cultures like saints but then when you get into the roots they're like: "But why don't the women hunt lions? Why is there no gay marriage?" Ultra colonialist.
I enrolled in "African Culture Studies" hoping to learn more about Africa in general. First class was full of half-retarded football players and the black professor immediately made it clear the class was about blacks being oppressed in the United States.
Same. the class fit some requirement for an elective. It sounded interesting and fit in my schedule. It was an easy grade but man, if you had a different opinion you just got shut down immediately by an army of SJW feminists. It was weird.
I'm old enough and lucky enough to have been taught stuff like Mathematics before it was racist, and English and American literature that is probably banned now.
And then Big Tech says Americans are lazy and stupid and need to be replaced by (compliant, Democrat-voting, cheap-labor) immigrants. Same with Chinese fentanyl "See, working class/rural white people are useless druggies!"
Lucky enough to have read and been terrified by Animal Farm, 1984 and "Harrison Bergeron" in jr. & maybe HS. Was never raised in any patriotic or religious context, but have always had a strong sense of fairness, so maybe that carried me til my eyes opened.
Kicked out of every class I ever was in. Still did well in my exams because school is bullshit
I questioned everything and this made me a bad student instead of someone wanting to learn.
I work at a school now fixing their servers network and blah blah (I am in IT)... I have been called into the office a few times cause I love Trump and Shoot guns.
The same things that made you a "bad student" will make you an excellent human and your employers are going to love you. as someone that might have walked this path a long time before you did let the past go as quickly as you can and focus on the future. Learning has been my greatest joy in life. It's sad that I had to get out of school to actually start doing it.
My current plan is to move out of the city, Picked a nice coastal town of 70k people with all the modern amenities but still cheap beer at the lawn bowls club
6 beaches with 5 mins of each other. Going up in a month to look at properties
I could work any low paying job and afford it as long as it is not city living... Min house price is 1 million where I am now and 300k for a 2 bedroom apartment where I want to live..
house Prices in Australia are insane. An hour from the city you are looking at 1.4 million for 3 bedrooms 1 floor.
They basically sold all our main cities to developers and China
I call the entrance into my shopping center the Valley of Death. It is 2 lanes each way with parking half of the day each side. 2000 or so apartments Chinese style all the way down for 1 KM. Maybe more.
It is crazy. 100 Percent Chinese owned. My area is now the largest non English speaking area of Australia
Most sops dont have signs in English even though it is illegal. Food is amazing though. Aussie quality of produce with amazing asian cooking.
Still never had a Pho as good as Vietnam. Everything in Vietnam tastes better there
Australia has been sold off. We are lost.. If was up to me I would remove all foreign bullshit and take it all back. Do what Geotus was doing and bring back manufacturing.
Holy Biden (I'm trying to replace shit with a more accurate description) that kind of breaks my heart I've always wanted to go to Australia to visit or maybe to live when I was younger. Saw it as a young America when rugged individualism was still possible. The picture that you're painting which be is being echoed echoed by Australian media is just sad. It's like Commiefornia but worse.
What you just did is the key to a happy life, you looked at the problem found a solution and are going to act on it. That's what's going to make employers love you. May bounce around a little bit it may take you a while to find the right company to work for or maybe start your own.
We are amazing to visit. Cheap for the USA due to the Dollar difference. Very expensive for people who live here. A 2 bedroom apartment 1 hour from the city went from 340k to 800k in 3 years due to Chinese immigration and money. It is now back down to about 600k for a 2 bedroom
I could move to an amazing state in the USA and own 10 acres for 300k
Always loved the USA as it is the last bastion of freedom. If it falls to these commies we are all done
I know Australia sucks the nuts of the USA and I am so proud we have stood up to China of late.
Wish I could move to America but I am not brown enough and too well educated. Sad to say but true.
Australia sold off so much of its assets for cash. We had people turning up to sales of houses in my area with actual suitcases of cash and no one stopped them.
They tried to have a celebration for the 100 year anniversary of Chairman Mao. We are basically fucked if the USA loses GEOTUS
In 30 years we will have over 60 percent of our population on government benefits our housing. Full communism
Spez - We are amazing to visit. Some brilliant scenery and food. Cheap for most countries and we are very welcoming. If you went to a bar you would end up making friends with strangers. Well I do cause I talk to everyone
Aust is chill but it has changed so much in cities. Yesterday shopping in my local area at 3.30. Zero white children around in school uniform. Basically all white people have been pushed out of cities.
We love Australia-the country and people, not the politics. We travelled all over the world and home school our kids and want to take them around the world to see as much as they can. I want them to see what real poverty looks like. It’s not 250lbs w a new cell phone. It’s no shoes or family, digging in garbage to eat. people don’t even realize how blessed we are here in the US. We must FIGHT for it. And fight we will.
I love the USA and wish I could move there. I am not brown enough and I have too many qualifications to move. Sounds crazy but it is true.
Dont want a city. I am looking for what I will move too here. 70 to 100k people max.
The second I saw the President go down the escalator I knew this was the change in the world I wanted for years.
Australia has a conservative gov in now and they are doing... ok.. just ok but better than not. They just want to keep taxing us for everything and the police are just tax collectors.
take your kids to Vietnam.. It is poverty but everyone is working and they are embracing capitalism even though it is communism.
They love everyone even the USA. (they said as long as you spend money we love you)... they get it
Do northern vietnam and you will see poverty. I gave a family what I would spend on 1 beer and almost started a riot because it was like 1 months wages. It was about 60 cents to me
Back in the '80s I ran a restaurant in Texas and had a group of young Australian men that were touring America basically waiting tables until they saved up enough money to move to the next place they wanted to go to to visit. The same kind of vacationing that I did in Europe and South America.
Had reached the point in management where I couldn't really socialize with my employees regularly and be effective. I rode a motorcycle to work and I was very young, some folks try to take advantage.
Made an exception for these guys from Australia, would go out drinking with them. Enjoyed every minute spent with them working or drinking. They were hilarious hard-working salt of the earth folks we even made them honorary Texans. They were the opposite of people that asked for favors or to overlook bad behavior. They are responsible for my love of Australia.
Was so funny when I was on a cruise. Every happy hour i would go to the bar and meet new people. It always got political and when I said I love Trump I usually got a really good response. One couple was from Vermont and they just walked away hahahaah
One thing that is sticking out from my past is how much my history teachers absolutely TRASHED McCarthyism.
I specifically call one instance in which I felt really concerned about how much the teacher was bashing him, raised my hand, and asked, "But did we know if he was lying or not? Like, couldn't there have actually been Communists in political office?"
The teacher got furious with me, and sent me to the hall. lol.
My government teacher, nearly 20 years ago, told us America was too racist to elect a Black President, especially if his name was "foreign sounding," too stable to ever have another Civil War, that Clinton's economic policies were responsible for Bush's economic successes and on and on. I was told he still mocked me for debates we'd had in his class for years afterward.
Mr. Ruth, if you ever read this: I've had the last laugh, and there's much more to come.
My 6th grade Spanish teacher told my parents I’d never learn a foreign language because I was dumb. Now I can program in 12 language. Still fuck Spanish.
When I graduated high school, my English teacher gave me a book of speeches by Margaret Sanger, because she was disappointed I was going to a conservative religious doll he and was trying to "save" me from my evil, repressive, pro-life ideology.
Today, I have four kids, and she's heartbroken because her kids have either gotten themselves sterilized or become trans and gotten themselves sterilized, and she'll never have grandchildren.
The best teacher I ever had, and still friends with 20+ years later, is a Democrat. He spent 6 years in our state legislature .. new I was a republican in highschool as I was talk about Newt and the good ole days of Reagan. Never pushed his agenda, always challenged me to fully understand why I thought the way I did.
Every other liberal teacher was a pathetic insecure piece of shit that deserves the day of the guillotine.
I went to a liberal college and I remember my first political science class. The professor asked us which political party we identified with. I was the only student who raised their hand for republican. The professor asked if my parents were conservative and assured me that was why I was a republican.
I was constantly called on to educate everyone in my class on the "republican" view. Then debate it. I was 18 and intimidated and shy. After a few weeks I realized that with a full class load, being an athlete, working a job (because my scholarship didn’t cover all of my tuition) i didn’t have enough time to constantly defend my beliefs. I decided to lie to the class that I thought about it and I was now a Democrat just so I could get a good grade and get the target off my back. (Not something I’m proud of) My professor never questioned why I flipped, she was just happy I did.
Nope, I graduated in ‘89. We read 1984, Animal Farm, had a smoking area, had hunter safety with rifles in the classroom, and learned the horrors of socialism.
My college has a boner for BLM and they push racism and feminism in every GenEd class. One of my professors made us read bullshit books written by commies and feminists and my classes were usually full of libtards. So I thought fuck this shit and dropped out and now joining a bootcamp soon. Never been so happier in my life lol.
Leaving college like that seems unreasonable to many people on the left. I’m sure it wasn’t the easiest choice, but as you know, your happier leaving leftist bullshit behind. I left a legal career to go back into engineering to get away from leftist bullshit. As someone who is physically unable to join, Thank you for joining!
I was brainwashed. I voted for Clinton, Boxer, and Feinstein in 1992.
Then I had a great year in 1993, and had to write my first check 5 figure check to the IRS. Went full libertarian and never looked back.
Being young and liberal is normal. You are still assuming that the bubble of safety given to you by your parents is the normal life, and want government to keep it going. Our key is to make sure folks understand the true nature of government.
Had an economics teacher in high screwal that spent most lessons talking about how great Bill Clinton was. It was borderline cultist levels of admiration.
She was also brutal to kids whom she found out were conservative. Her and I butted heads a lot. She "accidentally" "lost" homework assignments that I turned in and even tests I took. I learned the benefits of documenting everything from that class and it's a skill I use constantly to this day so...at least some good came from it?
This was in a VERY backwoods school in the rural south, mind you. Stay vigilant, the leftist scumbags can infiltrate everywhere.
My favorite teacher was a nuclear sub technician, who taught computer hardware, and spent his class budget buying salvaged parts in bulk which we built up and donated to schools with less.
He is a true hero of our country, and he is not alone.
At the kids school's, we have an array of teachers, but what stands out is the number of Trump supporting kids, they dominate the rooms 8:1 easily.
Luckily my history teachers where based as fuck. My english teacher hated me, and activity tried to fail me. But then when I wrote the final essay, an essay around a single word "determination" which gave me an abundance of historical examples to write about. Some provincial officials where involved with evaluating the essays and they liked mine so much they made it the official example for next years graduates. All of a sudden english teacher be like "hes my bestest student everrrrr! (Canapede here, hence provincial officials)
Thank goodness I grew up attending school from 81 through 94 and college years from 95-00 in MT.
I feel truly blessed now seeing what's happening to education in this country.
Now libtards in control and trying to indoctrinate our age group.
I think parents should really rise up against this where it's happening. These assholes purposely changed the educational books for this.
Now we're seeing the results and It's these kids now in places of power etc. who are pushing the clown world we currently see.
I had a couple crazy ones in college but caused them troubles along the way. One was a loony cunt that taught English and wanted us to read hippie books. I dropped the class and found another teacher. I graduated college in 2000, I think I was the last class or one of the last classes of free thinkers.
I grew up in the public school system in Oregon: I didn’t read a word of the constitution till 8th grade; the vast majority of my history classes were social studies and global studies; the vast majority of “American history” only focused on slavery and Jim Crow; one authentic American history class in 12 years of schooling; half a school year of government/civics in 12 years of schooling; half a school year of Economics in 12 years of schooling. All of that was constantly interrupted by disruptive classmates who were never disciplined. The public school system is nothing but a free money farm for shit teachers.
It happened to me, and is still happening in law school. It is still happening to my younger siblings too. Truly amazing how teachers attempt to brainwash students but will mess up your grade if you express a conservative viewpoint.
Although I always leaned conservative, the nail in the coffin was my junior college Logic and Critical Thinking professor. This guy was well-known but chose to teach at my local JC because he preferred instruction over research at that point in his career.
My teachers were either based or professional, they didn’t interject their opinions into the curriculum, unless it was relevant to the topic like history or gov/economics. Even then they didn’t try to force their opinion on the students.
I had an old school liberal feminist professor that actually red pilled me early on, I simultaneously red pilled her after I did a presentation on the subjugation of women in Islamic countires. The class was mad, she was dumbfounded but I could see the gears in her head turning, like damn this kid right though lol 🤣
Graduate of HS in the 70's.. My Matriculated GPA was a 2.1 (solid F) at that period.My History teacher had made the simple case of communism "VS" capitalism. Communism sounded good to this 16 year old stoner, until it was explained that the so called "support" was just like what happens in prison. 3 hots and a cot and labor. Lots of time to learn but no way to practice what has been learned. At least with prison there is a possibility of "getting out" not so when in the commie system. Capitalism was explained as well and it made more sense in that there is a a good possibility of success ( to me that gave me the first real sense that I could be independent) IF i was willing to show up and do the work - regardless of what it was. Results= Success. (not Elon Thiel, Peterffy money) Success none the less..
By their late 20s their bodies are telling them they're genetic failures for not having a child yet, and that produces psychological damage that is passed on to the kids in their care.
My based AP US History teacher did tons for his kids. His reading list was brutal. Included The Federalist Papers and Common Sense, among many, many others. And you couldn't just Cliff-Notes it, either. He actually interviewed every kid, one-on-one, to see if you'd read and understood the books he assigned. R.I.P, Mr. Allred. One of the greats.
That’s fucking awesome.
The turning point in my awakening happened in college; i was required to take a racist “ethnic studies” class. The prof was a full-bore, la Raza, total looney leftist who regularly wrote “AmeriKKKa” on the board.
I fucking hated him.
He actually did me a big favor, because I just viscerally knew what he was saying was wrong. I knew it in my heart & guts.
In my work to factually dispute his communist bullshit, I was turned on to Thomas Sowell, along with many other conservative thought leaders.
I have been moving further and further right ever since then. :-D
So really, the communist did me a favor by being a dirty fucking commie.
Kek.
Thomas Sowell is the most based former Marxist this world has ever known.
Wait, what?? He's a former marxist?? Dang....
Made me read Howard Zinn propaganda. Obv it didn’t stick lol
My US History teacher was a cuck who had clear biases whenever we had to do debate assignments. I had to argue for using the atomic bomb on Japan, and there was no way I had any chance of proving anything since his mind was clearly made up before the assignment was even issued. Mind you, I am part Japanese and felt it was largely justified, but I was in a class largely composed of ignorant cucks who thought you should just bend over and get raped instead of shooting your attacker.
You were very fortunate, and fortunately, you know that.
I'll be forever grateful.
Wow.
What?
In the eighties and nineties we lived in the Midwest. Nearly every fifteen year boy had a gun rack on their pickup. Age for driver's license was fifteen at the time. I never felt I was in danger.

I rember small bore rifle in high school later than that.
In college I took an African studies class taught by a white woman with red hair who was a feminist would shit on African culture every class because it was patriarchal. She even convinced an actual African tribal chief who happened to be on campus doing a speech to come to our class and talk.

Wow. I wonder how that would play today... we're supposed to treat Africans and native cultures like saints but then when you get into the roots they're like: "But why don't the women hunt lions? Why is there no gay marriage?" Ultra colonialist.
No but we learned about women getting their clitoris cut off
I enrolled in "African Culture Studies" hoping to learn more about Africa in general. First class was full of half-retarded football players and the black professor immediately made it clear the class was about blacks being oppressed in the United States.
Dropped that class so fucking fast.
Same. the class fit some requirement for an elective. It sounded interesting and fit in my schedule. It was an easy grade but man, if you had a different opinion you just got shut down immediately by an army of SJW feminists. It was weird.
I'm old enough and lucky enough to have been taught stuff like Mathematics before it was racist, and English and American literature that is probably banned now.
Math major here! Represent!
Out of the 1000+ people graduating that day there were only 4 of us who were receiving degrees in mathematics. We’re a dying breed.
Math is the basis for coding. Can't believe they are trying to make people dumber and less likely to compete in the modern world.
Uneducated people are easier to control. All part of the plan.
And then Big Tech says Americans are lazy and stupid and need to be replaced by (compliant, Democrat-voting, cheap-labor) immigrants. Same with Chinese fentanyl "See, working class/rural white people are useless druggies!"
Rape them and then call them whores.
I'm so freaking old, I took Civics in high school.
Lucky enough to have read and been terrified by Animal Farm, 1984 and "Harrison Bergeron" in jr. & maybe HS. Was never raised in any patriotic or religious context, but have always had a strong sense of fairness, so maybe that carried me til my eyes opened.

I don't want to be an uninformed voter, especially when voting is mandatory here.

One thing that is sticking out from my past is how much my history teachers absolutely TRASHED McCarthyism.
I specifically call one instance in which I felt really concerned about how much the teacher was bashing him, raised my hand, and asked, "But did we know if he was lying or not? Like, couldn't there have actually been Communists in political office?"
The teacher got furious with me, and sent me to the hall. lol.
FORKS MADE ME FAT
It wasn't just you pede. We must DO! something KEK.
Guns kill a lot more bad people than good anyway.
Repeat offenders often get out of prison, but they never get out of the cemetery!
My government teacher, nearly 20 years ago, told us America was too racist to elect a Black President, especially if his name was "foreign sounding," too stable to ever have another Civil War, that Clinton's economic policies were responsible for Bush's economic successes and on and on. I was told he still mocked me for debates we'd had in his class for years afterward.
Mr. Ruth, if you ever read this: I've had the last laugh, and there's much more to come.
My 6th grade Spanish teacher told my parents I’d never learn a foreign language because I was dumb. Now I can program in 12 language. Still fuck Spanish.
When I graduated high school, my English teacher gave me a book of speeches by Margaret Sanger, because she was disappointed I was going to a conservative religious doll he and was trying to "save" me from my evil, repressive, pro-life ideology.
Today, I have four kids, and she's heartbroken because her kids have either gotten themselves sterilized or become trans and gotten themselves sterilized, and she'll never have grandchildren.
Marg KKK Sanger?
The best teacher I ever had, and still friends with 20+ years later, is a Democrat. He spent 6 years in our state legislature .. new I was a republican in highschool as I was talk about Newt and the good ole days of Reagan. Never pushed his agenda, always challenged me to fully understand why I thought the way I did.
Every other liberal teacher was a pathetic insecure piece of shit that deserves the day of the guillotine.
Mid 90s Highschool is a pede fest compared to today.
I went to a liberal college and I remember my first political science class. The professor asked us which political party we identified with. I was the only student who raised their hand for republican. The professor asked if my parents were conservative and assured me that was why I was a republican.
I was constantly called on to educate everyone in my class on the "republican" view. Then debate it. I was 18 and intimidated and shy. After a few weeks I realized that with a full class load, being an athlete, working a job (because my scholarship didn’t cover all of my tuition) i didn’t have enough time to constantly defend my beliefs. I decided to lie to the class that I thought about it and I was now a Democrat just so I could get a good grade and get the target off my back. (Not something I’m proud of) My professor never questioned why I flipped, she was just happy I did.
Nope, I graduated in ‘89. We read 1984, Animal Farm, had a smoking area, had hunter safety with rifles in the classroom, and learned the horrors of socialism.
Yup, graduated in 2010 as a successfully indoctrinated individual with all the bells and whistles.
They even convinced me to vaxx myself up to date without my parents knowledge cause my body my choice. I was 16
I had a third grade teacher explain to us that Communism saps the will to achieve.
I'm one of the lucky ones.
When I was a kid I always wondered why all of my female teachers were childless in their home lives.
I realize now why they were childless. Had the lib crazies that prevented any children from habbening.
Why would you want to work with kids but not have any of your own???
We read the Book of Job in my small town honors english class. That was 24 years ago. Could never happen again in this climate.
Good thing I went to a Christian school in a largely conservative and religious nation.
My college has a boner for BLM and they push racism and feminism in every GenEd class. One of my professors made us read bullshit books written by commies and feminists and my classes were usually full of libtards. So I thought fuck this shit and dropped out and now joining a bootcamp soon. Never been so happier in my life lol.
Leaving college like that seems unreasonable to many people on the left. I’m sure it wasn’t the easiest choice, but as you know, your happier leaving leftist bullshit behind. I left a legal career to go back into engineering to get away from leftist bullshit. As someone who is physically unable to join, Thank you for joining!
I was brainwashed. I voted for Clinton, Boxer, and Feinstein in 1992.
Then I had a great year in 1993, and had to write my first check 5 figure check to the IRS. Went full libertarian and never looked back.
Being young and liberal is normal. You are still assuming that the bubble of safety given to you by your parents is the normal life, and want government to keep it going. Our key is to make sure folks understand the true nature of government.
Parents care, government can't.
College is what made me anti- democrat for life, due to this
Had an economics teacher in high screwal that spent most lessons talking about how great Bill Clinton was. It was borderline cultist levels of admiration.
She was also brutal to kids whom she found out were conservative. Her and I butted heads a lot. She "accidentally" "lost" homework assignments that I turned in and even tests I took. I learned the benefits of documenting everything from that class and it's a skill I use constantly to this day so...at least some good came from it?
This was in a VERY backwoods school in the rural south, mind you. Stay vigilant, the leftist scumbags can infiltrate everywhere.
My favorite teacher was a nuclear sub technician, who taught computer hardware, and spent his class budget buying salvaged parts in bulk which we built up and donated to schools with less.
He is a true hero of our country, and he is not alone.
At the kids school's, we have an array of teachers, but what stands out is the number of Trump supporting kids, they dominate the rooms 8:1 easily.
Luckily my history teachers where based as fuck. My english teacher hated me, and activity tried to fail me. But then when I wrote the final essay, an essay around a single word "determination" which gave me an abundance of historical examples to write about. Some provincial officials where involved with evaluating the essays and they liked mine so much they made it the official example for next years graduates. All of a sudden english teacher be like "hes my bestest student everrrrr! (Canapede here, hence provincial officials)
Which province?
The one run by "progressive" conservatives
Ottawa lol. I'm happy that I'm from Alberta, specifically Calgary.
The most based would throw the Quran in the trash, over the shoulder - no look, from across he room to show his opinion of it.
I got out before the no child gets ahead directive. Never have I been so glad to be old.
Thank goodness I grew up attending school from 81 through 94 and college years from 95-00 in MT. I feel truly blessed now seeing what's happening to education in this country. Now libtards in control and trying to indoctrinate our age group. I think parents should really rise up against this where it's happening. These assholes purposely changed the educational books for this. Now we're seeing the results and It's these kids now in places of power etc. who are pushing the clown world we currently see.
I didn't but I finished high school in the '70s
I caught my daughters school teaching the students to pull down historial statues during lockdown.
One for real?
Yes. It was put indirectly as a question "Is it acceptable for statues of xxx to remain in the present day and age, now that society has changed"
They're sneaky
I had a couple crazy ones in college but caused them troubles along the way. One was a loony cunt that taught English and wanted us to read hippie books. I dropped the class and found another teacher. I graduated college in 2000, I think I was the last class or one of the last classes of free thinkers.
Actually never had that. I’m 44 years old and grew up in a conservative area. Cant upvote in this case thankfully.
Same, basically.
I grew up in the public school system in Oregon: I didn’t read a word of the constitution till 8th grade; the vast majority of my history classes were social studies and global studies; the vast majority of “American history” only focused on slavery and Jim Crow; one authentic American history class in 12 years of schooling; half a school year of government/civics in 12 years of schooling; half a school year of Economics in 12 years of schooling. All of that was constantly interrupted by disruptive classmates who were never disciplined. The public school system is nothing but a free money farm for shit teachers.
It happened to me, and is still happening in law school. It is still happening to my younger siblings too. Truly amazing how teachers attempt to brainwash students but will mess up your grade if you express a conservative viewpoint.
Fuck the ccp
Although I always leaned conservative, the nail in the coffin was my junior college Logic and Critical Thinking professor. This guy was well-known but chose to teach at my local JC because he preferred instruction over research at that point in his career.
Gonna have to leave that arrow grey this time. I went to a based Catholic school 😂
Nick Sandmann? Is that you?
I gotta be truthful. Class of 2000 for HS, and I never had 1 marxist pushing teacher in all my school. But I grew up in "backwards" Oklahoma.
My teachers were either based or professional, they didn’t interject their opinions into the curriculum, unless it was relevant to the topic like history or gov/economics. Even then they didn’t try to force their opinion on the students.
We need a ban on pencils or at the very least a draconian tax on these evil implements. Think of the children pedes!!

I had an old school liberal feminist professor that actually red pilled me early on, I simultaneously red pilled her after I did a presentation on the subjugation of women in Islamic countires. The class was mad, she was dumbfounded but I could see the gears in her head turning, like damn this kid right though lol 🤣
All the way back since the early 2000's.
Graduate of HS in the 70's.. My Matriculated GPA was a 2.1 (solid F) at that period.My History teacher had made the simple case of communism "VS" capitalism. Communism sounded good to this 16 year old stoner, until it was explained that the so called "support" was just like what happens in prison. 3 hots and a cot and labor. Lots of time to learn but no way to practice what has been learned. At least with prison there is a possibility of "getting out" not so when in the commie system. Capitalism was explained as well and it made more sense in that there is a a good possibility of success ( to me that gave me the first real sense that I could be independent) IF i was willing to show up and do the work - regardless of what it was. Results= Success. (not Elon Thiel, Peterffy money) Success none the less..
Spoons cause obesity...
Yeah, a college professor. Dr. Sanders A. Diamond. You'll shit a brick when you see the book he wrote.
Childless women have no place teaching children.
By their late 20s their bodies are telling them they're genetic failures for not having a child yet, and that produces psychological damage that is passed on to the kids in their care.
Some women have health problems which make them unable to have kids. It is not always a choice.
Am I the only one who thinks this is a pic of Ricky Schroeder?
