Curricula Mock elections are just one example of how the educational establishment is brainwashing America's children. A recent study by the Center for the New West found that textbooks, widely used in grades 6-12 across the U.S., mislead and miseducate students with biased and inaccurate information about environmental issues. The Massachusetts Executive Office of Environmental Affairs' environmental education web page confirmed the truth of that study by revealing how they use the public schools to further their environmental agenda. If parents believe that the industrial revolution was one of the most liberating events in human history and disagree with the left's environmental mantra, they have a right to raise their children to believe the same. The environment is not the only issue that activists promote in the public schools.
Many teachers use the classroom to attack Western Civilization.
Doug Matthews bragged about how his political beliefs influence his lesson. He takes pleasure in debunking the glorification of Christopher Columbus, which pulls the rug out of the student's whole belief system, the Boston Phoenix reported. The questionnaire asked his students if a good gay lover might help them get over their heterosexuality. Matthews now teaches at Attleboro High School. His attitude further illustrates why teachers should teach only facts, and not attempt to tear down whole belief systems.
