this is literally true. i was a proud american conservative one day but then my parents clicked the wrong link and sent me to public education on accident. by day 1-- and this is a very embarrassing story i am about to tell you-- i went home and began talking in depth about critical race theory and my turn to marxism then i went outside and burned down the star spangled banner. my parents were horrified and i was extremely saddened at all the liberal, socialist, anti-american, chinese, soviet, CRT, orwellian propaganda i had absorbed in one day of public education. i was forced back to homeschooling where, with the help of reddit and watching infowars and tucker carlson, i was put back on the true path of patriotism! love for your country!

You're only right using the definition of "liberal" that refers to general support of the status quo. History textbooks still refuse to go that far into things that make the US or most powerful historic figures look bad, and their definition of communism is demonstratably wrong.

But you're not talking about that, are you? Schools might make students swear loyalty to a flag every morning, but they also acknowledge the existence of gay people and that's clearly indoctrination

What's Texas like? I like on the east coast and that's what it is like here, would love to hear your take.

The latter is simply untrueSCOTUS ruled that students have a right to refuse to say the pledge or pledge of allegiance. Back during the 1980s in the UK, the far-left has control of many local school districts. And it ended up hurting Labour in national elections. One thing I would like to point out which I think it’s very relevant, when it school started teaching about homosexuality, so the most art and objectors to this were African immigrants. Quite similar to today in UK where the main objectors to teaching about LGBT issues are immigrants from Arabia.

I didn’t say the pledge 8th grade-12 grade. My high school only said the Pledge of Allegiance one time a week and that was through the intercom.

You're right, I shouldn't have written about it like it was mandatory. It is still conditioning, though, and creepy as hell.

Lol, no it’s not conditioning and no is isn’t creepy. What would be creepy would having children raising their firsts and singing the Internationale, and the way the public schools are going, this is a real possibility.

My public school health teacher warned girls to never date bisexual guys, my biology teacher prefaced every mention of evolution with "it's okay if you don't believe this, I don't believe it", and the teacher of a criminal justice elective got all giddy about criminal suspects being shot 100 times by police. And this was in a blue county in a purple state.

In my blue state, I have been told transgenderism and non-binarism are valid. You have to completely Support the LGBT+ whatever community. With Pride flags and BLM flags all over the wall. Under the sign "Black history is Americans History" There is a red piece of paper on top and another Black Piece under it Hmm... Where have I seen that?

Seems like it is trying to imitate this.

I think political positions of schools vary to be honest, by quite a lot. My school was progressive leaning and they went overboard in many ways, alienating some of the progressive students with how extreme it was with a mandatory political seminar. Even I think it was like a quasi-Maoist struggle session, though it was stringently only cultural (not economic) issues. Either way, dissent during it was not allowed, and by dissent, I'm NOT talking about white nationalist claptrap either, but anything skeptical. That being said, I heard things about conservative leaning schools doing things like that from the other direction, and you know what, I believe that too.

Schools in different jurisdictions can be run very differently. They're not homogeneous.

It depends where you are in the state and the people on the School Board. But still a political battleground even more in Swing states like the one I'm in.

Neither party deserves to run the schools to be honest. It's just the ones we're stuck with.

I agree no party has the right to control the public school curriculum I would give it the pass if its a religious school or a private school.
