I'm glad my last name was not "Coward", could've been tough growing up, or in the military ...

I don't know what is commonly taught these days in primary schools about any of this.  I see some examples of stuff I'd consider not good, but they are possibly isolated examples, and possibly exaggerated for impact.

I guess fortunately my kids grew up before any of this was remotely a consideration or concern.

I recall getting a note from school when mine were seniors that they were studying Genesis, but for it's literary qualities, not as a religious text.  I was fine with that.  One kid had a professor at OSU who announced first day he was a Communist, my kid said he was a pretty good professor overall.

I don't recall having any inkling of whether my professors were lib or con, none, and I got to know a few of them pretty well to the point of playing ball with them or having dinner with them at their house etc.

Leaving it all on the parents is how you get 12 year olds that don't trust the police
What about all the idiot adults who want no police?

Is that progress?

Is this?

I doubt very many adults want no police.  Some want different kinds of policing, parts of which I could get behind, parts not.  And yes, a rare few trying to make some splash say "Defund it literally", but they are not worth notice IMHO.  Nobody has tried it, one place replaced one department with another.  Yay.

I never encountered a communist professor back in my days, that I knew of.  I knew some at Ohio State who didn't seem to be that.

The topic didn't come up really, but they seemed quite reasonable.

I took a few military history courses from Profs that were ROTC
they weren't libs
Also, most profs in the engineering college seemed less liberal than profs in the elective disciplines
I would assume the same for the Business college

Used this quote in another discussion, and thought I'd share it--not related to any ongoing discussions BTW. I just like the quote.

No one in this world, so far as I know—and I have searched the records for years, and employed agents to help me—has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby. The mistake that is made always runs the other way. Because the plain people are able to speak and understand, and even, in many cases, to read and write, it is assumed that they have ideas in their heads, and an appetite for more. This assumption is a folly.

I found that professors in the liberal arts were liberal, and those in the conservative arts were not.

I was mostly joking with my comment, in case it's not known.

I had a professor that I'm pretty sure was a communist for one of my philosophy electives: Classic and Contemporary Marxism. 

In retrospect, I might have biased the entire class against me on the first day when I said I was taking the class to better understand Marxism in order to argue more effectively against it. 

Oops.

I've always known Madison to be very liberal, but I didn't sense that in the classroom. This is probably due to me taking mostly classes in engineering and science. 

I did all that other fluffstuff at community college, with instructors who were not tenured (i.e., they couldn't show any lean).

This is all a LONG time ago so who knows now?
