    So, if propaganda comes from the other side of the political aisle, which it does all the time in public school curriculums, would you be just as upset over it? I’m not agreeing with Pragers agenda either but when parents rally against terrible ideas being “pushed” onto their kids from the left wing loonies, they get called terrorists and trouble makers. Stuff like drag queen hour at an elementary school is supposed to NOT also be an agenda? Cmon. Please.

    How about we keep ALL politics, agendas, propaganda and other crap like that out of classrooms and get back to teaching kids useful things like reading, writing and arithmetic? Dump the heavy social activism crap. Stay out of that stuff entirely. Just teach the basics.

        Yeah - I certainly support them over creepy 46 year old men wearing dresses but you do you. :)

          I guess we should ban all depictions of Socrates then! Or Jesus for that matter. What about Franklin Delano Roosevelt as a young kid?

            Jesus is already banned in public schools, LOL. Can’t do Christmas anymore. Honestly, ALL religion should be kept out of public schools so I guess I agree with you here. Socrates? Not sure how to respond to that. FDR would be part of a standard US history curriculum I’d think.

        They have zero place in any public school whatsoever under any circumstances. Whats next? Foot fetish day in 2nd grade? The point is that trying to shove this useless crap into schools at all is just a horrible idea. Try again.

          Why are you equating them with something sexual in nature? How is empathy and acceptance of difference useless? Try again.

              That’s why when they say they hate “politics” and want it out of schools, people get scared: “Shit, am I ‘politics’ on this week’s Fox News Bingo Card?”

          Putting on femininity isn’t inherently sexual, unless you think femininity is inherently sexual. (It’s not. Women are full human beings.) I put on dresses every day near kids without it being weird. Can’t imagine how having a penis would change that.

      Blocked. We’re not here to debate our right to exist. Your agenda is genocide and it’s right to inoculate children against your fascist brainworms. Go buttchug Mr. Ed’s Miracle Paste in someone else’s comments.

      No one’s using an IWW-created curriculum, so I don’t know what “left-wing loonies” you’re talking about. You’re is comparing center-left “don’t be mean to brown people because they’re people” to PragerU’s fascist content. Do right wing nutjobs just not know how far out they are for “both sides” comparison?
