I'm my county kids are being taught from a very early age some sort of emotional social learning (ESL) crap that is teaching them to make decisions based on emotions instead of facts or logic. I also just learned kids as young as elementary school age are being given questionnaires regarding sexual activity, suicide ideation and drug use. All of this leading up to a socialist mindset. 

I was actually going to  start a discussion about it posting some of the questions posed to elementary, middle and high school students and ask if anyone else has kids in schools where this is going  on. It's truly disturbing what kids here in small town NC are being taught, I can't imagine bigger cities. I had a hard time going to sleep that night.

I was born into a family of public educators, both administrators and teachers. I am around active teachers much of my time. None of them see what you describe happening in their schools.

If anything, my own school education was politicized towards conservative thought. We had to take Americanism vs. Communism as a Civics requirement to graduate high school. Two teachers taught the class, a 70s hippie who organized an annual folk festival, and a retired Marine drill sergeant. Do you reckon their curriculum was identical?

I do think that there is extreme bias in some of our public education indoctrination centers.  It's not only the curriculum that some schools have and the way that it is presented, but also the "social education" being taught.  As an example, students are not allowed to wear clothing that might be considered "offensive" or "harmful" to others.  That might be a student wearing a t-shirt with a gun on it.  The problem in this example is it could be used as a teaching moment regarding 1st Amendment and 2nd Amendment rights.  This is just one of many examples that I have seen lately.

Another example is the changing of Christmas stuff in schools.  It's no longer Christmas it's either "winter holiday" or "Xmas".  Why exactly have we celebrated that holiday for so long?  Why ban traditional Christmas songs from school concerts or plays such as "Silent Night"?  Again it could be a teaching moment, but yet the fact that the country was founded on Judaeo Christian belief is completely ignored.  This isn't a discussion about religion and nobody is saying that religion should be taught in schools, it's all about the history and traditions of the country.

What about the idea of "gender identity"?  Why did it all of the sudden become proper for boys to use the girl's bathroom/locker room and vice versa?  Where is the education regarding reproduction and family planning?

I could go on, but I think my point has been made regarding the education indoctrination in today's public schools.
