I am curious though,do your teachers despise Bush ? Do they feel the war in Iraq,is wrong ? Do they believe that the war on terror is wrong ? Do they talk about their political feelings and opinions,in front of the class ? Have you been asked to write an essay on why the war on terror is wrong ? Do you believe that military recruiters shouldn't be allowed on campus ? Do you think that guns should be banned ? Have they encouraged you,in your sex ed class,to engage in oral sex,masturbation and fisting ? Is abortion viewed as a ready means of birth-control ? Sorry for all the questions,but it would be helpful in determining just how liberal your enviroment is there.
My teachers don't get into politics unless it relates to the subject matter they are teaching. My current history teacher does his best to teach from multiple viewpoints, often using sources other than what is found in our text book. The only essays I write are literary analysis papers and essays relating to the subjects we learn about ie: factors of world war I. In these cases they never tell us which perspective to write in. Last year in my history class we did have to write an essay on what we thought of homosexual marraige since it was an issue the state was deciding on.
My school has an ROTC program (Air Force) and military recruiters are there frequently, just this week for example. I have a friend in the Marines who did recruiting at the school and in the area as well.
As I said in my previous post I believe guns, like drugs can be used irresponsibly but this is not reason enough to ban them. They are here and they are hear to stay, taking guns from innocents only leaves them in the hands of criminals.
The sex education program for sophmores (i am a junior) was meant to teach us that there is no such thing as safe sex, but rather went into methods of safer sex using contraceptives. My school does not give away condoms at the health center, I doubt many students would use them anyways.
Abortion was never taught as a 'birth control' method, they teach about plenty of other methods which if used properly would not result in a pregancy and thus no abortion would be necessary.
