 Why Public Schools Are So Likely To Teach Leftist Propaganda

The leftist propaganda taught in schools is no accident. It is the logical conclusion of the prevalent educational philosophy that favors skills over content and engagement over rigor.

School choice is finally having its moment in the national conversation, to the joy of those interested in school reform. While some states have adopted various school choice initiatives in small doses, most have not. This may change after President Donald Trump publicly brought up school choice in his recent State of the Union address, and Republican lawmakers have introduced a series of bills that would increase federal funding for vouchers.

If school choice were adopted nationwide on the proposed scale, public education would change significantly, mostly for the better. Using a government-issued voucher, parents would finally have greater freedom in choosing whether to send their children to public school, private school, or a charter school. So many public schools that currently enjoy a monopoly would no longer benefit from automatic funding that comes regardless of their performance; they would have to compete with other schools for students.

So, we are supposed to continue to pay for a failed public education system, then pay for 2 or additional broken school systems... Really stupid and doomed approach.
The elites are running the schools and ANY attempt to take it back is met with threats to withhold votes and funding.... we are screwed.

Public schools teach leftism because leftwing statists sign teachers' paychecks and fund their pensions.

Instead of offering a well rounded education to its charges it is instead in the education establishment's personal interests to crank out legions of little leftwing voters who will perpetuate their fiefdom.

The democrats and the schools (one in the same) have panicked children in to believing that they will all be dead in twelve years because...well, the weather. And, of course, only government can fix the weather.

It’s a great GOTV method for insuring voter loyalty. YOU'RE GONNA DIE IF YOU DON’T VOTE FOR US!

You left out the Leftist professors who teach the left wing teachers (who won't get good grades if they can't parrot the party line). Without teaching certification, no one gets to teach.
