The Greatest Threat to America: Partisan Academics - Black & Blonde Media

This is a common debating fallacy..."When you can't debate the facts, undermine the source of the facts." People in academia, at all levels, get a bad rap from conservatives as being "liberal with an agenda". That's really not true at all. I've been in academia for over a decade now and I work with many people who are all across the political spectrum. Does a majority of them lean left? Probably so. However, that's not the case for everyone in academia, not even the vast majority. It's not even the case for all academic institutions. I know of many very conservative academic institutions, and have actually worked at a couple. The case can also extend to private schools at the elementary and secondary levels. Do educators in those settings have a unique position and a captive audience? Maybe so, but not any more so than preachers who also have a captive audience and a unique position in our society. Can people pick a different church? Sure. People can also pick a different school.

The bigger (and less candid) goal appears to be undermining people within academia so that whenever they say something, regardless of what they say, it doesn't even need to be addressed. If you can make someone appear to have no credibility, you can ignore what they say, even if (when) it is completely true and based off sound knowledge of existing facts and legitimate research meant to expand the knowledge base. This debating fallacy is a way of avoiding actually having to address those facts.

Schools have always harbored an element of indoctrination, a very necessary element. Children must be taught cultural values, to be good citizens. It doesn't come naturally. However, there is indoctrination and then there is INDOCTRINATION. Progressive, liberal, and conservative values are not necessary elements of good citizenship. They are personal choices. A child's exposure to cultural values, good citizenship, is virtually limited to the home until they venture forth to school. Generally, challenges to the values that they learned at home didn't occur until they reached the higher grades or college, when they they were naturally prone to rebel. However, seeing those challenges occurring in elementary classrooms is reprehensible. This teacher and others like her need to be removed from classrooms.

From what I've seen out of these internet "schools" it is scary. People get lies from partisans and bring it here as fact.
