I've never claimed that all teachers are perfect and unbaised. Teachers are human. And you CANNOT teach without some sort of bias. This nonsense about "when I was young we just got the three r's..." is a load. You were getting plenty of bias, you just didn't realize it, or it agreed with your (or more accurately, your parent's) world view.

Most teachers do a very good job of staying balanced. Some don't. But it is unfair to hold up the exceptions and denigrate the entire system. And frankly, if more parents did a better job of parenting, the schools wouldn't need to teach some of the stuff they do (like sex ed). But parents don't. So the schools have little choice but to take up the slack. To ignore the issue is worse imho.

And in the end, I'd rather my son be exposed to different viewpoints than he gets at home. I don't want a clone of myself. I want a thinking individual.
