I want my kids educated, not indoctrinated. I want them challenged to look at the opposing side of an issue.
I'm not worried about my kids. We talk about the days events at the dinner table. I'm fairly confident my seventh grader is the only one in his class who knows who Van Jones is or what eco-apartheid is.
Homeschooling is looking more and more appealing.

No, I still have a 10 year old in the school system. I haven't noticed a trend of teachers being 'uber liberal.' I have noticed a passionate dislike of the 'no child left behind' policy. I have noticed that conservative think is often opposed to the funding of public education. Therefore, I think it's only natural for teachers to be opposed to conservative views on it which is, essentially, tear it down and make education a product of the 'free market.' But not once have I seen or heard a political argument being made in my child's classroom, and believe me, my daughter would come home and tell me if she did. Like you, I talk openly about my own views to my children.
No wait, I take that back, when my oldest daughters were in high school in Louisiana, Christianity and the politics of George Bush were praised and endorsed by their teachers quite regularly, quite openly.
