Quote:
One would think teachers would be speaking up about what they contend with every day in terms of the cultural nonsense that controls the mindsets of their students and prevents actual education from displacing media mind control.
In my former career as a teacher, it was more evident than the noses on my students' faces that their minds were not their own - from their pretend self-images to their consumerized and peer-pressured shallow rebel personalities.

Teachers are in an uncomfortable position of being able to only challenge their students so much in the face of school boards, state education regulation committees, and, of course, high stakes tests that dictate curriculum. Curriculum activism worries me also though, standards seem to have their place (I'm reminded of my high school teacher years ago that told me that a gay pride parade was filled with disgusting, horrible acts and people and everyone around me was nodding their heads like it was a fact)... In any event, education is a profession of conflict if done it right.
