yeah, they really freaked out when I wrote a paper that pointed out one of the positive outcomes of the Spanish conquest of the Aztecs was an end of human sacrifice as spiritual practice. It's tough to let go of taking a bite out of a beating human heart, burying infants in a cave so the screams can be heard for days and filleting a human being and wearing the skin.

I went too far and hyper-personalized things in my last two posts, and for that I apologize. I'll leave them here, awaiting whatever infliction of ban hammering the mods may choose.

It is wise for every human being to be skeptical of an industry where several whistleblowers have emerged claiming their employer falsified data and spiked blood samples with rabbit antibodies in order to meet the efficacy threshold to maintain their monopoly.

Of course you can't recall your post where you spewed venomous drivel about people who don't buy the mainstream narrative. It was on par with Obama labeling the NRA "terrorists".

[Old_Bald_Guy]

Did POTUS call NRA a terrorist organization? I missed that. A link would be helpful.

Hmmmm

And as far as venomous, all I can recall saying (and I doubt I redacted it) is that Ted Nugent is an admitted child molester and $#it eating draft dodger (he literally ate feces, at least he has claimed he did). Those things are true, regardless of how venomous it may sound.

I'm puzzled by all the name calling and "only hope" ban talk. The same who piss and moan about our voices not being heard wish to squelch a differing opinion. Even just the question of the validity of a statement is worthy of ridicule. Seriously people. Grow a set!

You are playing semantics here. He certainly blamed the NRA for the carnage by lunatics. It's just a matter of how he phrases the chain of responsibility.

The anti-vaccinationism thing is a cult of scientifically illiterate buffoons.

Some of them might be just scientifically illiterate, but for some it might be a matter of personal freedom. Have you ever taken a rabies vaccine? If someone tried to force it on you, would you just take it?

Disclosure: my kids are vaccinated and I wouldn't think about not doing it, but it's a matter of choice to make *my kids* immune, not to satisfy some collectivist desire for herd immunity - I don't have a dog in the fight whether some other kid gets polio or not.

In that example, I'll grant you that point. I think many people overestimate the degree to which every single detail of the state frameworks are incorporated into actual instruction, and how much stock many teachers place in it, but yes, that example does demonstrate a bias.

Your (sic) missing a bigger picture (see, addressing you're (sic) multiple posts ).

Teachers are naturally collectivists due to the mechanism of their funding - it comes from the forced extraction from the society. They see society in a very similar way the politicians do - plebs at the bottom, masses in the middle, a few immoral industrialists at the top and political/educational elites who are providing moral and ethical compass the way church used to centuries ago.

Disclosure: I have unbroken line of this type of thinking in my family going back to the 19th century.

First of all, it's kind of funny watching people on my ignore list yell at each other.

Secondly, leftists believe they are being honest when they say they are not biased, because they believe their ideology is just common sense and not ideological.

That is, of course, the same as everyone else, except everyone else *KNOWS IT*.

The left is unique (in our society, anyway) in its ability to deny its own agenda while continuing to enact it.

Yes, schools routinely indoctrinate children, but your average administrator or teacher doesn't believe it's indoctrination, it's just the "news" they read at HuffPo or watch on MSNBC (or more likely the Comedy Channel).

Rather amusingly they refer to themselves as "the reality-based community" as they cling to the most-failed economic theories in history, or assert in all seriousness that farting too loudly is part of rape culture.

It is *trivially* easy, when you're on the left, to isolate yourself from contrary opinions. It is *much* harder on the right, which is why we can deconstruct this relatively easily and liberals angrily deny the very existence of processes they actively engage in.

It's only when your life experience is more varied than that, that you don't think of this as "common sense."

From the outside, it's comical, like someone digging a hole and shouting that they are climbing a ladder.

After I retired from the SHeriff's Office I went back to college to finish my degree and get my History teaching credential. (3 1/2 years worth!).

I was teaching at a high school in Nor-Cal. I was told I could not wear my NRA baseball cap, because it glorified violence! Though it was not a large school, I was the only staff member that had served in the military, hunted for meat, or even owned a firearm! Educational institutions are a cesspool of liberal, revisionist History.

You would not believe one History text book we used. It had more about Hippees and Haight Ashbury than the American Civil war. Also on the chapters on WWII, it did not have a single picture of a soldier with a firearm! They even airbrushed the firearms from the backs of the Marines in the Rosenthal photo of the Marines raising the flag on Iwo Jima. How dare them dishonor our fighting men by pansie-fying them. My father fought on Iwo Jima. He would have puked if he saw that picture.

Name of district? (I only feel comfortable asking because your use of the past tense seems to indicate you no longer work there.) I'm curious because I know that wouldn't happen at my school.

Name of textbook? That's not something I've seen before. If true, and I have no reason to doubt your recollections other than my usual skepticism about virtually everything, it would be unconscionable. In terms of revisionist history, it cuts both ways. Revisions are also attempted through the exclusion of important events, and one example that stands out is the Tulsa massacre of 1921. It's my understanding that there are history textbooks with all kinds of stuff on the Watts riots, for example, and no mention at all of Tulsa. History isn't my area, and I can't confirm this specifically (something else I need to check on).

I'd love to see an educator bring up the Battle of Athens... or for that matter- a kid to ask their teacher about it!

That's the most ridiculous generalization yet, but at least your your-you're score is high.

Farting loudly, "rape culture." Where the he|| do yo get this silly tripe? By all means, though, keep it coming.
