College Board won’t alter AP psychology, other courses to appease Florida

Please show where I said that. Specifically I thought this was about AP psych.

 

Anyone who defies DeSantis must be punished so it's a good bet that's how it's going to go.

 

Yes AP psych would have been a class my kid could have potentially taken. You send your kids to religious school but still want to restrict what my kids choices are in public school (if I lived in FL which I don’t )

 

Ok so what it said is while teachers across the country on the average lean slightly liberal, most have similar beliefs to college educated people in the communities in which they reside.

This means that they are not the crazies you have imagined in your head. You may want to stop ONLY listening to that crud that is being shoveled into your brain by right leaning sources.

 

I know you’re supposed to argue and disagree with me but…what the hell?
I never said I sent my children to religious school. See post 36.

 

In the interim maybe it’s best for the US that Floridians suffer for its election of Desantis in case he is the Republican nominee, all the more fodder to prove to suburban swing voters that DeSantis isn’t good for your kids educational prospects.

 

Sorry misread that post. But the point is you still want to control the curriculum choices of my kids. Gender and other issues are part of psychology. If you think your kids will be threatened and perverted by such subjects then don’t let them enroll in classes of that subject.

 

It is sad though that a teacher made fun of your kid. I don't care what the topic was - if I felt like a teacher did something inappropriate with my kid I'd raise hell. But I think you are perhaps making a mistake lumping in a bunch of other teachers with one bad egg.

There are plenty of bad teachers - all over the place, I don't really think politics has much to do with it most of the time.

 

No sources from the net. I am using my real life experiences.

 

I do not want to control AP courses. I simply said that for me the problem is liberal leaning teachers.

 

yeah… then we get to say you’re obviously biased. That’s how that works. Anecdotes are not evidence it’s just confirmation bias.

 

I can’t use con sources and I can’t use my own experience. Guess I’ll just have to trust the libbies on this.

 

Can you guarantee that any teacher, whether liberal or conservative, will not deviate on subject matter in any level of class? It doesn’t have to be AP level for that to happen. I know for sure I had both kinds of teachers in school and it didn’t really affect me. Wasn’t brainwashed.

 

Sure about not being brainwashed?
You did marry a conservative so maybe you’re alright.

 

I just posted from a conservative source. The heritage foundation is a conservative think tank. Just use better sources.

 

Ooohhhh. Use whatever source matches your thinking.
Got it.

 

My wife isn’t a conservative.

 

Oops. I guess you were brainwashed after all.

 

That’s kind of life experience. You get exposed to a diversity of views. I’ve told this before - in 8th grade I took an ecology elective science course and one of the assignments was to explore whether all cars should be banned to help the environment. This was late 70s. While I did have some sympathy for environmental causes (why I took the course ) I didn’t become indoctrinated into the views of deindustrialization. In fact I recall talking with others that it was a ridiculous assignment.

So in 8th grade I already had the ability to think for myself. That is kind of the point of education. The problem I see with so many people these days in political issues is the inability to think for themselves.

 

The great thing is that in the U.S. there are systems of recourse for improper teaching. I hope that if your child was treated improperly that you took advantage of the opportunity for recourse and did so in an appropriate manner.
