I had teachers do this to me when I was a youth... At the time I was a musician and was left leaning. That was back in the 60's, so the game is the same, just the sides have shifted. Now it is politically correct to be a leftist if you are in education. This is no shock as the left supports the unions and the teachers union is indebted to the left. While I know it's a hard thing for a young person to accept, sometimes it's better to tell educators what they want you to think, rather than what you really do think. Leave the major debates to those who don't get a grade for their disagreement with the ideas of the teacher. (Or professor. I had some real nut job professors)
This isnt the only incident either. For me I remember in highschool I had atleast 2-3 teachers cram their political views down your throat. Some of my teachers were obnoxious about it it left a bad taste in my mouth about liberals.

I guess in high school and college I had the only conservative professors to ever exist. What are the odds...
Right, a random teacher in Wisconsin represents all liberals.
I'll be right back, I'm going to find an example of a racist conservative so I can paint all conservatives as racist.
I am anything but a liberal, but I have to agree with you: one of anything or even a handful of anything does not represent an entire group. I am getting a little tired, regardless of what side someone is on, seeing all these people who do think a few incedences speak for an entire party of group.
I'm still pretty sure this kid is a liar. I'd like to hear from someone else at this school. And if all of this stuff did happen, then there should be consequences for sure. But it doesn't mean all liberals, or all liberal teachers for that matter, are doing this stuff.
The only instance of a teacher getting political that I can remember was back in '08 when I had a history teacher go on and on about how bad Obama was going to be. I know it's anecdotal, so I wouldn't expect you to take much from that, but I don't take much from this kid's anecdote either.
If you honestly think everything in that blog is a lie you are a moron. Why would a 15 year old go and make all this up? BTW of all teachers that shoved their political views down my throat they were all liberals

My high school teachers were conservatives, but at the time I was kinda left. When I came back from my south east asian vacation and went to college, I had shifted right but the professors I had were far leftist... Talk about being confussed.... LOL........

There is probably some truth to it, but exaggeration? I would wager a lot of it. And I'm sorry to hear about your bad teachers.
Complete deflection. The fact that adults lie has nothing to do with whether this kid is lying. Try again.
No deflection just playing your game...you think all teens lie I say I don't trust indoctrinated adults more.

Take all the time you need.
I would trust a kid any day...I trust my kids word over some adult I don't know...Kids usually don't have an ulterior motive.
