Left Wing Education
Indoctrination in social studies classes
Let’s look at a few examples of indoctrination in our public schools. If you listened to my podcast on socialism, you heard me discuss the following about the US history textbook I was assigned to use with my students. I noted that no mention was ever made of the party that freed the slaves. That would be the Republican party. No mention was ever made of the first African Americans to serve in the US Congress. You see, they were all Republicans. No mention was made that the party that created the Ku Klux Klan was the Democrat party. No mention was ever made of the Jim Crow laws being the invention of Democrats. No mention was ever made of the eugenics movement in America by progressives. So, it’s obvious a leftist slant is inevitable in most history textbooks today. When students hear from the “drive by” news that Republicans are racists and Nazis, they assume it’s true. You see, they have no prior facts of history to dispute such a notion.
Let’s consider the case of a new Advanced Placement American History textbook entitled By the People: A History of the United States. The publisher is Pearson Education. I’m not sure we would actually know what’s in this textbook if it hadn’t been for Tarra Snyder, a student at Rosemount High School in Minnesota. You see she took a look at the sample copy her history teacher received from Pearson Publishing and was astonished. And, being a young person in the 21st century, she pulled out her phone and took a picture of several pages which she shared on social media.
Here’s an example of the propaganda in the textbook under a section entitled “The Angry Election of 2016.” This particular section of the textbook was written by New York University Professor James W. Fraser. It begins like this, “Clinton’s supporters feared that the election had been determined by people who were afraid of the rapidly developing ethnic diversity of the country. They also worried about the mental instability of the president-elect and the anger that he and his supporters brought to the nation.”
I just have to stop there and say, Are you FREAKING kidding me? It’s the left, with its inability to process the fact that Hillary Clinton lost the Presidency, that protests and incites violence against Trump supporters or any MAGA hat wearing individual. The anger isn’t coming from people on the right. Let’s listen to Tarra, who is being interviewed by the Fox and Friends team, explain what happened regarding the liberal textbook.
Islamic Indoctrination
So that particular textbook was designed for advanced placement students who are generally very bright and inquisitive. What about the main population of students in American public schools? What kind of indoctrination is taking place there with students that are less informed and more gullible? Well, one area of inculcation can be found in the study of different cultures and religions, mainly the study of Islam. Once again, this is an area I have first hand knowledge of. Islamic indoctrination is being taught in a course called World Cultures.
We used to teach world history, but now the progressives have had their way and world cultures is the vehicle under which students are taught that “all cultures are equal.” What? You mean the American culture is the same as a culture which chops off hands of those who steal? Is it the same as a culture that throws homosexuals off buildings to their deaths? Is it the same as a culture whose women must cover themselves from head-to-toe or risk beatings? Is it the same as a culture that beheads infidels? These seem like vastly different cultures to me, and they are definitely not equal.

These seem like vastly different cultures to me, and they are definitely not equal.
In addition, the activities students are required to do regarding the study of Islam are pure indoctrination. Think about this. In 2018, a West Virginia 7th grader brought home a packet of assignments including writing the following in calligraphy style: “There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.” This statement is actually the Islamic conversion creed. Creepy anyone? Here’s another activity included in the packet. Students were asked to “fast for 24 hours and give lunch money to a food bank to sympathize with Muslims going through Ramadan.” In addition, students had to read chapters from the Quran and learn the Five Pillars of Islam.
Indoctrination in science classes
So, we know social studies textbooks are slanted to the left and include clear evidence of propaganda, but what about science curricula? Anybody remember Al Gore’s movie An Inconvenient Truth? It premiered at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival and became a commercial success. In fact, it was so successful that it won two Academy Awards for best documentary feature and best original song. And, it made the former Vice President a millionaire. It also became must-watch viewing in science classes throughout the world.
Then, someone in the UK actually questioned the validity of some “facts” in the movie. Mr. Justice Burton, a High Court judge in Britain ruled that there were at least nine errors in the film and it could be shown in schools as long as it was accompanied by material giving the other side of the argument. Good for the UK! You see in the UK it’s against the law to discuss issues that are one-sided in schools. You must present all sides of an issue in accordance with sections 406 and 407 of the 1996 Education Act. Don’t you wish we had a similar law in the US?
US science textbooks only provide one side of the climate change debate, unfortunately. Last year I subbed in a 4th grade teacher’s classroom. For the science portion of the day, I was to read the section on global warming with students and have them complete a worksheet based on the section read. The teacher warned me about a new student she had whom she described as surly and argumentative. She said he would try to argue with me about the reality of global warming, and she further told me to “just shut him down.”
Does this sound like teaching to you? What would be wrong with listening to the student’s viewpoint? Why not have students do some research on both sides and then have an informed discussion and debate? My personal belief is that left wing teachers really do consider anyone who doesn’t believe in man made global warming to be climate deniers. And, since environmentalism is a type of religion to many of these lefties, to hear the other side of the argument is akin to heresy and must be halted.
Indoctrination in sex ed classes
Think indoctrination is only taking place in social studies and science classrooms? Very Unlikely. How about sex ed classes? Did you know that Planned Parenthood teaches sex education to approximately 220,000 students in 31 states? Here are some of the highlights of their education program. One of their videos is entitled “How Do You Know if Someone wants to Have Sex with You?” The video shows couples, both gay and straight, kissing passionately, some nude and in bed. Life News reports that “In one clip, a man is shown fondling a woman’s breast as the narrator talks about consent.” This is being shown in a classroom? Are you okay with this?
For middle school students, Planned Parenthood has a sex ed curriculum that teaches them how to perform oral and anal sex. This is beyond stunning!
Did you know that in 2014 an undercover video by a group called Live Action was released showing Planned Parenthood employees encouraging teens to participate in “sadomasochistic sexual activities like gagging, whipping, asphyxiation, shopping at sex stores and viewing pornography.”
Planned Parenthood also has a booklet for teens called “Healthy, Happy and Hot.” The booklet tells students it’s their right NOT to tell their partners that they have HIV. Since when is this okay? And, on its Tumbler page Planned Parenthood tells teens, “There’s nothing bad or unhealthy about having a big number of sexual partners.” Promiscuity anyone? STDs anyone? Pregnancy anyone?
Thank goodness President Trump’s administration cut taxpayer funding to one of Planned Parenthood’s sex education programs and shifted the funds to abstinence programs. Naturally, Planned Parenthood sued to block the cuts. In fact, in Spokane, near where I live, a federal judge issued a permanent injunction preventing the Trump administration from “cutting grants to Planned Parenthood that pay for a teen pregnancy prevention program in Western states.” I’m not sure this judge even knows what’s being taught to students under the guise of “sex education.”

80% of Britain’s university lecturers are left-wing, says think tank
As pointed out in previous articles, the drift in students thinking from patriotism to liberal/Marxism began with the Frankfurt School in twenties Germany. From its start the founders were all purveyors of Marxism – and at that time mostly Jewish. The long term objective was to dominate the teaching profession throughout Europe and the Western World so that college and university pupils would eventually only be able to receive multicultural liberal beliefs and those of its pacemaker, Marxism. This objective has virtually been reached today in Britain and most of the West – i.e. the White World – as a result of the early Frankfurt School’s achievement of “the long march through the institutions”.
A recent report (Lackademia) from the Adam Smith Institute confirmed that eight in 10 university lecturers are Left-wing, which creates a danger in the institutions of “groupthink” where dissenting opinions are neutralised and “favoured beliefs are are held as sacrosanct”. The report recommended that universities should address ideological diversity among their staff in the same way that they seek to increase gender, class and racial diversity.
Some Evidence
In order to show how effective the Far-left has become in installing the superiority of its thinking in our colleges and universities let us look at some of the evidence.
In February Sussex University was accused of undermining free speech after one of its leading professors held a workshop for academic staff of “how to deal with Right-wing attitudes in the class room”.
Last month the radical magazine “Spiked” published a survey that found 90 per cent of British universities have been involved in restricting free speech on campus. It concluded that more than 60 per cent of universities now “severely restrict” free speech and actively censor certain ideas, speakers and texts.
Much has been said in the media about the antics of many students (white as well as black) in demanding the destruction of the statue in Oxford of Cecil Rhodes. I like Charles Moore’s comment on this in the Daily Telegraph, March 4th: “Like some satirist’s parody of a PC opportunist, Professor Richard Drayton delivers bloodcurling denunciations of the Cecil Rhodes statue because it ‘symbolises white domination’, while at the same time accepting his post and salary as Rhodes Professor of Imperial History at King’s College, London.
Again last month we were treated to nonsense from the politically correct at Cambridge University when students had complained about being served “Jamaican stew” and “Tunisian rice” claiming that the cultures were being “misrepresented”.
There is also a growing likeness for the choice of “gender-neutral” terms. This means banning phrases such as “right-hand man” and “gentleman’s agreement”. Cardiff Metropolitan University’s guidance dictates that students should not allow their “cultural background” to affect their choice of words. Terms such as “forefathers”, “mankind” and “sportsmanship” should be avoided, as part of efforts to “embrace cultural diversity” through language.
An example of the campaign to smear British engineers and inventors from our not too distant past came from the utterances of a leftist immigrant origin MP with the backing of a University lecturer.
It came to a head when a new luxury apartment block in Wandsworth, South London, was named after Sir Alliott Verdon Roe. He was the first Englishman to make a successful powered flight in Britain. He built his first biplane in a stable at Wandsworth, where the new apartments now stand. Later he founded A.V.Roe Aircraft Company, which then became Avro, the company that designed and built the Lancaster bomber that played no small part in achieving our survival in World War II. Two of Verdon Roe’s sons were killed in action in the war while serving in the RAF.
But all this contribution to the survival of our nation is dismissed by unspeakable leftists of today. Why? Verdon Roe shared some of the views of a First War I one-time flyer, Sir Oswald Mosley, and Verdon Roe became a member of his British Union of Fascists in 1934.
All this is not to the liking of Tooting MP Rosena Aclin-Khan who has asked for the Wandsworth apartment block to be renamed. She said: “In Wandsworth we pride ourselves on having a cohesive community where everyone is welcome. It would send the wrong message at a time when hate crimes have risen.”
Dr Steven Woodridge, Senior Lecturer in history at Kingston University quickly gave her his full support: “Even during the Second World War he was contributing articles to the publications of extreme Right parties.” Name these publications, you loathsome Marxist creep, they probably did not exist in those war years. Perhaps you are after a knighthood.
