How many of you hated school just because of the progressives

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - How many of you hated school just because of the progressives

I actually like learning, yet I hate have to go to school because where I live (Nassau county, NY) is full of progressives. Its not even the fact that they are liberals its the fact that you cannot disagree, you must obey, and that they are ALWAYS right. Its also not just the teachers, my class mates are the exact same, they pretty much lick the teachers boots when it comes to their ideas, like how Castro, Mao, and Hugo Chavez are GODS. This right after I have class with one of the teachers I do like. She was born and raised in the USSR, and left as soon as she could in the late 80s. She has told me of what she went through, and her family did (Here family survived the famines in Ukraine).

While the three teachers I do like aren't progressives (A libertarian, a Constitutionalist, and a conservative), they don't try to shove down political/idealogical doctrine down my throat every three seconds. I am actually looking forward to collage because while the teachers may still be liberal, at least I will have a lot more say/freedom in what I can do on campus (chose classes, be politically active, etc.)

I went to the Naval Academy back in the 80's.

The only progressives there were some of the instructors and maybe three Midshipmen.

Look at me, I'm in school to become a teacher.

I had a desire to teach but all this progressive teaching in the classes and the methods that they want us to use are keeping me out of the field.

"progressive" == socialist but you probably knew that already.

Good Lord above I hate that term 'progressive'. Communism is not progress. I call those people regressives. Or just plain leftists.

I went to an engineering school to get an engineering degree (and a math degree as well), so frankly I was too busy to worry about politics, as were my professors.

If you're talking about politics a lot in class, you're probably in the sort of degree program that requires it.

Edit: Ah, sounds like you're talking about high school. Well, I went to high school in TX, so, no. Sounds more like a non-free state problem.

Oh, there were more than three. There were two on my boats alone in '85-'89 - "Skippy G" and the "Eng". I wish I could remember the Engineer's name - we called him the Dog Faced Boy. The Eng was a flaming East Coast liberal from Mass.

Fuck commies. I verbally bitch slapped a professor and several fellow students during my pro second amendment speech all those years ago. Cocksucking cunt professor and pussy fellow students trying to tell me that the second amendment was a right of the govt and not the people. I would have loved to see their faces when the scotus ruled I was right TWICE!!!

I wasn't all that politically aware up until college, but in HS I knew what I saw and I didn't like it.

High school wasn't very political at all when I was there (1989-1992) except for Mrs. McCutcheon.

My favorite teacher was a progressive history teacher, I took her US history and government classes for 3 years so by the time I left high school I completely understood the progressive perspective of things. She was actually the best teacher in high school, I discovered her classes were just like college courses when I got to college.

Progressive = communist. They are making progress to communism. Socialism is a stop on the rail line.

Private school. That, or start your own.

If you want to make a collage, you should attend some art classes as well.

I went to the University of Texas and not only were my proffesors liberal, but they were left of liberal. One of my historhy teachers said that Stalin was great and apologized for his mass murder.
