Schools Teach Anti-American Views

A story on The Blaze, describes why American students hate capitalism and the American form of government. Anyone who has been through the public schools or to college in the past 25-30 years knows how liberal the system is. For any student going through this line of liberal progressive learning, it is no wonder by the time they are about to graduate college, their views and knowledge of America are skewed.

The biggest disappointment in what students are learning about capitalism and history is, it is being presented to them as fact. Many teachers or professors allow students to truly research and argue an opposing view. If the student does argue an opposing view, most educators will grade them down or tell them they are wrong. To say this does not happen is wrong, and it happens more often than one may think.

Students are constantly hearing how bad America is, and what America has done wrong. Meanwhile, they learn how wonderful Marx, communism, and socialism are, but how bad America's Founding Father's and capitalism is. They also learn lies about the U.S. Constitution, such as "separation of church and state" is in there, and honestly, there are not many teachers who truly teach what's in the constitution and the documents and people that inspired it. On top of all this, students are taught that America is a white man's world (which is absolutely ridiculous seeing as how the country now has a black President and numerous leaders who are considered minorities, and there were black senators and congressmen in the 19th century that are never taught of).

American educators and the education system is doing an injustice to students and themselves. The truth is only half taught and bias. Students are not learning about the documents, people, and why America is still considered a country in which many want to live. Which is great for the education system which says they want students to develop their own views, but in reality the school system makes students and teachers focus on what they want taught by way of mandatory tests.

Over the years, it has become painfully obvious that the education system is more in line with liberal government than with teaching truth. The sad thing is, students are being done an injustice. They leave high school and college with such misconstrued views of America, that they believe the only way for America to be fixed is by creating a system that is somewhere between socialism and communism. The worse part is, many students just accept what is taught as fact, much like adults who accept the news or what is told as fact without actually looking into it.
