The Right take on higher education.

Not just teacher ed


I agree with John below on teacher ed, but my point is that even when American government and civic principles are taught, they are being taught wrongly. A lot of people feel good when they hear about civics education, glad that something is being taught, but they don’t realize that in these very civics courses, misinformation, distorted views, and ideas contrary to American principles are often being promulgated, underwritten in some cases by our own government. Something similar would apply to teachers who take liberal-arts degrees rather than education degrees. Yes, it might represent some improvement, but the liberal arts have also undergone radicalization through multiculturalist and other forms of leftwing and quasi-Marxist deformation.
