That's fine. But the question was asked as to why some oppose greater control from Washington, the answer was given, and someone chose to debate it. He's now "liked" your post, so I take it that debate is over. Fine.
I understand completely that the left doesn't buy into the educational establishment leaning left. To you guys, the left is really the middle, so you don't see an issue. But we do, and that's why we oppose it.
Huh? I responded at length to you. Me "liking" someone's post after the fact doesn't mean I'm not willing to discuss further.
Regarding the second part of this post, I have no problem admitting I generally lean left, particularly socially. I'm not a radical, and I don't really identify with the 'liberal' identity or the Democratic party, but sure, I lean left and a lot of educators generally do given the nature of the position and field.
That, however, doesn't mean I'm pushing my ideas onto kids, which you have insinuated a few times not with me personally, but with education in general.
Phrases like, "you guys," and, "we," create an unnecessary divide and set of generalizations that insult our professionalism.
