Answer 1

Definitely YES..........I saw this with my own kids going through the public school system. Actually it is quite sickening. It is my reason for saying our Government is "dumbing down" our citizens. In schools, they tend to only show what the teachers believe.........they do NOT show all sides of the issue. This in itself is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. They are in fact indoctrinating our kids to all think alike, and in doing so will create the total nanny state. WAKE UP AMERICA

Answer 2

you must live under a rock...



-global warming is happening, come here to canada, and i'll show you...

-war is bad, how is killing people NOT bad?

-students should have the right to protest, its called freedom of speech.

-america isn't entirely racist, but the school teach kids not to be racist...

-police are sometimes brutal...not always, i've met some nice cops, but i've seen or heard stories of police brutality and them using their higher power to take advantage of regular people.

-the environment isn't in danger when you drill for oil or mine for coal..its only in danger when you actually burn it and let the green house gases into the air, ask any scientist and he or she will tell you

-marijuana isn't harmless, schools teach kids about the dangers of drugs. but its less harmless than nicotine.

-homosexuality is normal. if god didn't want them to be homosexual, why would he make them homosexual?

-children shouldn't be spanked, there are other methods of punishment that are better than hurting the ones you love



i'm catholic, i believe in jesus and God, but you have to realise that people have different opinions on things. if you really want to fully understand things, you have to look at things from all perspectives. not everyone shares the same values as you or the average catholic. so laws can't be based on catholic belief. you have to think about whats for the common good of people.

Answer 3

everyone has their own perspectives on certain situations, at times some may agree with you and at other times some may disagree, half the things you said i agree with and the other half i think our just plain stupid, i am a canadian and yet i dont think america is a racist nation (america isnt made up of just racist people it has other ppl there too u know), "Atheism is a more reasonable belief than religion" that is brutal becasue u have no right to pick on a topic of belief that is important to ppl...the media may influence w.e. but the actual descion comes down to the person hearing all this stuff, they decide to believe it or not

Answer 4

affirmation bias is recurring characteristic of an untrained ideas, the concern is compounded by way of the undeniable fact that a very good sort of falsehood has crept into Islam by way of fake and fabricated comments wrongly ascribed to the Prophet Pbuh and declared Sahih. as a result the ensuing shaky base wisdom contributes in direction of fixation on the falsehood or quite much less important component of Deen.

Answer 5

I am 64 and believe me, you're right. I saw things going south at age 14 (1959) and decided to not have children. You left one off though, that it's OK to get pregnant at 12-14. I learned to read at age 5 and I'm no genius. Who would ever thought they would have daycare in high schools??

Answer 6

All false. Liberals have never been known as people of common sense. They believe that they can create a utopia where all they have to do is outlaw guns, then the criminals would magically quit killing people.

Answer 7
