That I was a republican. The teacher gave out this political alignment quiz that was incredibly biased asking things like "do you like lower taxes or higher taxes?" and "do you like more freedom or less freedom?" All the questions basically lead you to the same answers. So the entire class basically had the same result.
This was in middle school so I wasn't even politically engaged yet. I didn't realize how crazy this was until years later.
the quiz:
That's funny. I had a teacher do something like this but in the other direction. All the questions had answers that pretty much forced you right into the blue. Shit like "do you think homeless people should be given assistance or should homeless people be shot and dumped into the sea?" Or "I think everyone deserves to find love vs gay people are the spawn of Satan".
It is worth noting that I went to a very left leaning and notoriously "hippy" private school (against my will). I eventually managed to get expelled for smoking weed and not snitching on all my friends.
I don't think teachers really should be pushing their political or religious agendas no matter what. School is for learning core basics in various categories.
Ironically, I have read that there was a study that found that the most gullible kids in elementary school grow up to be republican. I'm not kidding.
I don’t think that would surprise anyone. The GOP has been a giant grift since at least Reagan. A loooot of people out there can’t tell when they’re getting scammed.
It’s one reason why educated voters tend to be further left on the political spectrum.
I hated this so much in high school.
