I think many schools are left leaning. Two effects of that are tolerance and inclusion, which I am certainly in favor of even if I don't like every liberal policy.

They're left leaning in the sense that education as a whole is 'left leaning'. It's why the right fucking haaate people getting an education, because it helps you see through obviously bullshit

Let’s say there’s a spectrum, left to center to right, and there are a hundred political positions evenly distributed between the center and each extreme. I’m willing to accept that schools are 10 places over to the left, because “treat all people equitably” is both a left value and a necessary part of living in a free society. But this response is to pick a position maybe seventy slots over onn the right, and pretend that’s equivalent to the “left propaganda” of “Billy has two mommies, and that’s ok.”
