Both sides of education

Why can't teachers teach both sides of a point of view? Instead of having just a solar panel manufacturer come and talk to kids about "green living" why can't they invite the power company also?

What is with the one sided point of views?

Should we tolerate a bit of one sided opinion in the classroom since there is only one teacher with one opinion? Or should we stand up and say "hold on here!" these are not my beliefs! We do not teach just one side to our children. We tell them the facts and let them decide if they think we are right or wrong. That is the beauty of being human. You have a mind and can use it to understand how you feel about issues.

Most will argue that parents push their point of views on children all the time. Even if this is true, they are our children and we have a right to raise them as we see fit. Not by how some liberal minded, government will get you out of everything, teacher thinks.

No wonder there has been a record numbers of moms and dads out there choosing to home school their children.
