@SezSimon42 When your kids come home and say the teacher told them something you don't agree with, say so! YOU'RE the parent. If my child told me the teacher told her the US is inherently evil, I'd make it VERY clear that that isn't true. Has America done evil things, such as slavery?

I'm centrist and lean libertarian in
