First wanted to explain how the debate will be 1st round premisses, 2nd round one makes 1 question pro 3rd round one answers the other's question, 4th round refute the other's answer, 5th round final considerations. My arguments are as follows: The school should not have political influence, Because the role of the School is to teach the curricular subjects, But not to educate politically.
Happy to think with you today. Schools necessarily politically influence people. Facts, Learning how to compile and interpret data, Et cetera lead one down certain political roads. If one takes a statistics class and learns how to interpret statistics, What constitutes well put together data and what factors to look for when it comes to accuracy of data, One will immediately be able to throw out many of the statistics that people use that are inaccurate, Poorly interpreted, Et cetera. On certain issues, The stats people bring up are quite false. One immediately is less likely to side with people using poor statistics to 'prove' their side is 'correct. ' If one takes certain science classes, There will (should) be little room to doubt that climate change is occurring, Whether or not man has a significant impact on it. One is immediately less likely to be on the side of any political figure who denies this. The vast majority of classes you may take may influence you politically. The simple act of becoming educated, Literate, Et cetera will have you in favor of certain political problems, Particularly the more educated one becomes, And the better your credentials become. It's little wonder that the majority of college graduates tend to gravitate towards one party and not the other. So before you continue, You need to tell me in what way you think schools politically influence kids that they should not. May your thoughts be clear, -Thoht |

Assuming truth based on the facts? What on earth do you do if not this?
I assume things are true based on facts until other facts say otherwise. It's called confidence intervals.
There's nothing scientifically wrong about being against free speech or the US constitution. Nothing supports denying that the climate is changing.
Some 99% of people who make it through high school probably don't even know the difference between climate and weather.
Explain to me how one teaches history without politically influencing people.
How do you teach stats without politically influencing people?
How do you teach science without politically influencing people?
There aren't multiple versions of stats. Most of what you need to know for stats you can cover in 1 or 2 semesters in high school. It really isn't so difficult.
There aren't two branches of science. Currently we have 1 political party who denies the conclusion of 100% of climate scientists and downplays the consensus of 98% of climate scientists. How do you think you can teach a class on this and not politically influence people? The students inevitably see one side as bats*** crazy and the other as having an appropriate amount of concern over the issue.
You're going off on tangents with history, Free speech, Economic systems, Et cetera, But at the same time you're agreeing that these classes will politically influence, Which is the whole debate.
So until you can tell me how one teaches stats, Science, And history without politically influencing people you can't really disagree with my side of this debate.
