Thanks for this "INTEL" because it does my heart good to hear this. In fact I'm very surprised. To be fair..if those kids felt like they needed to be "Pro Trump" in order to get a good grade from you..well you know how the rest of that goes.

Secret ballot.

If I were a teacher and my class voted 17-7 for Trump in a secret ballot, I'd flunk the whole group. The 7 who voted Hillary would just be collateral damage. <<< OK, I hope you realize I'm making a (probably really bad) joke. But I'd like to argue that there are a lot of teachers who do NOT indoctrinate, but it seems that a lot of the posters here are assuming that if someone is a "liberal" teacher, he or she is going to try to turn the kids into a bunch of lefties. Seriously, what percentage of teachers do you think do this? (And by the way, IMO even ONE person doing it is too many.)

I don't doubt that the political left is overrepresented in the teaching profession, compared to the general population. But I am pretty sure that most teachers are as fair as they can be, just like most human beings are. Most people take professional responsibilities pretty seriously.

World baseball classic which was to be played almost a YEAR from now is cancelled. Now that I think of it the should cancel all sports for at least the next Five years, you know just to super duper extra safe. Get the risk of someone getting affected down to one in a trillion.

Yes! Just an awesome baseball Junket that Spring. Great times that I will never forget and I didn't let Smyly's soggy arm dampen my experience in the least.

That season it seemed like we were ready to make a run......couldn’t be farther from reality....and Smyley was just the beginning of it

Gil... the voice of moderation and of reason. When are you running for office? Or taking over Scott Servais' job?

I doubt Math teachers or woodshop teachers try to incorporate their political views into the lesson plan I would bet the vast majority of social science and liberal arts teachers consider part of their professional responsibility to educate students in line with their own political beliefs.
