bunch of trappers actively voting for gun-grabbers!

look at the red versus blue COUNTY map in any recent election...we aren't in the trenches (school districts) where we own the ground!

What is the difference between liberal education and conservative education in a public school?

If there is a difference, wouldn't conservative education then be propagandizing to a degree also? What is capable of propaganda other than perhaps a few literature choices? Book censorship is a fun topic...

Right now those with conservative values are losing ground, but that is no reason to stop fighting. We don't know what the future will bring as the Covid 19 virus has shown, and some unseen future event may result in a resurgence of conservative values. Only by giving up now do we lose for sure, so continue the good fight and stay hopeful for the future. As an example, look at the lines at gun stores in extreme liberal areas such as Ca and Mass. Those liberals who lined up to buy guns suddenly came to the realization that their gov't may not be able to protect them and took action to protect themselves. I don't think they will forget that lesson soon.

how about we just teach kids real history? maybe math? I think reading should be in there...

take at look at your kids' textbooks...you think it's NOT indoctrination?

I agree on real history....that was my point. Textbooks are scary, and it can go both ways. Why does it need to be liberal or conservative? How about just truth

Like there are only two sexes?

Yep, that's true. Two sexes.

Gender is where the discussion starts for some.

You can teach everything without having a political agenda.

When looking at history, especially at american history...I wonder how many people even remember that we had the Articles of Confederation before the Constitution?

If we could just make the Constitution and the Bill of Rights mandatory in education, we’d have a different country IMO. Most “American’s” don’t understand that their rights require the assumption of responsibility for those rights.

Why are foreigners allowed to comment on politics of which they know nothing about? Asking for a friend.

Where did I write anything about a "conservative" education?

I agree with the above posters who said children should simply be educated.

If a student knows a teachers political leanings that is a bad teacher.

Cause its not against the rules Brainwave.

Hard to beat free stuff!

We're not going to come out alive by attempting to dominate the other side. What we need is acceptance. We accomplish that by educating folks that are on the other side or simply unaware sharing meat, fur, knowledge and friendship. You'll either gain an ally, recruit a new trapper, or find out their mind is made up and you move on.

I know hardcore liberal folks out here that would vote against an anti-trapping bill solely because they know that I trap, why I trap, what my wife and I do with the meat and fur (and we've had them over for beaver dinners), and that I'm not a raging jerk. That's how we stay alive.

The left are activists,the right tends to be complacent.Guns,trapping and hunting are traditions.When the left takes away our freedoms we kick and scream but hey,what do you expect?How many people on Trapperman belong to the NTA,FTA,and their state associations?I've seen this going on since the mid 70's when I first joined the NTA.A substantial number wont lift a finger to fight the anti's.And to this day I still hear people say"they can't do it here",ignoring all the states where they have done it.

It is not just the Left that is a threat to hunting and trapping the Right have been advocating selling off public land, that will do more as much damage to hunting and trapping as they left wants to do.

I do feel like we are losing the battle when it comes to hunting and trapping, public referendums have been a real wound.

Dont give up. The seeds the liberals have planted in states they have controlled for a long time are starting to produce fruit and I dont think most people are liking the taste of the fruit. Just keep pointing out California's problems and I think people will start opening their eyes.

I dont agree. But I bet it makes you feel better voting for the left.

I was a union member at one time (Longshoreman). I quit, what a disgusting bunch of thieving losers. Many of them were gun owners and outdoors-men yet still voted Democrat.
It was always the same old mantra "the Democrats are for the working man", that bunch of idiots could repeat the phrase but I doubt they could write or read it. They were really good a voting for whoever the Union told them to vote for.
It's too bad, but just because a person is a trapper/hunter/gun owner doesn't necessarily mean they are all that smart.

Like it or not if there were no unions everyone’s wages would be a lot lower. They set a higher standard of living for union workers and non union workers.
