Challenges in Education System with Ideological Leanings
The education system is facing challenges with ideological leanings, particularly in terms of viewpoint diversity. Education schools have been accused of leaning left since the 1930s, leading to a lack of viewpoint diversity and the prevalence of structural stupidity. This ideological leaning has resulted in a focus on racial justice and equity at the expense of teaching skills. Elite education schools are highlighted as becoming increasingly ideological, losing the trust of centrists and Republicans. The shift towards ideologically progressive education has led to a disregard for traditional educational values, such as tests and honors classes, causing a divide with those who value a well-rounded education. The increasing ideological nature of the educational establishment has been evident in incidents like the San Francisco school board's focus on renaming schools instead of addressing pressing educational issues, leading to public backlash and a loss of trust in the system.
