I’ve written previously about various measures and legislation that conservative groups are trying to pass to counter what they describe as rampant liberal biases in colleges and universities. The Christian Science Monitor has an article that notes that this conservative movement is now branching out to fight perceived liberal biases in K-12 schools.

ProtestWarrior.com has equipped 160 high school chapters and about 100 individual students with materials to publicize, for instance, whenever a teacher “tries to shove his ideology down someone’s throat.” A group known as Christian Copts of California has distributed 5,000 booklets in Florida and California this year denouncing a seventh-grade world history section as an “attempt to engrave Islam in the minds of … children.” . . .

A cybercommunity, Republicanvoices.org, based in Massachusetts, is soliciting testimony from K-12 students about political bias in the classroom. Led by a 12-year-old editor (with guidance from adults), it aims to leverage support for reform of what it calls “the liberal, bureaucratic, public school indoctrination machine.”

So I guess it’s come down to this -- a further escalation of the Ideology Wars, with elementary and high schools being the latest battlegrounds. So much for “one nation, indivisible.”
