Thought-terminating cliche! The classic liberal coping mechanism.
You're not going to convince your teacher through well-sourced arguments, but you may have sown some doubts. I'd look to your classmates as a better audience in this class.
You do not realize how xenophobic the average American teenager is. Fascism creates angst and rage and turns it towards outsiders, and high school in America is the prime place this takes place.
I know plenty of teachers whom teach across the 12 grades who say otherwise.
My friends in education think I'm right. Maybe it's due to specific material conditions of our communities, idk.
They also always love anyone that can own the teacher.
Depends upon the teacher, topic, and student.
I think that a leftist classmate educating them might help them avoid falling down that path. When I was a highschooler I was able to get a bunch of my friends off of far right radicalisation pipelines and now many of them are communists
I teach high schoolers political stuff all the time...
One of my best times in school was converting a teacher to Marxism before I was even there. Our grade 12 end of year social studies paper was an opinion piece about the fundamental nature of competition. Dude took me aside after class, I thought I was in trouble and he told me that it acrually changed his view of the world. 17 year old me was star eyed cause this was the most stuffed shirt teacher I ever had and everyone else was terrified of him. We got along well beforehand regardless but that was the biggest boost I ever felt.
Now I'm just sad thanks dawg
like hell. they're all spouting the same sensationalist nonsense. I'm considering tickling the roof of my mouth with a well-placed shotgun.
I know you may be joking but please be well and talk to somebody if you really have thoughts like this. Your life is so much more valuable than some stupid argument with a schoolteacher and you can only be part of the leftist movement if you continue to live.
