My history teacher presses majorly left wing views in our history class,

Our history teacher is very biased, i mean she didnt even mention he formation of israel and then posted it on a test. WHat should we as the class do? and how can we pass the AP exam with such a slanted teacher?

I had a very biased 7th/8th social science teacher in the same manner. However, that just means you need to rely more on studying outside the class then taking notes in the class.

Lol, maybe you should become a history teacher and start a New Revolutionary Age of Good History Teacher.
I feel you, teachers like that should be evaluate. Maybe you could go up and give her your opinion on how she teaches. Just don't go to the extent where she puts you on her bad side :) .

Yah, whatever you do, do not take an agressive stance against the teacher. Maybe just ask a question on how conservatives would view this issue?

Our teacher is also left leaning, but she hides it from us. However, the majority of the class also leans left (which is amazing if you consider our school in a major Republican district in Texas), so we constantly try to make her expound her views to us. :) I can't wait until we cover the New Deal. :p

I would deffinaetly do what Chris said here. Don't rely on your teacher for everything, in any class, but especially with history. All teachers in any subject are biased in some form or another, but History seems to have the largest differences.

Try finding outside information, like I can see your doing by joining this site.

well there are two things that you can do.
1) Cry about it.
2) tell the administrators (aka principal) and then continue to cry about it.

Telling the administartors would do nothing. Asking the teacher about some stuff couldn't hurt though...

The hardest thing about trying to study with our teacher is that she gives us chapters so fast... we do 1-4 chapters a week... she's crazy. And the majority of our class is left wing also, which made the only debate we've had all year very interesting. In the other period for APUSH there is 1 conservative, and about 14 liberal students. I feel sorry for my friend in there... he sits in the back right corner, and everyone else sits jamed up near the front left. the class pretty much excommunicated him... and the teacher thinks it's FUNNY! stupid liberal

It's because God hates you

Yeah, that class is kinda fun, we all sit in our little factions, avoiding the liberal brainwash our vile teacher spews apon our meager efforts to learn teh history of our nation.

Enough junk, today, she gave us a lecture on liberalism.... hmmmm.... how fair and balanced. she only mentioned barry goldwater for about 3 seconds, and then went on and onn about how great JFK was and what a good liberal LBJ was and soo oooooonnn and onn. kinda hard to remember that there was a war going on at the time, and that there were people dying to fight communism.

I have a history teacher that thinks that all he says is right; however, about fifty percent of what he tells us contradicts what I read and leran on the history channel. Should I challenge him?
