Yes, but fear not.

My very conservative brother is a professor of film at a college near Burbank…and he goes out of his way to show off his political beliefs to students in his class. (!)

Hmmm…sounds like you are depriving your child of diverse points of view; when you request a different teacher along political lines.

Your kid has a whole lifetime to hear your point of view, why not let him/her figure things out on their own? If you raised them right, you should be able to trust their judgement on what they hear…right?

Sure would make for more interesting dinner discussions, with you trying to debate and/or shoot down what some “bearded, liberal” teacher told your kid that day…

I’d guess there are actually too many of them…

Fortunately I can request a different teacher in our system, and have done so. Those requests have been honored, and I temper my children’s indoctrination with facts as we often have discussions on politics and religion.

I don’t believe in revisionist history.

I hate bio. Interesting and all that, but…has some pretty rough tests. ugh.

Once this is done, I can start working on my teaching credential program.

I sometimes kid around with my Conservative family and say; “every highschool needs a bearded, liberal history teacher”

they cringe.

“Maybe leave signs asking to respect the land.”

Was that supposed to be funny? Do you think for one minute, even if the illegals understood the message, they would care?

What classes are you taking?

They often litter, ruin the soil, and divert water resources.

I’d bust `em and book them on environmental damage charges.

…and take the pot.

That said, I’ll take the bait on this one…

Of course it’s sad and shitty that migrant workers crossing into the US through these wild areas often leave litter behind.

Until we come up with a plan that allows migrant workers to cross into the US safely and through regulated entry points, without penalizing them for trying to make their lives better for themselves and their children, then we’re going to have to deal with the kinds of mess in your topic. This kind of environmental damage is a symptom of an ailing immigration policy.

People shouldn’t be crossing long distances through deserts on foot anyways, unless you are prepared, experienced and treat the land with respect.

This won’t change until we change the overall situation.

Short term solutions? There should be local environmental advocacy groups that should take it upon themselves to clean up their neck of the woods.

If I were a local in a problem area, I’d get off my ass and clean that shit up.

And feel good about doing it, too.

Maybe leave signs asking to respect the land. Provide cat holes to poop in, and maybe even a garbage container or two if possible. Maybe dig a garabge pit, and mark it well.

I’d also leave caches of water and supplies.
