    None of my history teachers in memory were anything left of American center. I guess I can’t comment on the ones in elementary school since it was basically 30-40 years ago and I didn’t have any real political awareness in my single-digit ages. My US History teacher in highschool was decidedly right-wing (and also an asshole who gave us all murderer/criminal/serial killer nicknames, nastier ones to those he liked least).

      Huh, all of mine were the libral joke being mentioned. I aint doubting your experience, but i am curious what region you are from.

      Im public school raised, east coast, and like i said all of my social studies and history teachers were very much left leaning.

          That tracks.

          It’s interesting, you don’t actually need a history degree in order to teach history in school. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of your history teachers were also coaches.
