Teachers. We went to a party at a friend's house in SoCal one time, and my wife really got into an argument with a guy there. He was a public junior H.S. social studies teacher.
He'd had a few beers and he got to mouthing off about politics. In his strong opinion, guns, hunting, and fishing should be outlawed. Republicans are "fascists". The Mexican border should be opened and our whole country should be a sanctuary for "undocumented workers", the United States is a bully that invades foreign countries (this was at the time of the 1st Gulf War). You get the idea.
What really set my wife off - he said he pushes this stuff in his classroom every day. He told my wife "My kids believe what I believe - they'd better if they want to pass".
I know there are lots and lots of good teachers. In my opinion they don't even need to agree with my politics to be good teachers - but they shouldn't be allowed to indoctrinate kids.
Teachers are mostly liberals, and there's thousands of radical a-holes like that guy working. Since the school administrators and teacher's unions generally agree with their politics, they won't fire teachers like that and put a stop to it.
And that gives the whole profession a bad name.
