Regents support teacher "Bar Exam" say more rigorous certification process will help students

7. That's interesting. My grade schoolteachers, all female, ( nuns ,mostly) I assumed to be....

... Republicans. I'm not sure why. Maybe 'cause the 5th grade teacher told us to tell our parents to vote for Goldwater because (DEM veep cand.) Humphrey was a communist.

But it's not like they spent class time talking about politics.

My HS teachers were all males... about 1/2 priests. In the early seventies everything in the culture was political... or it sure seemed like that. Opinions were very polarized. I'd say the priests on average were to the left of the lay teachers. A number of priests were in the Berrigan mold... i.e pretty left wing.

And of course you had your neanderthals. Most of the left/liberal priests were purged from the church when the next pope came in. That would have been late seventies.
