Actual Footage: Brainwashing in Elementary School

This is actual footage from a documentary done in an elementary school (Cambridge Friends School - a Quaker School) in Cambridge, Massachusetts.  What is troubling to me is that in this day of "education" only one side of many issues is allowed to be taught.  They are focusing all the explicit attention to the tolerance of a few and "re-educating" these children.

Elementary schools should be a place where children learn to read (phonics), write, grammar, learn the English language (rules, spelling), practice reading, learn math (calculate numbers - add, subtract, multiply, divide, percentages, fractions), learn the introductions to science (and there is plenty to teach that is non-controversial like plant life, cell life, animal life, solar system, rocks, oceans) learn about history - US (our presidents, our founding of our nation, our wars, our government (the branches of government and what they do) and a limited amount of world history (the big items like wars and countries births, basic economics (money - the use of and it's influence on our society) and yet this school feels the need to "re-educate" on issues that are non-academic.  There was opinion shared throughout these interviews and it's allowed because it's the "lefts" agenda.  No one on the "right" would be able to share in such detail "their" opinions in the classroom on such topics or many other topics without an uproar yet these children are being "formed" by teachers on matters that should remain issues taught at home.

I don't remember my teachers sharing their "intimacies" and choices while I was in grade school; in fact, it wasn't until I was in high school that I ever knew much about the private lives of my teachers and the information I did receive was shared after school hours outside the classroom instruction.

There is such a double standard in this country.  Would these same teachers agree to have someone come into address Christianity and all the details of that with their students?  Would they feel that was education or indoctrination yet they are allowed to "share" because "they" have determined what is acceptable and what it not.  This is NOT surprising that this is in Massachusetts but still it is shocking how far they are pushing the envelope under the guise of "education".
