Teachers are left leaning because people with left leaning predilections tend to choose teaching as a career. There are multiple models to explain this but the most relevant is the idea that lefties tend to order their moral hierarchy “outward in” (World > Society > community > family > self) and righies tend to reverse that order (self > family > community > society > world)
The type of person that morally prioritizes the broader world & society will be more inclined to learn about it and also to teach it.

But uuuuuuuh nope! Public school US history curriculum is basically just propaganda.

Sooo… the only choices are between being an idolator of Beardy McDeadguys or being a liar?
