    My wife is a public school 4th grade teacher, and she reminds me almost every single time I go to her school to take her lunch or help with something to NOT open my mouth about politics, at all.

    Although my college may seem more conservative than most, I'm certain there are those that are opposite of my own views. I am very careful not to voice my opinions broadly.

    I'm pretty libertarian, when I was working in the school system people pretty much considered me to be an evil right wing fascist. If you wonder why kids are coming out as brainwashed liberals then look no further than their teachers. Damn near all of them are card carrying socialists or communists.

    I’m debating telling my kid’s academic advisor that I received the same degree the kid is seeking from the same university and as an alumni, I know what I am talking about. I am not looking forward to paying for any social justice-y classes.

    There are some of those pitfalls you can avoid by selecting a more conservative slanted class if you have a choice. There are some “diversity requirements” that can’t be avoided unfortunately, if you want to get that degree (Psychology). I’m thinking of at least bitching that ain’t nobody helped by those particular classes and complaining why does he need to take those? I took them and they were less than useless.

    My kid probably wouldn’t give a shit if I did say something. But idk, it might hurt things for him somehow down the line. At least my kid knows better and isn’t swayed by that BS in a classroom setting.

    I don't know about Texas VA but when I went to Kansas City VA Hospital they used to ask if you owned guns. They quit doing that after a year, and I remember that Dr's were supposed to ask that question also. It was a while back when I lived in MO. They never asked at the VA hosp. in Houston when I had to go there. Of course the stock answer was no. How could you possibly trust the VA.

    Like anything it's a cross section of people.

    I'm a nurse. I did my chl class with a coworker who is an instructor. I talk guns and knives with coworkers almost daily. I'm sure there are others at work that don't share our views. But it doesn't come up.

    I don't talk politics or religion with patients. AOC could be on my table and I would treat her just like all my other patients.

    I've spent 4 years of my life in a hospital bed and I thank you for your view on how you treat patients. I'm sure I'd be glad to have you as a nurse.

    Well they found a spot on my pancreas. My tumor labs are normal or low and all of my doctors agree it's either calcification, scar tissue, or chronic pancreatitis but please pray for me that further labs don't show something worse or that this doesn't develop into cancer. I'm a huge proponent that prayer does help, so if you're a praying person, please put one in for me.

    Well... I would say she did, with the way she looked at my TV because fox was on, but I verbally started it.
    That was unprofessional of her... If I saw a customer looking at MSNBC or something I wouldn't react at all. Can't imagine engaging a customer in political talk.
