# '''Males and females can be taught the same way.'''  Males and females have different brain make ups, different learning skills and different abilities. Hence, they need to be taught using different strategies. It should be also be noted that another liberal myth says that males and females should be treated the same.

# '''Abstinence only sex education doesn't work.'''  Liberals believe that children as young as kindergarten age must be taught about sex in graphic detail.<ref>NEWS.au.com [http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,23071533-2,00.html ''Anger at kindergarten sex lessons'']</ref>  They refuse to acknowledge that abstinence is the only way to prevent pregnancy and STDs with 100% effectiveness, and instead argue that we should teach children about somewhat risky methods to prevent pregnancy and STDs.

# '''No religious expression is allowed in school.''' No court has ''ever'' issued a ruling to this effect. Attempting to prohibit a student from praying, wearing a crucifix, or otherwise expressing their faith is, in fact, not within the rights of a teacher or school administrator.

# '''No religious expression is allowed in school.''' In the West, this is most distinctly aimed at the Christian religion. No court has ''ever'' issued a ruling to this effect, and in fact in America, the modern liberal separation of Christian faith and public education is not the  historical norm.<ref>[http://peacebyjesus.witnesstoday.org/CauseEffect.html Cause and Effect:

The Bible, the Educational System, and It's Influence]</ref> Attempting to prohibit a student from praying, wearing a crucifix, or otherwise expressing their faith is, in fact, not within the rights of a teacher or school administrator. Moreover, as it is impossible to divorce an educational or legal system from moral beliefs, the expulsion of the acknowledgment of God, and the authority of the Biblical Bible has resulted in State-sanctioned secularism and its beliefs. By omission and commission this increasing fosters atheism and objectively baseless morality, with its deleterious effects.<ref>[http://peacebyjesus.witnesstoday.org/RevealingStatistics.html#Sec13 Education and Media]</ref>   

# '''It doesn't matter if you succeed, as long as you try.'''  While genuine effort and a strong work ethic are admirable, teaching students that results don't matter is gravely misguided; of course, that isn't how the real world works.  Most employers don't care if you tried really hard...they care if you got the job done.  Failure doesn't automatically make one a bad person, but it does carry consequences, and students need to be taught accordingly.

# '''Students shouldn't be 'tracked.'  Putting students of different ability levels in different classes can hurt their self esteem.'''  Anyone familiar with what goes on in the typical classroom has encountered the opposite: if a student has a serious deficiency in a subject, putting them in a classroom with other students of much higher ability is the surest way to shine a spotlight on that deficiency.  Students are keenly aware of which students in a class are the "smart ones" and which ones are the "dumb ones."  Generally, efforts to teach students with widely different levels of academic ability in the same class results in boredom for the advanced students and frustration for the struggling students.
