Maher sounds alarm on 'climate of fear' in US schools: Parents afraid of 'not being woke enough'

"Real Time" host Bill Maher led a panel discussion Friday night on a subject he said he has been "taking a lot a s--- for" in the past for pushing against, which is the current state of education in America. 

"Two things that are different: Parents don't have the back of the teachers anymore, they always side with their little brat ... and the biggest thing, I think, is the shift away from moral teaching from the parent to the school. "It used to be the school would be afraid of what the parent thought. Now the parent is afraid of going against what they're teaching in school -- even when they don't agree with it." "A lot of what's happening is really indoctrination." "It used to be the school would be afraid of what the parent thought. Now the parent is afraid of going against what they're teaching in school -- even when they don't agree with it. That's a huge shift that we should stop and at least notice and debate and talk about, right?" Maher asked.
