I see conservatives have already shifted from "take politics out of the classroom" to "put our politics into the classroom".

    That's what it always was. Many people view. "Politics" as simply being anything they don't like or disagree with.

    Or anything that's not the status quo.

    This is common, and it's why a lot of conservatives describe themselves as "not political" while acting and voting conservative. From their perspective it's just all these annoying people stirring things up and demanding change to a perfectly good situation who are the political ones.

    In general, when someone says "I'm not political," I hear "I'm unreflectively conservative."
