One can never just relax and know that things are going to be done in an acceptable manner.  One must forever be on guard and prepared to do battle.

It's terrible to read and hear of courses being altered in such a way that paints a completely different picture. I wonder if this sort of thing is going to make its way to colleges.

I agree that parents should look at the textbooks their children are using! I don't have a problem with the Arizona law, either. Shelly

This is why we must teach our children how to learn... not what to learn.
We should be teaching them where to find information, and how to view it with some critical analysis...  Teaching them to distinguish lies from truth...  to be a little suspicious of salesmen of every kind.

this is just the tip of the ice berg, you should check out what the center for American progress wants to eliminate from schools, classes on U.S. history and the Constitution and more, all funded by George Soros.

you have once again succeded in raising my heart rate up to a higher
level that I get after a great bike ride. You have also been very successful in making my blood a bit warmer, as a matter of fact my blood is at boiling levels.

I never liked your guest speaker.  I think him to be arrogant and sexist but I am almost embarrased to admit that  I found myself agreeing with his message in the excerpt you posted.  I got to go throw up now, but I just want to say that it is disgraceful that we are allowing that stuff to go on in our schools.  xoxoxo
