Schools were lost under W.
The media was lost under Clinton.
Oh, I think the schools were really lost beginning in the early 1970’s when the hippie and radical leftist students went back for their masters and doctorates and became professors, teachers, researchers, textbook writers, principals, instructors and superintendents.
The schools were lost when the Department of Education was created. Everything since then has just contributed to the decline.
"No Child Left Behind" is a joke. Teachers don't "teach" critical thinking anymore, they teach enough for the kids to pass the tests and move on. It's absolutely HORRIBLE.
he didn't help it any, but the schools were gone long before W. as for the media, we never had them. Another thread was talking about the show The New Normal being cancelled. The fact NBC even considered it took a while to desensitize us from, say, the Cartwrights and the Flintstones. It took long before x42 to bring us to a gay couple trying to adopt a kid in prime time..
