I trace so much of what I see happening to our country these days right back to the day when public education started teaching our kids that America is no better than any other country or system in the world. When they started with BS that all systems and governments are essentially equal, but different and that none is better than the others. And they teamed that with the idea that there should be no winners or losers in contests and that keeping score was bad for the children's self esteem. Not to mention losing all control of discipline in the schools and the practice of passing kids who could not do the work of the current grade let alone the next year's work.

Then they moved into the idea of segregation for the sake of segregation. That usually meant busing kids all over Hell's Half-Acre and having to meet buses before sunrise for an extended ride across town to a completely foreign world. Parents were denied the ability to ‘drop in’ and check on a school or students, and the idea of a viable PTA organization was a non-starter.

The list goes on and on, but I trace the roots of the problem to the day when our young people were no longer taught about the why’s and wherefore's of, despite its shortcomings, America's position in the world.

D-Day and the sacrifices that were made, along with the overwhelming success it kicked off, are hated by liberals. And, for now at least, these liberals are running the show. Experience is a tough teacher, she gives the test first and the lesson afterwards. We are taking the test and it's abundantly clear those in charge are not up to the task.
