Since LBJ, the Democrats have destroyed the American Schooling System (ASS)

I got a fabulous education in the Public Schools of New York City. I graduated from my High School, Brooklyn Tech, in 1962 and it was one of the best in the world. None of my teachers belonged to a union.

I went to MIT that September and was able to save the amount of my tuition – $1,700 – during my summer job. None-the-less, when I got there the students were demonstrating and complaining that “Seventeen hundred is too damn much!”

Since then our ASS has been degraded by the Leftwing Establishment to the status of Political Indoctrination Camps. I realized this too late and now have a 37 year old Leftwing son. He’s highly schooled – at Ivy League Universities to the PhD level – but just doesn’t realize how brainwashed he is.

I’m not making that mistake with my 9 year old daughter. She goes to a private Montessori School where the teachers actually listen to me when I explain to them how I insist on a fair and balanced presentation of the issues.

Under LBJ, the Lefties got an idea that they could CHANGE the world through our Public Schools and Universities and they have been pressing that program ever since.

We don’t need a “No Child Left Behind” program. We need a “No Political Indoctrination” program in the ASS.

Yo Adrian! I'm Tech class of '70.
We used to have 6000 students in the school. It's now down to 4000. Freshman class was 2K of whom 1300 made it. Was considered an elitist school, as you had to take an entrance exam to get in. While I was going through there was all kinds of hate and discontent and they wanted to lower the standards.

Yo ProudVet77,

My class graduated less than 1,000. My brother went there as did many friends.

Did you know two Tech grads won the Nobel Prize?

Did you know Charlie Wang (of Computer Associates) was in my class?

Harry Chapin was the year before me.

My God, what a great High School we went to.

Absaolutely. I've run into several tech graduates in the computer industry, all straight shooters. The best. I was a electronics major and will match it up against most secondary technical schools.
But it was tough. My electricity 1 teacher Mr Izzi was as tough as any. In your lab reports if you spelled a word wrong you went from an A to an A-. A second spelling mistake A- to B+ and so on. Never write in the border that was worth another drop in grade. Don't even think of a math error. That was worth another grade or two.
By the end of year 1 were were calculating the phase angle of the current through a cube made up of caps, coils and resistors. All on a slide rule. 1 problem would use up almost a whole double period!
