I disagree. This country still had good to very good public schools in the 60s and [most of] 70s. The majority of this country’s education system was taken over by the far-left in the late 1970s (the current federal department of education was created in 1979 and began operations in 1980).
Over the next 3+ decades most of our country’s schools were systematically converted in to marxist/socialist indoctrination centers. Without a huge and painful change in direction, we will not bounce back from that.
I agree with you. Most of my public high school teachers and about half of my college professors were non-liberal. It’s sad to think how much brain washing goes on now.
