come to think of it most of the communist goals from the 1950’s I think it was have been “reached”

Yes.

I still remember being appalled in 1960 [at least to the extent that a second-grader can feel appalled] that the Soviets encouraged children to rat on their parents. I couldn't imagine such a thing.

But it's common here now. Parents use drugs? Parents own a gun? Parents leave you "unattended"? I understand that there's a great deal of child abuse in our society now, but that the innocent must be swept into the mess is inexcusable and unnecessary.

The innocent and niave,,,are far easier to indoctrinate having little in the way of powers of discrimination.

To most kid not having” to learn cursive means....less work, rather than something lost or more accurately never gained.

It was not until another poster here pointed it out that id thought about the fact that kids lacking the ability to read cursive. can not read the original Founding Documents...of the U.S.A

I’d bet that few of the he “progessive” “educators” in the “rank and file” understand the power of depriving children of the skill of reading and writing in cursive.
