The fruits of socialist indoctrination in our public schools.
Travis, you've got kids. Are they in the public schools? Even if they're in a private school, the indoctrination monster is growing larger in Florida and it's new name is COMMON CORE CURRICULUM. As an educator myself these last 25 years, I have seen the visages of the monster growing on the horizon. I have fought this agenda for decades and I'm thinking I might retire before it takes hold, anyway. Because this is the first of only a few steps to complete indoctrination mode: Make no mistake, even the liberal educators admit that our profession is about to disappear in favor of the "virtual classroom." The only human input will come from "moderators" to watch student behavior and issue bathroom passes and maybe call for a tech to fix computer glitches. This is how you complete the final indoctrination of youth. This is how freedom dies starting with the first generation of virtual education and that is happening now. Right freaking now! It's only in the introductory phases, but already most of the upper eschelon learners, the gifted and advanced placement high school kids are getting their content online in Florida classrooms, at least in the larger counties like my home of Miami-Dade. The smart ones are the first to fall. They are the "movers & shakers" of tomorrow.
