Thanks for the post. And permit me to add one more thing. In my experience anyway, school central administrators act like most business leaders do today. They are too cowardly to say ‘no’ to any PC idea.

Here’s an example. About 15 years ago some activist went to our school board and suggested that U.S. History be made an optional class. A student could take some sort of ethnic studies class instead. “Good idea,” said our cowardly school board.

Well, most of our History teachers were up in arms about that. They were very upset. “Shut up or lose your job,” they were told.

So now we have graduates who know nothing about U.S. history. Some folks want to blame the teachers. Sim folks want to blame the teachers union. Those folks are all aiming at the wrong target.

School boards tend to be elected, so who elected them?
