I simply will not save or promote an institution that is fundamentally wrong and which should not exist.

Fine, I and others here certainly sympathize with that thought; however; my point was that you were inaccurate in condemning the school system prior to 1960, which is what the cartoon cited, as being as bad as it is now. It did not started out as a Marxist wasteland. Thomas Jefferson was the first superintendent of schools in the U.S. They were meant to help children learn our freedoms, religious heritage, our reasons for breaking away from Europe to gain specific freedoms, our Constitutional history and economic system.
