It has been going for 50 plus years. The progressive education establishment has been working a long time to destroy local control.

Well they missed it byThatMuch.

They have 40 days left to fully succeed before their chance is gone.

I think we (me) still haven’t absorbed the magnitude of having the house and senate AND a real president (not bush) for at least four years.

SCOTUS is ours for decades now, though no one can read the mind of the person chosen or what they will think or do in the future.

50 years is a very conservative estimate. It's been over a century:

Through such works as The School and Society (1899), The Child and the Curriculum (1902), and Democracy and Education (1916), Dewey articulated a unique, indeed revolutionary, reformulation of educational theory and practice based upon the core relationship he believed existed between democratic life and education. Namely, Dewey's vision for the school was inextricably tied to his larger vision of the good society, wherein education–as a deliberately conducted practice of investigation, of problem solving, and of both personal and community growth–was the wellspring of democracy itself. Because each classroom represented a microcosm of the human relationships that constituted the larger community, Dewey believed that the school, as a "little democracy," could create a "more lovely society."
