“I don’t know what kids are taught nowadays. I do not have access to a kid to ask him or her detailed questions about what they learned in school today.”

++++++++++++++++++++++++

I saw some issues when my sons were in elementary school, late 80’s, early 90’s? Rumors of LGBT stuff. My kids were in a great public school, yet I kept asking, why aren’t they learning anything??

I pulled the oldest one out as he was headed into junior high and the youngest one was headed into 4th grade. Teachers had excuses for why kids couldn’t learn and I remember thinking I could solve that problem in a few months at home.

Fast forward now, youngest son and wife pulled their kids out of school a month ago to home school. My 2nd grandson, 3rd grade had no idea who George Washington was. He pretty much spent his days in class with a book in his lap. My youngest grandson, 6, can’t read.

My dil is doing stellar. I said not to worry about the reading, he’ll find an author he likes.

Most days, in most public schools, most of the time is spent on disciplining the naughties. My oldest grandson was one of those.

I have a couple of good, dear friends who are college profs. They both say education is dismal at best. Many college students have to take remedial classes, math, English, lit, sciences before they can take the big kid college classes.

One friend says the kids (college age) cannot relate to others at all. They are too dependent on their phones. And of course any time there’s a disaster, even if on the other side of the world, they fall to pieces and can’t come to class.

Justice Thomas Slams Biden In PBS Documentary

https://conservativebrief.com/tr-9487-mjynhbgvf-30517/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=BFT

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas rarely does interviews or speaks publicly about issues facing the nation.

He’s typically reserved, keeps to himself, and focuses on his handling his duties on the nation’s highest court.

But all of that just changed after Thomas just went after former Vice President Joe Biden and other Democrats — and he did not mince his words.

In a PBS documentary called, “Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words,” Thomas sat down for an interview and recalled the 1991 witch-hunt led against him by Biden during his confirmation hearings.

“The idea was to get rid of me,” he said, referring to Biden’s efforts to block the U.S. Senate from confirming him to the U.S. Supreme Court.

“And then after I was there, it was to undermine me,” he said.
