At least the goal of public education in the last century was to make American citizens out of newly arrived immigrants, especially in the cities. They succeeded for the most part.

My American history teachers weren't the brightest in the world, but if 9/11 had happened back then, they sure wouldn't be standing in front of a classroom, blathering on about the wonders of Islam. The health teacher wouldn't have invited students to explore the joys of homosexuality because if she did, both she and the school board would have been lynched, and the whole school would have boycotted.

Why can't this be duplicated all over the country, modified for public schools?

The results seem so much better.

Kent Brockman: "Ladies and gentlemen, uh, we've just lost the picture, but what we've seen speaks for itself.

The Corvair spacecraft has apparently been taken over- 'conquered' if you will- by a master race of giant space ants.

It's difficult to tell from this vantage point whether they will consume the captive Earthman or merely enslave them.

One thing is for certain: there is no stopping them; the ants will soon be here. And I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords. I'd like to remind them as a trusted TV personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves."
