Bull, Torie (see post 59). A lot has changed in the classroom, some of it subtle, some not. I mean, really, if most of the teachers and the union itself is run by "independent women", wouldn't you expect the classroom to reflect that?
Of course, theres too many fatherless households with uninvolved fathers and too many heavily involved liberal women(in the NEA and the voting booth). It's a numbers thing, not a puzzle wrapped in an enigma wrapped in pretzel.
