That portion of my comment was a quote from JUDE24 , post#5.
I am not well versed in HTML and don't know how to italicize... I agree completely with you , schools are not supposed to produce robots. As long ago as the 1970's I was in a private high school and had to endure the far left indoctrination the most blatant example being in of all classes a comparative religion class.. I learned more from my own reading and working at a friends hot air baloon manufacturing business over the summers than I did in any science class.
If you've ever seen a high school graduation exam from the turn of the century (1880-1900) you'd be shocked , most of todays college grads would fail... I believe Neil Boortz is right in his contention that the governments near monopoly on the school system is designed to breed incompetent boobs who can be easily controlled by the lies of the socialists, my children may have to attend government school due to finances but I will be counteracting the slime they're fed.

Text to italicize
Same with bold: <B>Text to be made bold</B>
and you get:
Text to be made bold
And underline: <U>Text to underline</U>
and you get:
Text to underline
Now you might wonder how I got < and > :)
