Then I must have gotten a great deal.

My seventh grade U.S. History teacher required us to memorize portions of the Declaration and Constitution, as well as parts of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. She was part of the "old guard" of teachers.

My U.S. history teacher at TJHSST taught us facts and required us to write coherent papers. My U.S. Government teacher at the same school did the same, although he was one of those "moderates."

Maybe I am blessed...or maybe it's the fact that the public schools in Northern Virginia are not that bad, although moral relativism is slowly creeping in, in some places.

Those old guard are retiring and dying... most of your new guard are post 60s educated moral relativists.

I highly doubt your old guard would have remotely imagined she’d have orders to teach kindergardeners homosexuality is normal.

When your child is in public school they are a WARD OF THE STATE for 6 to 8 hours a day, that’s the facts.
