Makes you want to have the classics taught in public schools.

Oh, no you don't!

Start teaching classics - Plato, Blackstone... heck, throw Bunyan in there too - and students will be exposed to the same stuff that influenced people such as the founding fathers. Those same students might then develop critical thinking skills, and once that happened, the global left's indoctrination loop would be threatened.

No, 'tis far better to inject students with Al Gore quotes and lies about W.E.B. DuBois than give them unexpurgated Thomas Jefferson or the truth about George Washington.

I wish the classics, and the true history of this country, were taught in public schools.

If so, the young ‘uns would revolt. ;o)
