Good by then we will be able to go back to Math Science English and other valuable lessons. Social Studies programs should be outlawed and left to the parents. Of course this will put many Communists out of work but we can offer free plane tickets to Cuba and Venezuela where they can become truley useful idiots picking sugar cane.

Or the schools could just return to teaching American history and civics by the people, places, and dates. When I learned such things in middle and high school at the turn of the millennium, we had to memorize and recite documents such as the Preamble to the Constitution and the Gettysburg Address, and my high school civics teacher taught us landmark Supreme Court cases and encouraged us to participate in American self-governance by being informed citizens and actively voting.

Wait, I went to school in Virginia, not California.

Social Studies are very vital part of education. We should require those studies of the evils of communism over the decades. I still remember that our textbook in middle school on communism was bright red. It can't be left to the parents because most parents are totally ignorant of the forces of communism at work today.

I buy Curriculum that costs 360.00 a year.
It is non-consumable so it works for both kids.

Who needs books?
