"Parents should have input as to what is taught."

Should, but don't for a number of reasons. Foremost is that most parents can't be bothered. Most parents believe that the responsibility for educating their children lies with the teacher and the school system. Most parents have no idea what is in the text books and lecture notes their children bring home. Most parents are perfectly comfortable with receiving federal and state money for their school districts regardless of the strings. Most parents can't name a single Board of Education member for their district or name the principal of the school their child attends unless they have had to deal with him/her regarding a disciplinary issue.

“Should but don’t for a number of reasons.”

But still should never the less.

And it’s sad, society in general can’t be bothered, not just with this, but letting the govt ru(i)n their lives as well.

It’s bad enough schools are indoctrination centers for secular humanist liberalism, but look at the results in virtually every other aspect!

I see Jay Leno has kept some of his old late night aspects along with the time switch such as the Jay Walking segment but watching a snippet of “real Atlanta housewives” on his show last night and the one woman answers Jays question:

What state is named after King GEORGE...and she didn’t know and his clue was “YOU LIVE THERE” and she answered...

“Atlanta”?

It’s just staggering.

So again, why shouldn’t the parents that DO care not be heard?
