I agree that government schools were corrupt and flawed from their start. But when I say “destruction of the schools”, I envision a bomb that has exploded. Just because in the 50s it may have looks fairly harmless and inert does not mean it really was, but it is fairly recently that the destruction became obvious.
I absolutely agree!
I've wondered about that this rapid decay. I've concluded that prior to the early 60s there were still enough parents, teachers, prinicpals, superintendents, and school board members who personally knew the people who had broken the land as pioneers, tamed the wilderness....Or...They were people who personally knew those who were immigrants **before** there was welfare.
