Saw the story this morning. My wife and I are constantly on the lookout for such nonsense in the Bedford schools, and now even my daughter (who is in 9th grade) has become adept at spotting liberal/socialist/collectivist propaganda. We've always made sure she's had alternative (libertarian and conservative) points of view to consider, as against the effluence that often oozes from the educational monolith.
In this event, as soon as I saw the name "Ehrenreich" I knew what was up. She's an old Movement communist from way back; a radical feminist, a fourth-generation atheist, and honorary chairwoman of the Democratic Socialists of America. Or, as Keith Olbermann would say: she's a "moderate".
My Grandfather used to say that a persons real education is at home. If you can install real values and point out the crap, a big gold star for the forehead if they can recognize what you have taught them is true.
