Back in those days schools were actually teaching kids. I went to school in the 60s and early 70s. Before anyone was woke except in the morning after a good night’s sleep.
Also, I grew up a country boy. Nothing but sweet, clean air, if you didn’t mind the smell of manure when the pastures got sprayed.
Heck. We all know education has always been flawed in many ways. I was a military dependent and went to 10 different schools K-12 by my count, so I suffered by bouncing between the different techniques being tried out by various school districts.
But back then, they did not have the astonishing level of BS we see now, even apart from the sexuality and mainstreaming of homosexuality as “teaching”.
I am particularly troubled by the relativistic teaching of history now. And the lack of civics education...since I count what is taught now as indoctrination.
