I respectfully disagree with you. My duaghter is in 5th grade and attends public school. There is not teacher’s union in Virginia and she knows far more about VA and American history than I did about NY and American history when I was in school.
Her father is a history buff and a fanatic when it comes to historical facts, if there was a problem with the history she is being taught he would be the first one screaming foul. And I would be back to bending the superintendent’s ear on the phone and testifying at a school board meeting. I’ve done it before and am not afraid to do it again.
That is very refreshing to hear.
Where I live the Teachers unions dominate and schools have gone from teaching about the Founding Fathers and the great patriots to teaching about little known minority poets and promoting bi and homo sexualism.
At the same time they are concerned about falling grades and graduation rates. Their solution? Spend more money on the same new age curricula.
