Only a nation bent on self-destruction would poison their kids with such crapola.
I do plan to check out this book.
For what it’s worth, K-Lo liked the book so much she added a “lie”-—my title is “48 Liberal Lies About . . .” (not “49”). Not that there AREN’T 49.
Actually, all civilizations eventually become bent on self-destruction, they just never admit it and aren't aware of it until it's already well-underway. There is always a cadre of intelligent and far-seeing types who spot the trends and the historical inertia bending from glory to ruin, but they're all considered Cassandras and pilloried. In the old days, they'd just be executed, thus being afforded the chance to watch the ruin from the safety of heaven (ot that they would enjoy the spectacle).
This, really, is the kind of warning people should take to heart: if you really have to make scads of money right now, then, fine, go ahead and live among those hell-bent on undermining the pillars of our civilization and bringing it all down around our heads. But, you don't know how close the nation is coming to disaster until it breaks down, so if you want to roll the dice, go ahead. I folded and left the table, moving from CA to NC. Taxes are still awful here and the place has been run by putative Democrats since Reconstruction, but God still is seen as in charge by the vast majority, and that makes a massive amount of difference. We can manage to get taxes lowered, we can't fix stupid, if our teachers implant it.
