Competent people represent too great a danger for the left. Must teach that “Jimmy has two Mommies”, not how to add and subtract.

...Jimmy’s babys daddy is Jimmy Joe.

You got that right. I teach at a private school that has recently jettisoned all traditional math in favor of the constructivist method that has brought us to our mathematical knees as a nation. It just makes me sick. My wife has to teach it in the lower grades. I get the miserable results to work with in 9-12.

Wonder if some of Hussein’s education fund went towards math skills?

When I was homeschooling my daughter, part of her curriculum (public) included one of those thin little 2nd grade books that actually was a Susie Has Two Daddies kind of book. The story (if you can believe this!) was that Susie's Daddy divorced his Mommy and went to live with his "Friend Jim". Since it was "required reading" for the semester grade, the husband and I would take the book and put it in strange places in the house that only he & I could identify - in the back of large houseplants, under the sofa, high in the cabinets with the flashlights and such. My husband and I laughed until we had tears in our eyes. We kept saying, "oh yeah, we need to get around to having dd read that book...hmmm, where is it? I can't find it."

She never saw even the COVER of that stupid book. It was returned with the rest at the end of the year and she was never tested on, asked to review, or give her opinion on that piece of slime.
