The Left has it covered all the way. Words have power. They are symbols of thought. If you change the words; you change the way people think. Political Correctness is a mind altering effort. It is designed to create 'change'. . .in one's moral orientation and cutlural and world view. . . .PC is designed to capture Will and Reason and replace it with a brainwashing 'group think'.
We know from history, that it works. Those holdouts who have not been rendered up till now, 'mind-numbed or brain dead'; can witness it's power and threat, today.
I envy your optimism. . .and I want to share it. . .(not there yet, however.)
By all that is Right; these Dems will lose. OTOH. . .ACORN IS on the job here. . .as is Obama. (Which reminds me. . .what IS happeing in Minnesota? Do we have a 'winner' yet?)
“Don’t waste your time vetting the public school books. you can’t do anything about them”
My colleagues and I, who were teaching when some of these textbooks were selected by STATE officials and subsequently adopted by our local school board, refused to use them. We made our case using examples from the textbooks to our local school board members and won. The new texts were shipped back and we continued with the older, more accurate editions.

I’ll be home for part of the day before i head out to mark Levin’s book signing.
Oh, i hope they knock on my door, and I will follow them throughout the building, countering their spiel to my neighbors.
You do good work. My wife is an elementary teacher and we have tried and failed the same thing.
