“.....[just] that too many conservatives have been blind to the education establishment for too long...”

I agree that our education system sucks, but we (I mean that as a collective “we” in the sense of Americans generally) have failed our children as well. When did we decide it was up to the educational system to instill values in our kids? I preached conservative principles to my sons all the time. I engaged them in discussions of current and historical events, and made sure they appreciated them with the proper perspective. I would guess most members of this marvelous forum do the same. But far too many parents do not do this for their children, because they do not engage in critical thinking themselves.

In my opinion, that’s where the real breakdown in our society took place. The educational system cannot raise your kids; that’s still the responsibility of the parents.
