there's plenty of public schools out there that do a fine job.

Congratulations to you and your daughter. I would imagine you had more to do with the academic achievement that did the school. But the point of the article, as I read it, was the rampant political correctness that allows such egregious examples to occur. This is prevalent in all government schools and the NEA is making sure of it.

I couldn't agree more that it is the P.C. crap that is brainwashing our children.

My grandaughter is in an excellent school system,but she knows all about Rosa Parks,MLK,and even Jackie Robinson.
She knows nothing about Washington,Jefferson,FDR or Reagan.
She knows nothing about Thomas Edison or Alexander Graham Bell but she knows about the Beatles and the fact that John Lennon was shot.

SHE IS IN FIRST GRADE!!!!!!!
