The real problem is that kids get graded on test questons that require a "correct" leftwing answer. How can they keep their minds free and clear?

I tried to hire a book editor in Florida nine yhears ago, and our best candidate totally flunked the spelling and grammar test we administered. He had a masters in Journalism from UF in Gainesville. Why did you flunk? "Because our teachers don't grade on writing and editing skills, they grade on political correctness."

This is not new. In 1953 in freshman English class at Texas A&M, I had a communist for a professor. I have been very conservative all my life. He and I locked horns and it became obvious that I was going to fail if I didn't suck up to him. Half the final was an essay. One of the titles I could pick from was "How I Was Wrong." I wrote this lie about how he had convinced me about his socialist doctrine and how blind I had been. I made an A on the final.
