It's the progressive K-12 system that has run amok.

It is damn scary to think of the idiots that are running our school systems today. It continually gets worse by the day.

True, this happened in Aug. 2012. It went nowhere thanks to the parents, Facebook, and sensible people around the country who forced the nincompoops at the school to back down.
