If you discount those things then I actually feel bad for you. And...were you joking?

No, they read strictly The Revisionists' Book of History and The Manifesto.

They do as a matter of fact. It is EX-public schools teachers, who also pulled their children out, that are teaching my children. They were kind enough to alert me to what was going on in the schools.

There wasn't alot of that in my kids public school curriculium. Nothing more than weaving it into the already set topics of discussion when appropriate anyway. It's not like they take away a period of math for 'gayness' or whatever you think is happening.

Err...

Elitist liberals science books are those that portray US as the most evil empire of all time, but where the real heros are Karl Marx, Joseph Stalin and Vladimir Lenin.

Nice to bring up the evolution. Reading Michael Behe's Darwin's Black Box now.

It makes man made global warming science look like real science in comparison with Darwinian MACRO evolution theory.

Is that true K-12? Yikes! I guess that's why there are so many presi-dunces.

Give us a break. The U.S. spends more on K-12 education than ever before with less to show for that spending. Indeed, Washington, D.C. spends more than any other school district per pupil and yet has the worst tests scores in the country. "Investment" indeed!

I am in a public high school that is ranked 132 out of 316 high schools in the state so we are slightly above average. We learned about all the presidents from Washington to Carter. We didn't just learn their names; we learned about their political beliefs, their policies, etc. I am in Honors though so it may be different for CP. My high school is middle class so it's not just rich districts who are learning all of the presidents.
