Very true but it's also reminiscient of some hard line right wingers complaining that kids are being taught Jefferson owned - and did other things to - slaves, that the pioneers slaughtered natives of this land, that this country was built on the backs of people that were routinely treated like scum and that until this century most women were nothing more than property to those honorable Americans
.
All true, whether anyone likes it or not.
I've never heard anyone complain about these facts.
And if they did, it's to darn bad.
They are all part of our historical record and cannot be refuted.
I just can't believe there are "educators" that are more interested in "feelings" than the truth.
I know I shouldn't be, seeing how liberal views have all but destroyed public education in this country.
But to completely ignore world changing events just for the sake of not "offending" someone....well, I'm just sickened, saddened, angry and worried, lest this mindset take over in this country.
Can't parents/the public do anything to corral school curricula?
Are parents completely helpless in such cases?
My boy is 2.5 and if this is the sort of stuff I'm gonna be dealing with, I'd better get ready for some exhaustive fighting!
The private schools have maintained their sanity, haven't they?
