Study shows that "Both critical race theory and radical gender ideology are widespread in American schools and are measurably shifting students to the political left."

The role of education should not be to shift students to the left or to the right, but to teach them how to think so they can decide for themselves which way they want to lean.

In the current environment, any actual education would shift students to the right.

I saw some "liberal" nonsense spouted by a few teachers when I was in school, though nothing as insane as what's being pushed today. It didn't take very well, since we were children of the WWII generation and in most cases our parent's down-to-earth realism rubbed off on us.

When I read about what's going on in some schools these days, I find myself thinking it's time to bring out the tar and feathers again . . .
