re: #525 Sharmuta

I don’t think he’s saying it’s false; rather that it’s overblown. I’m sure there are also idiot Democrats on school boards proposing stupid things, but since the media probably agree with them, or because they are Democrats, or for whatever reason, it’s not emphasized or even reported.

This is obviously a hot-button issue for you and for many on this thread; but it’s not for Tedzilla, me, or probably many others, and I think that’s all he’s saying. I don’t think the Republican party is in danger of being taken over by the social conservatives and I don’t think these people that outrage you so are going to succeed in changing the public school curriculum.

However, if they did, I don’t even think it would matter. Our local school system’s fourth-grade social studies textbook devotes 16 paragraphs to Marilyn Monroe and one to Abraham Lincoln. Public schools are a lost cause as far as I’m concerned.
