Interesting how the subject matter has been altered so far....
Many of those who criticize Public Schools have absolutely NO idea of their curriculums, nor the text books that the local school boards, and state school boards have approved.

There is some "crap" being taught, but it usually surrounds American History.....example:School board in Texas community approved of an American History text that said that Slavery was actually immigration!

It is hard to alter math, physics, and the use of grammar, but easy to spin history. Very few texts show the genocide of the Native American population, the desecration of the Bison, the myths of cowboys, and call it the Westward Expansion.

Today, we see those who have failed in their own education efforts try to discredit education itself. We are seeing efforts to minimize public education, and demonize higher education by those with political agendas. Real education does not direct a person's attitudes, or thought processes, but rather shows a person how to critically analyse and think. Real education is opening the mind to accept ALL theories and teach us tools to either support or deny those theories.
