But the public owns the public schools. Not easy. Public schools and public libraries have to spend a whole lot of time dealing with this very issue. It has to come right back to the mission statement I guess maybe. I just know it's not easy when dealing with the public. Just a little example I threw out there this morning.

TH! WHAT DOES THAT SAY ON THAT SHIRT YOU ARE WEARING!

I was not quarreling with you, I was simply advancing the conversation to the obvious next level. In fact, I was not even talking about Talk of The Villages, I was talking about what you were talking about.

Who the public is (you and me) is different from the Public of (my daughter) and the Public of her two children. The standards change with each generation. We who are on the back nine should not try to dictate the standards to the generation that is coming.
