I worked inside a public school system and I know this to be true. I was in engineering and construction. We had to take direction from a group called "programmers" which was a department consisting entirely of liberal females, and it was they who decided, along with the state education board, what courses would be taught and how buildings were to be designed to meet their curriculum plan. All this in accordance with federal mandates of course. Together it was 100% government control on all levels. Very little parents, no church, no business people. The public education system has become a defacto indoctrination camp for pro-big government progressive ideas.

Heard this from an NPR guest this morning.

Can anything that requires the time (money) and services of another human be considered a fundamental right?

Sounds like you're conflating understanding and conforming.

The reason we understand them is because it's their culture and it isn't changing.  Understanding them is required to deal with them.  If you don't understand, then you're just blundering from action to action with only a random hope of a positive outcome.

You know this is the same thing the Leftists say about the Right, don't you?  What's wrong with Conservatives, they need to be like us and then we'll all get along?

And the president chooses not to act.

Not a good thing.  Iranians are over there thumping their chests and cheering each other how they're able to say screw America and next time they'll get worse.  They didn't make a mistake, they did this intentionally and Trump is being a pussy.

The media makes a big deal out of Trump saying he would accept dirt, and they ignore the fact that Hillary CREATED FAKE DIRT and used it to get FISA warrants to spy on American citizens. Yet the media makes a big deal out of a sentence Trump said with no actual action. Unbelievable.

The media presents reality upside down, it’s like a photographic negative. Example, using the fake made up Russia collusion story, they claim Trump is putting foreign interests above American. The reality is exactly the reverse; Trump is putting American interests first, more so than any other President in decades.

Compare today's pussified young generation, too delicate to play dodgeball, too fragile to handle listening to a conservative speaker, terrified of global warming yet completely oblivious to the dangers of Islamofascism (they don't remember 9/11), compare them to the young men and women of WWII, and The Great War, generations willing to give their lives to keep their country safe and to defend the innocent abroad.

Thank god we don't have anything like that here, just one commencement ceremony, though the Corps students have their own ceremonies alongside the main one. But considering how widespread it is, according to the article, I'm kind of surprised we don't.

Not going to give them any ideas. Our current administration is left-leaning enough that it will probably come anyway, eventually.
