For years, liberal teachers, the preponderant majority, have fed to their defenseless young students a steady diet of "America sucks and socialism into the empty minds of our school children. In turn, the eager youngsters take their indoctrinated selves to college where liberal professors, having gotten into the trade to crusade for equality of outcome for all, further their anti-American schooling. Not surprisingly, some of the most pliable and crusade-prone of those young sponges themselves go into teaching where they can "make a difference."
And so it goes, one generation after another, while our young people continue to decline in standardized tests in comparison to the other advanced nations of the world. The only winners in the disintegrating education system are the teachers unions and educators who manage to gain more and more benefits, higher salaries, and ironclad tenure while, at the same time, blocking any attempt at innovation that might threaten their security such as teacher performance tests and student vouchers.
