Note the iconic album it's from. How long will it be before this album will be banned from all schools because it has that one song on it? But not only that album, but all by the Beatles, for who's to say that Yellow Submarine wouldn't spark Abbey Road, then in turn killing school children and teachers. Far-fetched? Explain it to the parents who just had their kindergarten child expelled because she improvised a gun with her fingers. Or a boy overheard saying, "Bang! Bang!" as he's reading a Batman comic book. But it's okay for the administration to call parents once a week to make sure their child is taking their medication prescribed by a psychologist which is illegal here in Illinois, yet somehow they get away with it. (I have firsthand knowledge that this is a fact) Title: Re: CLANG! CLANG! maxwell's silver hammer Post by: Mike Christ on February 20, 2013, 12:14:52 AM Each time I hear news about the education in this country, I die a little, knowing I just came out of it not long ago :(
But it's a total travesty. It's like it's so mangled up, it can't be called education anymore, but plain old indoctrination, and any child who disagrees is drugged up and then indoctrinated. So FUBAR that it can't be touched, because no sane person would agree that this is the kind of education we'd like our kids to have. And to top it all off, you can't opt-out. I once tried, but the only kind of home-schooling my parents could find and afford was of the Christian sort. They tried to tell me I couldn't read Harry Potter because "witchcraft is a product of Satan" ;D Title: Re: CLANG!

Need to dust off one of Mark Twain's book to make sure. |
