One counter trend involves those who think the schools should "stay out of politics" and just teach the three "Rs". These are parents who know full well their own beliefs won't stand for much scrutiny when schools expose students to science and history.
There is a similar argument at the tertiary level, with right wing parents all up in arms about "indoctrination." They would pull down standards just to insure their children aren't exposed to different views.
And those are the imbeciles we let drive the curriculum agenda far too often.
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
