If you want to scare the crap out of your local schools do what I do ... show up at the parent / teacher meetings, the PTA meetings, talk to them, ask questions, monitor the school board and don't forget to wear a shirt with a flag on it. Sniff around the textbooks, point out that programs that start in California almost always fail. Stick with your principles and stand your ground ... they respond to that. -- The Philadelphia Talk Radio Politics and Opinion Forum

[> My "favorite" examples of PC nonsense are the guide books that lure innocent European tourists into South Central LA because they describe it as "colorful and vibrant.". Like the one I used for Boston, that said that Chinatown subway station was "near the Chinatown district", but didn't tell me that I would emerge at ground level into something like downtown Kinshasa. -- Chris Henry, 11:02:40 05/01/03 Thu (cache7-1.ruh.isu.net.sa/212.138.47.17)
