Any government school is by definition a socialist school.

The case for the separation of school and state.

But it may be soon enough. I prefer to encourage the push-back, not condemn and surrender as you have done.

Albert Shanker, former president of the American Federation of Teachers, said this:
It's time to admit that public education operates like a planned economy, a bureaucratic system in which everybody's role is spelled out in advance and there are few incentives for innovation and productivity. It's no surprise that our school system doesn't improve: it more resembles the communist economy than our own market economy.

I don't intend to surrender at all. I simply will not save or promote an institution that is fundamentally wrong and which should not exist. Government education was never good it was only less bad.

Fine, I and others here certainly sympathize with that thought; however; my point was that you were inaccurate in condemning the school system prior to 1960, which is what the cartoon cited, as being as bad as it is now. It did not started out as a Marxist wasteland. Thomas Jefferson was the first superintendent of schools in the U.S. They were meant to help children learn our freedoms, religious heritage, our reasons for breaking away from Europe to gain specific freedoms, our Constitutional history and economic system.

Also I noted the 50 star flag ???

While I didn't count the stars, if I'm not mistaken, the flag at the back of the classroom is hung backwards (about 1:20 into the video). The flag has the stars positioned at its top right. I believe that they should be at the top left when the flag is hung vertically.

Where did you get that information?

It may be now. It wasn't then.

In checking this remembered data, I see that his presidency of the school system was for Washington, DC schools, which were regarded as a model during the early days of our society:

Thomas Jefferson supported Bible reading in school; this is proven by his service as the first president of the Washington D. C. public schools, which used the Bible and Watt's Hymns as textbooks for reading.
