George Washington was our GREATEST president. He stands alone atop that hill.

His virtue, his humility, his commitment to American indepndence and liberty should be taught to every child in this nation.

To cease doing so is to cease teaching kids about what this nation stands for and is based upon...but wait, that's probably the whole idea for the NEA isn't it?

Most youngsters that graduate this day and age know very little about anything related to our founders, what little they do learn is chock full of revisionism.

It just makes you wonder if ALL students learn about George Washington is that he was a slave owner!

And it is disgraceful that the colleges are not requiring history, American and Western Civ anymore. And I am VERY sure that's just the way the NEA likes it.

I homeschool and I remember finding out that the ancient Greeks had two views of education. The one for the ruling class consisted of what a college USED to require. What we get today was the kind of education that was only allowed for slaves, strictly a vocational one.

Do the think that the NEA may have that as an aim? /sarcasm

The examples he set, standards for a President, all make him the greatest, yes. How incredibly lucky this republic was to have a man of such genuine character.
