Welcome to the Brave New World of deconstruction and critical theory. Why anyone would send their children to public indoctrination centers (given a *choice*) is inexplicable. And these folks are just getting wound up.
They are indeed just getting wound up, but I would also suggest that they are fighting in an ever-shrinking arena. There are a growing number of options available to students and parents, and thanks to the New Media there is now an opportunity even for people who aren't passionate news consumers to learn of the dangers faced in schools as well as options that may be available to them. It wasn't so very long ago that we would never even hear about the problems with books such as this Norton Anthology, but nowadays we can learn that this sort of garbage is coming before it even hits the bookstores. I agree that things are bad, but I'm trying to keep some optimism....I'm not going to let the Left steal that from me.
