Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! Government schools have **always** been progressive. The failure merely became unforgivingly evident in the past 40 years!
From their very beginnings in the mid-1800s to early 1900s government schools have **always** been a progressive idea. Teacher training and curriculum development has **always** been under the control of progressives.
Government schools have **always** been socialist-funded, compulsory, and run by the collectivist voting mob ( schools board)! At first they offered the students a lukewarm and generic Protestantism. Is it any wonder then that in the last century citizens grew increasingly lukewarm in their morals and ethics? By the 1960s they were utterly godless! That was the progressive plan from the beginning!
Solution: Socialism, government compulsion, godlessness, and voter mob collectivism can never be reformed. We must move toward abolishing government schools and establishing universal private K-12 schooling.
