Yes. History and civics are sorely lacking in public schools and have been so for a long time. Need more Washington and less Sacagawea. And more about *good* government.

Yes, parents are surely responsible for their children’s learning. But teachers have been working ‘under our radar’ for a long time, themselves indoctrinated by progressive professors, and led at work by the progressive NEA.
Teachers are a serious American problem.
