Wow. You just put a smile on my face. My co-workers don’t read the NYTimes. All they heard was the way FoxNews twisted that article into another indictment of liberals.
Your point about school resources and curricula being influenced the same way is spot on — and scary. My children decided grandparents would be year round home-school teachers for their kids — k-8th grade. Every season is a teaching opportunity, so no more summer school for us.
