I have maintained for quite some time now that our public schools are abandoning traditional education more and more in favor of becoming indoctrination centers where "Liberalthink" is the main subject. School Boards seem to be more interested in turning out students who are proficient in the art of politically correct thinking than they are in turning out students who actually have the skills they will need in the future to get a decent job. Did you notice how Clay Aiken struggled last night on the "Are You Smarted Than A Fifth Grader" show over how much 8 times 8 was? It’s a good thing for him he can sing.

.

One of the latest examples of this occurred at the Adams Middle School in Brentwood, California. The principal, Adam Clark, encouraged all the students to dress like the opposite sex on the last day of "Spirit Week." It was suppose to create sensitivity and tolerance of cross dressers, transsexuals, and transvestites among the students. That’s something that every 13 year-old needs, right?

.

One parent of a seventh-grader questioned the principal about this and was told that she could keep her son home that day if she didn’t want to send him to school dressed as a girl.

.

To make a long story short, when the parents got wind of this the outcry to fire the principal was so great that the event was cancelled and instead the students were asked to wear the school colors on that day. The parents won this one. Even so, they need to watch very closely what’s going on in schools today. You’d be surprised.
