Well this sure set off a hornet's nest. Anybody been reading Doonesbury lately? How all Oregon High School Graduates are being kept out of the mythical Ivy League college.
This is how it starts to happen. All things being equal one kid graduates from Kerkhoven-Murdoch-Sunburg and the other kid graduates from SW High Mpls. All things being equal, then you read the headline of what MPS does DURING school time. Now picture yourself as the employer, administrator, Dean, etc. One of my critics on this thread, claimed that this is how we share and express our values. What if they aren't your neighbors or neighbors children's values? Let the school teach two plus two, Shakespeare, Langston Hughes, Stravinsky, Ravel, Newton, Einstein, Lincoln. Knowledge held in common. Not the political opinion of SD 60 of the DFL party.
