Do you ask for, or are you privy to, EVERY single lesson your children are presented with in school, before it comes home in the form of homework?

Do you know what every teacher is going to talk about, or what speakers are coming to the school for assemblies and exactly what is going to be said ahead of time?

I am truly puzzled by this response.

In a perfect world, we could certainly gauge what our children are exposed to, but when they're sent to a public school, there are curricula that may or may not fit one's "values."

Being made to read Ann Coulter's book, for example, is a requirement my daughter has already had in AP English. And the teacher is a FAN of Coulter.

I didn't pitch a fit.

For a generic motivational speech by POTUS to fall into the same category of "what my children are exposed to" is.....frightening.

And, yes, I'd be pitching a fit if this were happening under Bush.

We've lost our minds...not just right-wingers. Or maybe they are WHY the rest of us are losing our minds.
