"struggle?"

Tom Brosz — 12/15/2004 1:54:38 AM (archived)

Don't know if I'd call it a "struggle." Out of about 14,000 school districts in America, this is what, two? And even as we speak, the full force of the Federal government is being called down to crush this evil in its tracks.

Then you can relax, knowing that the spectre of superstition and ridiculous ideas has been laid to rest.

At least the ones having to do with religion. As for the rest of the shit that's going to be pumped down your kids' throats by the modern educational establishment, I guess you're on your own.

        It would be interesting to write an alternate history about what would have happened if Roosevelt had not died in 1945. - Tom Brosz - 12/15/2004 11:33:55 PM
