Oh, pull the other one. It hath bells on.

I have no doubt you can bury this site in documentation. On any given day, in this communication-rich society, a hundred opinions can be found to support any position at all, including the flat Earth theory.

But if the colleges and universities are turning out nothing but Marxists, why aren't they here? We have college-educated teachers in Pennsylvania too.

A few hundred quotes from a few hundred people with opinions doesn't make a thing true or right. My experience of life and my lab experience in the education system with four children contradict your sweeping statements. You will have to quantify them. When you say "in any context", is that what you mean? How do you define "very few"?

Last Thursday, while preparing dinner, the girls got into a discussion about family and history, and how we got here. The 14-year-old, remarking on the 5 pounds of potatoes peeled and in the pot, said something about the Hunger, and weren't we lucky that the potatoes weren't all black slime. "Oh," the 10-year-old said, "was that the Black Death?" "No," I said, "the Black Death was a plague that happened much earlier, in the 14th century." "When the locusts and the frogs came, and the sky turned dark and all the first-borns died?" the 10-year-old asked. By this time, the 14-year-old and the 19-year-old were on the floor. The 10-year-old had the Pilgrim and the Puritan experiences in America nailed, though; it was European history she was having trouble with.

So you see, ignorance cuts a wide swath. It's not all a Communist plot.
