We are all familiar with concerned parents at school board meetings angry at the content of educational textbooks as well as the lack of the teaching of basic skills, while the “professionals” are shocked to be criticized. This is nothing new as we see this debate from over forty years ago between William F. Buckley, Jr., Pamela Bonnell, Norma Gabler, Mel Gabler who discus the issues involved in the local control of reading matter.
Until next Friday.
