Bob,
Maybe the initials are mistyped? Last time I checked, the NEA doesn't have a lot to say about the K-12 curriculum. You know who does? The Texas State Textbook Committee.
Their best one last year? Deciding that John Calvin was way more important than Thomas Jefferson!
In the study of American History!
And because their textbook orders are so big, they decide what gets taught in other states. So everyone who says the system is broken is perfectly correct!
It's a pity Jefferson isn't a founding father anymore. I always kind of liked him...
Thanks,
Bill
