Reply #7: Jeb the "Reformer" [View All]

[badgervan]

Any state can dumb down the curriculum, especially the mandatory tests, so more kids "pass" with good grades. The fact that they are not learning what they could and should be learning is not part of Jeb's "plan". I can tell you from personal experience that the deep south, in general, has terrible school systems - in all respects - including teaching the Civil War as they wish it would have gone, and slanting the reasons for that war. Jeb, and many other southern "leaders", also want religion in all public schools - but it has to be their religion.
If you want your kid to be a good little republican and evangelical "christian", get them into a southern school. It is revisionism at its "finest".
