I am not missing the point. You are taking it to the extreme. The extreme is what you are choosing to believe. Do you have actual government documentation stating schools are being used to promote socialism?
Charlotte Iserbyt - - as far as I can tell - - is "reporting" on what she saw. Now did she actually make copies of these documents?
I "read the words" - - - I do not interpret them in the same mind set as you.

...we did go on a field trip to ethinic markets....Chinese, Indian and Mexican markets...these were definately "tough" neighborhoods.....and I remember feeling guilty and vulnerable....
Did they take you to see the ethnic people in the tough neighborhoods to make you feel bad for them - or to feel guilty and vulnerable?

I don't think the teachers intentions were to make any kids feel guilty and vulnerable, and infact I believe his intention was to teach us diversity. My parents were very liberal, and I didn't grow up around racist views....but something about that fieldtrip always stuck in my mind, and had made me uncomfortable.....I can't speak to wether any "ulterior" motive was involved or not?

Your last two posts ask me to answer your questions and say they are listed below and nothing is there. I am not sure if you are aware of it or if you have asked questions that I missed a few pages back. Please re-list your questions ...if you are trolling I hope you are not on the public service dime.
