I was just old enough in the very early 70s to remember some of that. Mom was pretty keen on teaching the separation between "heads" and "boots". You can diss Washington, if you wish, for all the distance you can swing a cat. Always respect, however, the men they send who have to do the work.

And here is an example of just how mean the anti-war crowd can get, Condor. Amazing how often this comes from Teachers. Reminds me of the '60s. The history of these stories is: (a) they generally turn out to be much more complicated than the first telling, and (b) eventually everyone realizes that, even if they contain smidgens of the truth, the issue is about bad behavior by teachers, not, the "anti-war crowd." It's the same tactic, Bill, take a small incident, massage the story as much as possible, and try to smear a movement with it. Precisely like the story in which the Washington Times wrote about the NEA and a 9-11 curriculum in which the item in question was not on the NEA website and did not say, once placed in context, what the Times charged.
