A couple of years ago the Republican Texas platform actually had a provision in it against the teaching of "higher order thinking."

As I recall, the Congress passed a provision for free universal preschool clear back in the 70s and Nixon vetoed it because he didn't want things taught to young children that different from what their parents are teaching them e.g. how old the earth was.

Republicans of course.
