9. Well of course that would be ideal

I just don't see any way that would fly. Goddess knows that black history and Native American history should be required fare in every school in the land. But as long as white men and Republicans run the school boards and publish the textbooks, that ain't gonna happen.

I wish more folks would realize just how important school boards are in shaping a society. One of the things the Repukes realized decades ago in places like Virginia is that in order to get a stranglehold on the agenda, they needed to get their people on all the school boards and county commissions. It became a priority for them.
