Our Public Schools — Going to Hell in a Handbasket

My wife just started the second half of her student teaching semester, this time in 4th grade.

You know how we all hear of the degrading effects public schools have on our children? Well, she brought home proof yesterday. Take a look at this bookmark they’re passing out to the kids…

Yep. I think there’s a underhanded agenda to prepare the little tikes for sex ed. Someone’s going to extremes to teach about the birds and the bees. After all, I would imagine that for some of the early bloomers, fourth grade is when they’d reach 1st base.

Now if this is fourth grade, I wonder when they’ll learn about 2nd and 3rd base. Don’t worry, being Texas, we won’t teach about the homerun.

(And if you don’t quite understand what I’m talking about, consider yourself blessed. You’re older, wiser, more mature, and unaware of the base system of describing inappropriate levels of dating behavior).
