I havent read where anyone is "taking offense to the behavior of 5 year olds."

A mother questioned the policy of the school to perpetuate a fable rather than use the opportunity to educate the 5 year olds about a national holiday on a more factual level.

Why cant adults have reasonable discussions about her concerns without raising the "PC boogeyman" or "socialist sociology teacher's half-brained and emotionally driven rant."

Who is really doing the ranting?

timalkin.....How does socialism come into play here?
