Now that you mention it, the USA needs a lot more socialism than it
has
now. If we had a proper nanny state overseeing education, no way a
dork
like Scottie would have escaped elementary school with such a
terrible
grasp of our language.
and just who believes in 'social promotion'?
the libs!!!!!

Those individuals aren't "libs", Simpy. They're mush-brained
conservatives just like you.

no, you are wrong, it was the libs, it is a 'self-estem' issue
for the non-learning kids, thi libs think that positive self
esteem trumps competency.

Nonsense. Where did you hear this crapola?

From liberal 'nurturers' protecting
the delicate psyches of the young.

Yeah, right. Specifics?

this was a policy prevalent in the 80's and 90's
it was widely discussed back then, it became controversial
the professionals in the education establishment
were, and are, very strongly tilted to the liberaql bent.
the idea behind it was to not
damage the self esteem of children.
this has been widely known as a 'liberal' position,

where do You want to go now?
you want to argue thaqt the libs were for Vietnam and the cons wantd
withdrawaql?
