my school days were unimaginative
Teachers in those dreary days spent their time trying to inculcate math, history, and grammar into our minds. No time was spent worrying about our sexual identity. Student government had we none. And we didn't miss it!
We were trying to learn how to diagram sentences. And other boring stuff, like algebra. But when we were allowed to graduate we knew George Washington from Abraham Lincoln and could remember the dates of the Civil War. Furthermore, we loved our country and were proud to be Americans. Today, not so much.
When do students have time to do their homework nowadays?

Today's teachers want us to go the way of the dinosaurs. Along with our [admittedly, imperfect] knowledge, ethical systems, principles of scientific discourse, civility, common sense, tolerance to those who disagree with us, etc, etc, &&&
I don't remember the past being so rosy. They taught us a lot of crap in the 50s, all the while ignoring segregation. Which we knew wasn't fair.
Dick, why would you need somebody else to "teach you" about something you thought was not fair? All the good teacher is supposed to teahc, is critical thinking and ability to self-anylize reality. You had reality of segregation around you - and you had your thoughts about it: that's how it should be.
Besides, all this liberal breast-beating they teach now in schools created a new artificial segregation: colleges only for blacks, jobs only for blacks, promotions only for blacks, benefits only for blacks. Excepting anyone who is not black. Encouraging blm pogroms and expropriations. And call it diversity and equality.
50's look positively fuchsia, not just rosy, in comparison
