It looks obvious

When I saw this I was ready to write a long post of rant. I was ready to discuss the danger to the way we are thinking enforcing political correctness newspeak . I was also looking for references about the decline and the loss of confidence in the western culture.  I joined Ron’s wonder if the education system in Michigan is in such good condition that nothing left to solve but the use of the words “America” and “Americans”.

But then I decided to check the actual decision and found that such decision doesn’t exist :

“In an opinion piece crafted by Michael Warren in today’s Detroit News, the former State Board of Education member incorrectly states that the Michigan Department of Education has “ordered that our hard-working teachers not utter the words.”

No such edict has gone out to school teachers across Michigan, nor will one, said State Superintendent of Public Instruction Mike Flanagan. He explained that an independent association of Social Studies educators has discussed the issue of official U.S. documents or titles, but that any recommendations regarding changes in school curriculum have not even made it to his desk for review.”

Oh well, it could have been such a good rant…
