THER WAS A BIT of contention recently over a “quiz” given to some sixth-graders in New York. In conjunction with their study of the 2008 election, the kids were asked if they agreed with the Iraq war, abortion, gay marriage, gun rights, and the death penalty. Many conservatives smelled a liberal indoctrination afoot.
As the father of a sixth grader, let me assure you: just the process of getting your kid into a New York middle school is more insufferable than any alleged political precept they’ll face there.
