Good piece, Stephen, thanks. The GOP curriculum is what I was taught grades 2-10 in the academically elite Montgomery County Maryland public schools. Somehow, critical thinking and intense curiosity led kids raised in the 1950's to create the cultural revolution - we learned. We fought against wars. Studied racism. I don't know whether subsequent generations learned that you can't run an empire without telling lies, to quote Daniel Ellsberg.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Martha. Who would have thought decades ago that there would be a movement to return to the '50s? By that, I mean the 1850s.
