Latest Breaking News

I never heard anything about the Tulsa Race Massacre until someone educated people here at DU. I've learned a lot more history on DU than I ever did in school, I swear! And, like I said, I think I had a decent education. It was before the "new methods" in teaching started taking hold. I did miss out on a lot of "alternative" classes; we didn't have those, except for either shop for boys or home economics for girls. Both genders could forgo the sexist alternatives and take Distributive Ed (learning in an office or retail environment).

But I hear today about kids being offered class in psych, comparative religion, comparative literature, not to mention the plethora of STEM subjects and I'm jealous. We had none of that back in my day. Of course, if it's all draped in anti-woke, nazi americanization politics and extremist christian fervor, it'll probably have lost any advantage it once gave students. Luckily, all my kids and grandkids are out of school now. But I don't like where my tax dollars are going!
