Devolution of Curriculum

A brilliant meme recently posted to social media perfectly captured how the counterculture movement promoted by liberals has transformed public education from actual education into progressive indoctrination.

For instance, during most of the 20th century, math class used to be about actual math, even if the courses became progressively less challenging for increasingly sensitive students. These days, it tends to be more about social issues such as racism, discrimination, environmentalism and so-called Islamophobia.

So whereas a math problem in the past stuck to the basics, a Common Core math problem in the present focuses on all the wrong things.
