p>This is just an outrage. I was in high school in the 60’s. No
teacher of any student I ever knew used the Beatles or the Rolling
Stones as teaching tools in English class. Kids don’t need to be
“educated in youth culture.” They are saturated with it. What they
need is exposure to things other than their own little world.

If the educators in California teach that crap heaven help us. The
'60s are the dark ages. Just look at the Broadway scene in New
York. All the musicals are revivals . I have yet to find any
original creations in the arts or theater. How sad to learn that
the best in literature is incomprehensible for the sows we call our
youth.

Florida is having a difficult time finding enough teachers to staff its public schools in this rapidly growing state — grownups having little more interest in wasting their time in and around public school campuses than do students. So the question has arisen: Should people who have not jumped through all the teacher certification hoops — including mostly being anesthetized and ideologized in schools of education — be allowed to teach?
