I suppose you can take Winston Churchill out of the British schools. I suppose it's attributable to the schools being run by people who have interests---and agendas---of their own.

It happens here, too. Once at a small family gathering, the name of Paul Revere came up. From their answers, the older relatives figured the youngsters really had no idea who Paul Revere was. Not the facts, not the legends, no "listen my children and you shall hear," nothing.

p>We went through all the "what are they teaching in their schools?" attitudes and positions, but in the end, wound up with only sadness. And worry. If they don't know Paul Revere, who's next? And just what are they teaching in the schools? br> -- Robert Nowall br> Cape Coral, Florida
