It’s been 14 years since our youngest graduated from high school. Much has changed in the public-school arena just in the last decade. None of our children were faced with critical race theory or gender politics in the classroom. I didn’t worry about what they were reading in literature classes.

I’m thankful that our three grown children are out of the education system, but now we have four young grandbabies, four fresh young minds just starting out, and it’s worrisome given the current climate of classrooms across the country.
