I honestly didn’t know that, as Pink Floyd said, hey teacher, leave those kids alone

On both sides, because once they enter into the real world and start figuring out how the world works, they will go to the conservative side all by themselves

Common sense #1 = if you want your child to have a religious education then you should send them to a private school and pay for it yourself.

If you have I missed them. Just a simple list would be fine. Unless you’re scared of be pinned down by it.

EG:

Look both ways before you cross the road.
Be kind to others.

I'm a little disappointed that you missed the reference to life lessons from The Jerk. Run those by your son and see if he gets them.

Years ago, my roommates and I always added "open the flue, then start the fire" because one failed to do that once.

Sowell should be beamed up in every high school and college in the United States of America!!!
