Some critics of modern education claim that when history, political science and economics became "social studies," the dumbing-down of America began.
Conservatives just want a turn
If there’s one thing liberal pundits are experts on these days it’s the sorry state of conservatism. The airwaves and op-ed pages brim with more-in-sorrow-than-in-anger lamentations on the GOP’s failure to get with President Obama’s program, the party’s inevitable demographic demise and its thralldom to the demonic deities of the right — Limbaugh, Beck, Palin.
