They decided a more open format might create a better learning environment, vs just teaching kids to pass at east. Ie they wanted to engage the kids brains not brainwash them.

There was no re-write of history or change in what was taught, they just decided to try and teach a different way.. This is a partly what you call liberalism..


Meanwhile, the Republican National Committee (RNC) created a mandate on "changing" education on the local level, by pushing pro patriotism, pushing pro free market agenda and down playing the bad stuff like slavery, civil disobedience and so forth.

The Conservatives then targeted the next election in Jefferson country and won the local school board elections. They then went head first I to rewriting the school curriculum to align with the new RNC mandate. By doing this they brought a political agenda to the schools where there had been none before..

This caused the teachers,students and parents to act together and walk out of the schools.

Yet somehow to you it's all the liberals fault as some how the liberal forced the conservatives to write mandate and then attempt to push it at the local levels..
