Yes, that is the American way or should I say the World way, schools are there to brainwash the kids to be acceptable at all times, just look at who sits on the Boards today, a bunch of flimsy socially correct people that care more about their way than learning.

Catholic school was the same way, that is probably one of the reasons I don't believe in a God, I seen how the system worked from the beginning, they didn't care if you were right or wrong they just cared if your family gave them their money and that you sucked up and believed everything they told you, the classic is a friend of mine standing in front of the classroom (5th Grade) with the Principal (Nun) and getting smacked about 3 times in the face (not little ones either) for farting in church a couple of minutes ago, the joke is that he wasn't even the one that did it, once they make up their mind that you're the one, that's it you're done.

Oh yeah and what ever happened to "no kids left behind", just a bunch of fluffy bullshit talk. Just like now.
