The Forces of Darkness Are on the March 1
Battles over the increasingly popular global education program known as International Baccalaureate have been popping up in towns across the country. Most recently, a school district in the Pittsburgh suburbs abolished the program after some members questioned its politics and costs.
But supporters of the college-preparatory curriculum known as IB said efforts to quash the program are more about the politics of its detractors.
Since when is learning, since when is learning how to think critically, since when is learning how to analyze situations and draw conclusions somehow unAmerican?
The Know-Nothings are on parade.
God help us all.

Alright, so it’s rediculous that they want to get rid of IB… but IB itself is nearly as much so. So naah.
