I have no doubt of the problems Michael Deshaies mentions in his NRO piece today on colleges’ scandalous failure to teach American history and civics. But I was cheered a little bit at back-to-school night for my 7th grader – I opened his new history textbook bracing for the usual dreck, but to my surprise the very first page was headlined “Honoring America,” complete with flag etiquette, the Pledge of Allegiance, and the national anthem. I didn’t know that was even still allowed in public school.
