Overview
A refreshing discussion of the events and social issues which have had an influence on public school education in the US. A well researched novel about the transformation of our public schools from 1949-2021. From the outlawing of America's favorite first-grade reader, "The Story of Little Black Sambo", to the forced instruction of critical race theory. It exposes the malfeasance and chicanery endemic in our nation's public schools. A shocking account of how children are used like pawns on a chess board by unscrupulous officials in charge of our schools. Very anecdotal in many instances based on the author's personal experiences and observations. A must read for anybody who cares about our nation's youth and the direction of our educational system.

About the author
Educator, historian, author, and advocate for better schools. From federal law enforcement to educator and taxpayer representative Bob has had an illustrious career. As a teacher, he single-handedly took on the teachers' unions, public school officials, and town bureaucrats, in a first of its kind legal and political battle to remove asbestos from the school building in which he had been a teacher. Additionally, Bob fought to eliminate toxic drinking water at the school. His actions led to the EPA regulation known as the Lead and Copper Rule. As a taxpayer representative, his highly popular tax seminar, "How to Beat the IRS at its Own Game", was instrumental in helping eliminate IRS harassment of taxpayers.
