It’s a silly question, but not too silly to be debated in the public school system in Portland, Oregon. Believe it or not, there are public school officials (let’s not sully the teaching profession by calling them educators) who argue that it is racist to use PB&J sandwiches as examples in school lessons. This is more evidence that the political correctness run amok in public schools necessitates a move toward school choice. No parent should be forced by virtue of their zip code, economic bracket, or other circumstances to send their children to a school that teaches such hogwash. Just because this incident originates from Oregon let’s not pretend this sort of thing doesn’t, can’t, or won’t happen in Texas.
School choice is, among other good things, the cure for the plague of political correctness in public education.
