California’s latest mathematics framework draft demands that educators across the state must “teach toward social justice” during math class.

It hasn’t been only the result of ethics-challenged democrats, because we had George H.W. and George W. mixed in there for 12 of the 28 years. Explanations of those two not required for Def-Con News readers. No. Perhaps America should be grateful for the magnanimous leaders we have had approximately every fifth president. This theory takes us from Trump, back to Reagan, to JFK, to Coolidge, and to McKinley.  How does this look? Republicans all, except JFK. Does my theory pass the stink test?
