I'd expect this article from the Des Moines register to inspire colorful apoplexy at The Corner:
"Urbandale High School students went to school without books this week. Instead, they studied 1960s war protest songs, baseball statistics, Kenyan dances and potential careers."
Students were reportedly also taught how to do laundry. Back to basics indeed.
Posted by Marie Gryphon on January 20, 2004Is "Urbandale" funny to anyone else?
Posted by: Yarn on January 20, 2004 9:42 PMHey Marie. I didn't call you back because I was in New York City just like I said I would be. Are you going to still be in DC this weekend?
Posted by: Lane on January 21, 2004 1:10 PMOkay, fine! Damn these written records. :) Yes, I'll be here. Give a call when you get back.
Posted by: Marie on January 21, 2004 1:56 PMYeah, but no doubt next week they'll study nationalist hymns, foxhunting, and Balanchine.
I forensicized at some competititions UHS, and kicked much ass.
