American heroes, like our founding fathers and Christopher Columbus, have been villainized by left-wing public school curriculum for decades. Phyllis Schlafly knew that this teaches an anti-American worldview to young, impressionable children. Through progressive social platforms of teachers unions and textbooks written by far-left academics, public schools have been a hotbed of anti-American messaging. Phyllis Schlafly advocated for parental rights in education, local control of public schools, and school choice to give parents and communities a way to fight against this indoctrination. Parents and local communities should have the most influence on our schools because, as Phyllis Schlafly said, "control of public school curriculum is a very desirable prize for those who seek to control the future."
