“No matter what though, there's always rock & roll. There's rock 'n' roll in hip-hop, there's rock & roll in pop music, there's rock 'n' roll in soul, there's rock 'n' roll in country. When you see people dress and their style has an edge to it, that rebellious edge that bubbles up in every genre, that's rock & roll.

“Until the Left took over American public education in the second half of the 20th century, it was generally excellent - look at the high level of eighth-grade exams from early in the 20th century and you will weep. The more money the Left has gotten for education - America now spends more per student than any country in the world - the worse the academic results. And the Left has removed God and dress codes from schools - with socially disastrous results.” WorldLooksCountrySchoolAmericaLeftLevelsResultsHalfCenturyStudentsDressesCodeExcellentGradesAcademicMore Money20th CenturyHigh LevelExamPublic EducationEighth GradeDress Code Author:Dennis Prager
