There does seem to be a trend as you mentioned in the state of
Wisconsin. Our Department of Instruction sent out a survey and
it came back with technology, work, and sex as the top three
priorities for schools. The survey was sent out to primarily
parents and upset both the Republicans and Democrats. The
Democrats were concerned that humanities were not high on the
list and the Republicans were concerned that sex education had
such a high priority.
