We have long discussed how educators are instilling viewpoint intolerance in students from the earliest grades. The latest example is the cancellation of a visit to McKinley Elementary School in Fairfield, Connecticut, by Secretary of Education Linda McMahon.

The students had the opportunity to speak and interact with a cabinet member, but the school cancelled the event due to political opposition from parents.

Reports indicated that the visit, part of McMahon's "History Rocks" tour in celebration of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, was cancelled due to a campaign by parents.
