“The school as a means of education to me was simply a blank.”

A blank would be better than the progressive crap taught in most colleges today.

Okay, that's nice. Different strokes for different folks. Many of the basics (math, reading/writing, science, history, etc.) in lesser and lesser degrees are being taught among ever increasing dogmas preferred by the occupying statist theocracy infesting this land. To the personal likes and dislikes of Darwin he would here have to give a further definition of "blank".
