Tolerance and Acceptance in the US

It has come to my attention, through none other than YouTube, that some people are very narrowminded and believe that nothing but math and science should be taught in our schools. The following is a back-and-forth I have been having with someone who felt the need to comment on a video of a student playing the national anthem at my school's Multi-Cultural Rally (I have edited the swearing that he seems to love using):

what the f*** is a "multi-cultural" rally????...do
these schools teach math and sciences anymore??

dobergirl101
yes, we just like to appreciate different cultures
during our rallies (which don't interfere with class time), instead of just
rooting for a sports team...our rallies are INTELLECTUAL

dallas1963
oh, that sounds so warm and cuddly...forget about
the d*** cultural, social c*** and start concentrating on math and
science!...this country is WAY behind on the stuff that really matters because
too much time is spent on touchy, feeling social engineering c*** like a
multi-cultural" rally

For what it's worth, we have 3 people going to UCLA from
my class alone, not to mention three at UC Berkeley! And I got a 2010 on my
SATs, my friend got 2350 out of 2400, what was your score? And you say schools
aren't teaching us anything? Well guess what? One of their jobs is to teach us
TOLERANCE, something you obviously don't know the meaning of.
He has yet to reply to my lastest response. How do you all feel about this? Please let me know. And feel free to check out the video or leave Mr. Dallas1963 some love on YouTube.
