LMAO!!! Did the Indians help build them?

The Puritan settlers not the pilgrims built the first public school in America 15 years after the Mayflower. In addition to building the first school these communist liberals as you call them, had a strange obsession with hunting Quakers. They also banned Quakers from their colony and presumably from the school. They also saw no problem with mixing theocracy and democracy much like most of the muslim world. They hung woman in the public square and unlike the muslim world that led to their extinction. America was great even back then.
