Reading, 'Riting, and Robert Hall

Here's a column by Greg Crosby about going back-to-school shopping in the good old days. He ends this way:
"Robert Hall clothing stores are long gone - having bit the dust around 1977. The catchy little back to school jingle is no more. The store and the jingle were pure Americana. While I feel a tinge of nostalgia for the jingle, the greater loss by far is the lack of teaching pro-American culture in our public schools. Teaching patriotism and American history has been, for the most part, tossed out along with the back to school jingle many years ago."
