I wonder sometimes if someone did distroy the education establishment in the US. Have you ever read Future Shock? Some of the things about education reform in that book seem to have been implemented in schools.
I'm going to go explore the millinery qualities of aluminum foil now.
I haven't read Future Shock, but I have seen excerpts from articles and books that strongly suggested the decline in our educational system was by design.
There is no question that our public education has been perverted to further the causes of socialism. About 2.5 million children are currently being homeschooled with good to excellent results.
