Thank you, thank you, thank you, for posting this most FASCINATING article showing Dr. Spudis' testimony! This is a "must read" for anyone who wants to see our country flourish in the future as a technological, educational, and economic superpower.

I had the same reaction. It says so much!

In your desperate search for obviousness, you fail to miss my point.

I fail to miss your point? If you mean what I think you mean, missing the point is exactly what you have done.

The problem is not only among Black students, all students in our schools get the idea that to study is not 'cool' and it's 'nerdy'. They get these inputs from the media which potray intelligent folks as idiots (take any school drama and the coolest kids aren't the ones who read, they're hte 'populars' or the 'sportie' types) We're going to end up a nation of idiots, too dumb to say anything besides 'Want fries with that?'
