This country spends more on education than most countries in the world combined. Yet for all the money, talk, and hype on education, America ranks at the bottom of the industrial world in biology, geology, ancient history, geography, etc.

This has more to do with liberals who dominate our public school system than it does with religious types. The liberals have destroyed and dumbed down education to the point where it is today. Whether through incompetence or by design, I do not know. But a dumbed down population is much easier to control and that is what the liberals are all about...control.

The largest group of well-educated children in America, who will stand comparison to any group in the world, are those who are being home-schooled, mostly by (wait for it) those this author would classify as fundamentalists.
