Man! I leave for a minute, and come back to bump the thread, only to find out it's flying along! How gratifying to see so many FReepers willing to pitch in and get this project off the ground!

Folks, we'll be having a meeting soon to plan our strategy, but suffice it to say that at this point, we've got some pretty ambitious plans, including newsletters, alumni and student polls, and other monitoring activities that will expose the Beast at work.

I suspect we'll have to keep the scope fairly limited to begin with, so that we don't go galloping off wildly in all directions. But there'll be plenty to do, and everyone will be welcome to lend a hand.

There are few issues more critical than this one. We've lost an entire generation of children who can't read, write, or tell the capital of their own state. They are isolated from their own history, and consequently, their own heritage. But they know how to slip a condom on a cucumber, and can recite whole litanies about Kwanzaa.

It's an outrage, and it must be stopped before we lose America. While we'll concentrate primarily on the post-secondary market, we won't be drawing any arbitrary lines. There are exciting challenges in this battle, and we're ready to suit up and join the fray!

Thanks everybody for the warm reception!

I'm so thankful to read this from you. I guess I had felt the problem was so huge and without a real battle nothing could be done. Now you are going to organize and take the battle to them. That's so exciting to hear. I'm so proud of you all. I don't know how much I can help, but I sure want to encourage and be part of it. I'll FReepmail.
