Yup. And it only gets worse, in between the PC bullshit and the injection of dark ages philosophy as a replacement for science. Between the lefties and the ignoratii (not mutually exclusive groups, mind you), the public system is going down the toilet. Turn it private (with vouchers) and we can watch the groups learning reality get ahead (while not being dragged down) and the other groups drown.

As an added bonus, the nanny-staters and those looking for cultural welfare handouts will put on an entertaining show.
