It is our rotten public education system that is our downfall. John Taylor Gatto has not gotten much mention lately on this site, but for anyone who has not read him, his very insightful book can be read online. He makes a point that citizens of colonial times were better read than most today who have been through our education system.

There can be no doubt of it! Young people today are mostly UNREAD! We have millions walking around with no idea how the nation came into being or how it is SUPPOSED TO BE governed! We live in the information age and the most important information of all is ignored and forgotten!
