I agree, however, what you say makes my point. Education is just a symptom of a deeper problem. Conservative Christians, like myself, have stood by and allowed our country to sink to this level. Please understand, I am blaming you and the rest of the Freepers just as much as I blame myself and all of the Christian Conservatives I know. It is my fault and all right thinking citizens’ fault for not standing up and stopping this nonsense a long, long time ago. We may be to the point, as others have suggested, of doing away with the entire idea of public school and starting over with something new. Maybe it is even time for individual states to secede from the union and have two separate countries. I am sick to my core when I think of what my country has become.
The federal government has made it clear that it won’t tolerate secession; the fact is that one of those two countries would desperately need the assets of the other to provide every basic necessity and do all the real work.
