BHR, yes my thick head doesn't see the nexus to that statement in your thread. But I'll bite and assert that your statement is blatantly false. Although there are serious problems with educational systems in inner cities and some struggling rural areas, the public education system in this country continues to produce well educated high school and upper level graduates. As a former school board trustee and continuing to volunteer in our small community school, and with a wife who is presently school board chair, I pay attention to what is happening at the classroom, district, county, state, and national level with education. Don't know of your involvement, but typically it is those (such as our now confirmed Secretary of Education) who are far removed from the reality of the current educational system, but who continue to listen to the talk radio sound bites bashing our educational system as well as all else, who are so blindly critical.Yes, this countries education system is failing.......
I urge you to stand down on that issue unless you know concretely of what you contend.
