Further Evidence that Government Education is not working as well as it should

Government Schools (aka Public Schools) are wasting a lot of our childrens' time. I've known for a long time that the focus of school isn't so much education as it is indoctrination - Indoctricnation into everything liberal. Unfortunately, liberalism isn't too keen on self-reliance or of individualism. The focus is on "group think," on "group identity" and government-reliance. This article is a good read and demonstrates how the engine, that was education, has left the tracks.

I'm thinking that Mercedes, BMW and Volvo have been doing the sports wagons for many years. And Chrysler/Dodge had one too, not so long ago.

What is new or different this time?

No new tax = a new fee; Unemployed = discouraged worker

As with so many items coming out of Washington these days, when you aren't happy with the way something actually is, just change the definition. This is more and more disturbing.
