". . .educational opportunities should be guaranteed."
-Carni


The children within the United Stated are being instructed to participate in superfluous actistivies in school as a substitute for academic enterprise. By which I mean arts and crafts, music, sports, drama and vocational preperation. Furthermore, parents are being encouraged to foster an interest in such activities, for the sake of structured supervision, in order to see their children recieve a well rounded education. As a result, we now have entire generations of children with impaired reading skills can neither think critically nor express themselves verbally or in writing. They lack sufficient knowledge of their own nation's history, do not have understanding enough to descriminate between one form of government and the next and largely know nothing of the geography of our nation or the world, leaving them devoid of much needed factual information. With severely limited exposure to math and science, they are further robbed of a factual knowledge base needed to simply survive in modern world.

Now really Carni, education like that is no education at all, and I believe that crippling ignorance is an equal oppourtunity lender, but if you want to make it more accessible to others, by all means, advocate away.
