Isn't it obvious that many of those who are in positions to govern are drunk with their own power. Through the educational system, they have corrupted the minds of the citizenry. Now they are in a position to do whatever they desire, in the name of various causes, and "we the people" are too numb and ignorant to see this clearly. If, in a truly unbiased fashion, people studied these things out they would be moved in the right direction. It amazes me that people who are able to pull their own socks on in the morning continue to defend things that are not working, have never worked, and the rotten results are all around them for everyone to see.
One example is the public school/religion issue. It seems some are ignorant or unwilling to see that religion is taught in public schools, it is just selective. Religion of different cultures is taught in our public schools all the time, whether implicit or explicit. Definition of religion: a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith. The precedent to base policy on a "letter" and interpretation instead of the Constitution, in 1947, goes unnoticed, yet various religions are still taught in public schools. Even a cursory review of the ALA recommended reading would provide examples. Regardless of which side of the issue, this is selective and biased. Perhaps a removal of all things "religious" might be a step in the right direction. With reading, writing and math skills missing in epidemic proportions so is teaching of rudimentary academics. If we can't agree to teach our children to read, write, and compute better, then it's apparent that the real interest is not in these objectives but an interest elsewhere.
