"After more than three years of combat and nearly 2,400 U.S. military
deaths in Iraq, nearly two-thirds of Americans aged 18 to 24 still
cannot find Iraq on a map, a study released Tuesday showed. The study
found that less than six months after Hurricane Katrina devastated New
Orleans and the Gulf Coast, 33 percent could not point out Louisiana on
a U.S. map."

What's Bush's excuse? There weren't any computer games during his teen

Nice snip, Barwell. The story was about how teachers unions shot down
Florida's school voucher program on the grounds that sending kids to a
better school meant that it wasn't giving them a "uniform" education.
Uniformly *BAD*.

Texas, last in education, first in prison executions, is this working
for you?
- Kinky Friedman, candidate foer Texas governor.

Misleading, of course, because the governor of Texas does not have the
power to commute the sentence of execution unless recommended by the
parole board.

"[T]he illiteracy level of our children are appalling."--George W. Bush,
Washington, D.C., Jan 23, 2004
"I want it to be said that the Bush administration was a
results-oriented administration, because I believe the results of
focusing our attention and energy on teaching children to read and
having an education system that's responsive to the child and to the
parents, as opposed to mired in a system that refuses to change, will
make America what we want it to be--a literate country and a hopefuller
country."--George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., Jan. 11, 2001.
"Reading is the basics for all learning."--George W. Bush, announcing
his "Reading First" initiative, Reston, VA, March 28, 2000.
"We want our teachers to be trained so they can meet the obligations,
their obligations as teachers. We want them to know how to teach the
science of reading, in order to make sure there's not this
federal--federal cufflink." --George W. Bush, at Fritsche Middle School
in Milwaukee, WI, March 23, 2000.
"Science of reading," huh? And finally, my personal favorite:
"Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?"--George W.
Bush, Florence, SC, Jan. 11, 2000.

over evolution, such results are not surprising.

Even more disturbing was some years back a poll showed that 25% believed
that the sun revolved around the earth.

It's a damn shame and it's getting worse. And the anti science and anti
intellectual attitude of the present government isn't helping either.

Public education was dismantled decades ago by Bush I. Reason: So
American workers can compete with the Chinese.

Yeah. The way things are going pretty soon the Chinese will own us. Then
ignorant americans will be the cheap source of labor to make stuff for
them in sweatshops over here. BusCo and their buddies will just sit back
and count their cut.

Why teach them? Then they'd be smart enough to avoid being enslaved as
soldiers for the GOP's illegal, unjustified war.
