"I told my children western education is forbidden.
Might as well sell what's left of your Ritalin"
I'm gonna have to say WORD. Sad that we put kids on prescription drugs in attempt to force them to pay attention to whatever non-sense they are trying to program into the child's head, rather than reviewing the actual information that's being taught and seeking better methods of delivery. DP told me in '98 "they schools ain't teach us shit" and it appears it has only gotten much worse since then.
On a side note, glad to see it get talk about a little bit at the SOTU. Although, I don't think anyone will ever admit how truly horrific it actually is, and how much actual damage this has created to the future of humanity. Guess time will have to tell whether we can fix this one or not. Uphill battle is an understatement
