The statement at left is interesting, isn’t it?
Even the best, most liberal-minded private K – 12 institutions have required courses that ensure that graduates have a certain level of proficiency in reading, writing, math, history, and the sciences regardless of the pupil’s interest in those subjects.
There are kids graduating from our local high school who can’t tell you where Wisconsin is or what language they speak there. I don’t think anyone is OK with that.
On the other hand, a kid whose interests are origami or auto repair need to be supported as well. It’s not a black and white issue.
When I was young, I heard someone say, “The first execution this country televises will be the last one ever performed here.”
I think he was right at that time. You’d have millions of people watch that barbarism and realize that it was done in their name.
But today, we’re a far more insensitive, brutal, and stupid people that we were 50 years ago. If you doubt that, just look at the quality of the people at the top of the federal government–people like RFK, Jr., Hegseth, and Trump.
As suggested at left, the world will never forget that the launch pad for all the destruction during Trump’s second term was our nation’s failure to prosecute the criminal sociopath for his attempted overthrow of the U.S. federal government on January 6, 2021.
Had these acts of treason been dealt with swiftly, all of this would have been avoided.
The answer will probably surprise you.
