We read where a lack of education is causing our national catastrophe and is a part of the ruling party's plan. Maybe so. But I think that kids are learning. Depending on the source of their education, they receive such tidbits as:
The universe came about in six days at the hands of a mighty Deity of unknown origin some 6,000 years ago.
Gender is a meaningless designation that should left to the choice of a pre-teen.
Understanding computers is the dominant achievement of the modern world.
And many useful things about being a financial and social success in life.
What they don't learn is to cognitively process such questions as: If A equals B and B equals C, does A equal C?
