"class...managing money"

They should also have to take a class by senior year of hs about free-market economics and how it has benefited the world and made America great.

Amen. I could foresee a big problem though in that there would not be enough people available who could teach the needed courses. I took a course several years ago at one of our local junior colleges on economics. Taught by a Vietnamese fellow who had taken $25 given to him by his parents when he was a teen and turned it into a substantial amount of money by bottling and selling orange juice. Best teacher I ever had and certainly a whole lot better than any I had through my 6 years of college. Interestingly this instructor did not have a college degree of any kind so he would not be permitted to teach in the public school system. Life’s lessons are often the best teachers.
