By all means, lets pander to the base element and extol the cowpie as a Great Good Thing. We don't want these kids to grow up alienated, now do we? But just how are they supposed to know otherwise if we do not have the strength and will to teach them?

From the gooberment's point of view,it may be dangerous for these kids to actually learn how to think. They are already being educated at the level the gooberment needs them to be educated at in order for them to become employees of the "North American Union".

Sadly, you are right. By North American Union, I take it you are referring to our new status as a mere region under the leadership of the UN, those all knowing all seeing all wise leaders who have done so much in all they have touched....like in Africa.
No one seems to care that our children are dumber than posts...officially, anyway. The pliant masses fed on soy mix and video circuses can't even murmur in protest as the last vestiges are usurped by the UN and the liberty bell is housed in some museum in China.
