Each time I hear news about the education in this country, I die a little, knowing I just came out of it not long ago 
But it's a total travesty. It's like it's so mangled up, it can't be called education anymore, but plain old indoctrination, and any child who disagrees is drugged up and then indoctrinated. So FUBAR that it can't be touched, because no sane person would agree that this is the kind of education we'd like our kids to have.
And to top it all off, you can't opt-out. I once tried, but the only kind of home-schooling my parents could find and afford was of the Christian sort. They tried to tell me I couldn't read Harry Potter because "witchcraft is a product of Satan"

Yet, forget to mention that Satan is a product of God. Jesus's brother, if I'm not mistaken. Need to dust off one of Mark Twain's book to make sure.
