Some on this board look at "Our Government" as something to be destroyed; and as far as teaching the lessons of this video in school... They want school to be optional. Only for those who can afford it.

Destroyed is a little strong language. That's what you did in Vietnam and our military is doing across the Middle East. Scaled back to where the federal government has no involvement in my life would be a better description.
Oh, and look at literacy rates for colonial America, much higher than with the government indoctrination centers. Go encourage your family members to send their kids to DC or Chicago schools. Please don't tell me their failures are from lack of funding. These schools have multi million dollar sport complexes like college campuses. I guess that is so when the poor inner city kids receive their poor education, at least they are in shape to be recruited into the military to kill the governments perpetual enemy.

If I were to ask Cissy what he had on his toast this morning... His answer would contain a phrase about Vietnam. The poor man. Obsession is such an ugly thing.

Poor school districts??? Where are the poorest school districts in the USA?
The 5 poorest school districts are (of course) all in RED STATES. 5 Texas (RP's Home State) 4 & 3 Mississippi #2 poorest and THE #1 POOREST SCHOOL DISTRICT IN THE USA... why in Rand Paul's Kentucky (OF COURSE).

Prose literacy - The knowledge and skills needed to perform prose tasks, (i.e., to search, comprehend and use continuous texts). Examples include editorials, news stories, brochures and instructional materials.

Yes, the obsession about killing innocent people in a far away land in my name is misplaced. I should be obsessing about gay marriage or a war on women. Who cares about the millions killed by the federal military. Free contraception is where my focus should be.

Lol, New York has more illiterate people than those poor poor poor red states.

(Cissy is trying to sneak one by us here ) What does "Lacking Basic prose literacy" measure?
Quoted Text
Adults in the Below Basic group and those not able to take the assessment because of a language barrier are classified as lacking Basic Prose Literacy Skills (BPLS). The percentage of those who lack BPLS reflects the magnitude of the adult household population at the lowest level of English literacy. The literacy of adults who lack BPLS ranges from being unable to read and understand any written information to being able only to locate easily identifiable information in short, commonplace prose text in English, but nothing more advanced. For the indirect estimates, adults who were not able to take the assessment because of a language barrier are included.
So... if there were a PHD in math, a Nuclear physicist and a Medical Doctor who were all fluent in another language but only spoke rudimentary English... they would be considered in Cissy's list of "Lacking Basic prose literacy" I would guess that much of the United Nations ambassadors in NYC would be consider in the same group.

So the choice is one or the other??? One is important, the other is trivial???
Then we should all pay attention to US wars abroad, and completely ignore any other problem, (Taxes, Crime, Big Government) until all US wars abroad are ended. Only then is it permissible to mention any other issue. LMAO! Dufus!

Look, if you pay $5,000 in school tax, and that is good- then just double it to $10,000 and that will make the kids twice as smart. Liberal math.
"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."

Yes, free birth control is much more important than the US foreign policy of population control in the Middle East. Clinton starving Iraqis from basic medicine and food, and we are trying the same sanctions on Iran with the same desired affects. And lets not forget our drone policy to control the "terrorist" population in the Middle East.
I should really stop obsessing about hundreds of thousands of dead foreigners as a result of US foreign policy. War on women is much more devistating.
We spend pretty good in Schenectady. If money could do it, everybody here would be not just literate, but highly educated. Obama would not deign to send his children to public school, he blamed the schools for not being good enough for his darlings. Um, fix it! No, they don't want their kids to rub elbows with icky poor kids. That's the truth.
