On fighting Terror at the expense of Education

 

In addition to the basic corruption of education in America, blind children are definitely being left behind.  But they are not alone.  Despite the efforts to raise the level of education in America, minority children and those living in poverty are being underserved.  If we insisted that our public schools be on a par with the private schools used by the wealthy, we would be one step in the right direction.  Of course the problem of education goes much deeper than merely providing smaller classes, modern facilities and the latest in teaching materials.  Teaching children to believe in themselves and in their ability to fully participate in America would be a basic beginning.  Then we would need a nation that really truly offers equal opportunity to all. 

Oh well, perhaps after we finish making America safe from Terror we can begin to examine our own problems.
