Never mind limiting immigration, four years of this will make the US a place nobody <i>wants</i> to come to.<br /><br />Americans have a disturbing unwillingness to learn from the successes of others. It's true that the quality of US education (below university level) is wildly uneven and generally poor. But look at the countries which do the best in that area. Their educational systems are funded and controlled by the central government. Local control and funding from local sources (which ensures that the poorest areas get the worst schools) is a weakness, not a strength. And the countries with the best systems teach real science and modern sex education, uncluttered by Biblical nonsense.Infidel753https://www.blogger.com/profile/10965786814334886696noreply@blogger.com
