How long before science and other STEM programs are dropped in schools and colleges?
The path towards making the American populace as dumbed down as possible is obvious.
Let's hope that as the US enters a Dark Ages ruled by lords and cloaked in the shield of religion, that the rest of the world can keep the fires of learning and progress alive.
I do hope that our many brilliant people living here can find a good refuge elsewhere - perhaps only temporary while the magats feast on the remains here.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
