It's nice when we find something to agree about. While we may not see eye-to-eye on the issue of religion in general, the pernicious influence of fundamentalism has pushed a severely damaged educational system even further into decay. I find it hard to attribute the failures of the American education system to any kind of grand conspiracy, but I completely agree that people raised on TV and fundamentalism are a lot easier to manipulate.
