I think that Europe is still living in the 1970's, where all that pablum was all there was, except for some subversive literature. One of my regrets is that I never thanked Jim Baen for Galaxy Magazine and Jerry Pournelle during high school. It was Jerry that saved me.

Abolish the DOE. And implement education vouchers. Public schools would need vouchers to fund themselves, so if they can't attract students, they shut down. Public school advocates are terrified of parents choosing schools that actually teach kids instead of brainwashing them.
