Default History being left behind ?

Interesting article on what's not being taught in schools or if it is it's not covered as much as it schould be.
Jobs-focused education leaves history in the dustbin - Yahoo! News

I just saw where Comifornia is outlawing flavored milk in school. Seems it has 130 calories in it and is causing our children to become fat. I guess it has nothing to do with the chicken nuggets or other processed foods they are getting on the tray.........


My wife is a teacher here in VA Beach and you should see the crap they feed the kids. McDonalds has a healthier menu.

Read that one a long time ago .
Maybe it's just me but why do I get the feeling that there are those who are intentionally dumbing down an entire generation ?
