Yes. And they will be denied any form of education as a result. It is unconscionable

We all lose. The country loses because without intelligent people we end up putting everyone’s lives at risk. Stupidity will be the death of us all.

Excellent point. What's that famous quote? The price of an education society is far cheaper than ignorance?

I miss precedented times, when diplomats met and had adult conversations and agreements were reached. When the 5 o'clock news on every channel reported the facts, without endless commentary. When we all believed in facts and science.

There were only two decades in my life where it was halfway decent to be alive. The 70’s and the 90’s. Every time a Republican weasels his way into the White House everything reverts back, it seems like decades. I’m just waiting till this boiling pot gets to the point where we’re all going to see a bunch of Luigi wannabes take actions into their own hands.
