Gates speaks about the sad state of Education in the U.S.

I have often thought that our educational system has been purposely "dumbed down" as to make sure that we do not question what is going on in the world and so that we as a nation can be "led down whatever path our government chooses to lead us down and we wont have the intelligence to question their motives for doing different things".

While the following story doenst exactly go in that direction, it does have many ideas for one to think about.

Some day I will write about the "purposeful dumbing down of education" by none other than the creater of what today is our "educational system". His name is familiar with anyone who has ever used a library card file.....his name was Thomas Dewey (of the Dewey Decimal System).

Read on for an interesting article where Bill Gates of Microsoft fame talks about the sad state of the educational system in the U.S. and how things need to be done so we as a country can remain competitive in this day and age.
