This is a comment on the news team going after the school system. The Government is in command. They need to lower the level of education to keep people in check. With out sourcing common place, the only way we can compete is to lower wages. Lowering peoples level of education will bring down the wages. High School education is now like Junior High School training. College education is no more than a 12th grade education unless you add more years to complete a Masters degree and still I have seen they are no more capable than what the High Schools were turning out in the 60's. Lack of education means more control for the government. Can't believe the Wire did not go after this. May be to deep. Pete Watched part of Bill Moyer’s interview with Mr. Simon.

I did not even want to click on your video to watch Mr. Simon because I didn't want to miss one word this man said as I watched my tee vee. That's how much this man enthralls me with his observations. I’m watching Bill Moyers journal with David Simon as I write this.
