I agree with you completely. Our education system is broken. Do you know where our books are tested and where they must pass before the rest of us get them? Texas, one of the dumbest states in the Union. Texas uses an indoctrination process to dumb down the entire nation. It's not necessary since republicans also have fox and talk show hosts who tell them what to think and when to think it.

This link is old but I'm almost sure it's still accurate. Btw, a lot of states are trying to get books that didn't go through the dumbing down process from Texans.

"No matter where you live, if your children go to public schools, the textbooks they use were very possibly written under Texas influence. If they graduated with a reflexive suspicion of the concept of separation of church and state and an unexpected interest in the contributions of the National Rifle Association to American history, you know who to blame."
