Thank you Greg for your excellent article in Counterpunch…education…equality…some,
many feel america has never had anything close to either…I am one of the
many…
Classism, class-discrimination, hatred, violence, war, pollutions, depleted
uranium, the system by the rich for the rich, represented by the rich…and all that star spangled
B.S……
Keep writing Greg…

If you’re concerned about
Education, Children, Society, please read John Taylor Gatto’s magnum opus, The Underground History of
American Education. It’s about $30, or free on the Web at http://www.johntaylorgatto.com . The educational
system is so structured as to nullify, by pre-framing, any arguments for or against busing, or any
other issues within public education as it exists–in fact, it only serves to maintain and further the
objectives of the current power structure. At least you care–most people seem to just be watching the
lobotomy box, and consuming whatever they see and hear there.
Thanks, and peace,

Philosophy of Education. Reminds me that the most elegant solution to great education remains: hire
good teachers and keep them at all cost!–gm]
