17. I didn't say that, you did
And I speak of the need for national standards BECAUSE of the Texas education curriculum debacle.

"Education is far too complex to be boiled down to simple trite solutions." ??? What does that even mean? We're talking about the best educational minds in the country setting up a curriculum and set of standards that all 50 states will abide by. Is that simple? Trite? Me no think so... Whatever the exact content that will be taught I have no idea. But I have a lot more faith in a national standard than a group of 10 conservative right wingers in the state of Texas.
