As a boomer, I have to agree that much of the problem is our generation. We chose going out and getting high paying jobs and left education to the rest. Nikita Khrushchev, the Soviet leader said, "We will take America without firing a shot." Khrushchev knew the key was controlling the US was to control what they learned and "knew." The Left was happy to fill the void in the educational system. Khrushchev wasn't the only one to think that way either. Until we reclaim education, we have a problem.
