Public Schools

Education can educate us or indoctrinate us.
Is the latter what is currently taking place?
One might discern America's school system is deteriorating when those individuals who successfully fulfill the necessary requirements to acquire a diploma do not possess the ability to think logically. I recently discovered in an October 2014 Fox News poll that 84 percent of Americans believed President Obama deceives from time to time concerning important issues. This brings to light that a mere 16 percent of us believe he tells the truth. This has no logic considering in a Fox News Poll taken in 2014, there was an excess of 40 percent of Americans who approve of him.
This indicates nearly a quarter of Americans either do not care if the president is a liar concerning important issues, or they are merely so inadequately educated or conditioned they are incapable of reasoning logically. Either mode is a feeble tribute for our education system.
There are numerous additional surveys procured over the past years exemplifying a similar outcome. As you will realize, I am not a huge enthusiast of polls; however, I do pay attention to individuals in the community, when their comments overwhelmingly substantiate those conclusions. Individuals pronounce their belief that President Obama is executing his responsibilities inadequately when it purports to the economy, health care, jobs, and foreign policy, especially the military and how he has handled terrorism and the Middle East. In spite of that, they pronounce him as a good president.
Americans have ceased questioning the government and its politicians. We allow the media to be our proxy, and the majority of them perform dreadfully. One of the reasons America developed into a nation in the first place was taxes were excessive, and nowadays we actually vote for additional taxes. I speculate our Founding Fathers are turning over in their graves.
How many of us realize that the US Supreme Court or the state supreme courts are not allowed to create law? It actually could be labeled treason if it transpires. This was why Thomas Jefferson detested the higher courts; he discerned they could literally usurp that responsibility effortlessly.
