Addressing the important issues!
We've got to do something, Buck, about our schools. You may have pretty
decent elementary and high schools up there in Fairfield, IA, but what's
going on in some inner-city schools like in Detroit or Newark, is
downright gawd awful! Our public education system is in a crises and is
totally out of control and under the control of teacher unions. The
students are killing each other in our public schools with rampant drug
use, violence, and gang activity. If I had any kids of school age I
would take them out of the public school system tomorrow and put them in
at least a Waldorf School, even if I had to work two jobs to pay for it.
I am not exaggerating!
You live up there where it's all mostly nice and peaceful, with decent
people all around. But you would probably be appalled if you saw what's
going on in some downtown Chicago schools. Don't get me started, Buck.
If we don't do something soon, the next generation is going to be doomed
to failure. Practicing TM or any kind of meditation or silent prayer for
a few minutes a day is a proven way to reduce crime and violence -
anyone would be a fool to ignore the benefits of a consciousness-based
education. Seriously.
