In what is rapidly becoming a post literate American society, I thought you might want to take a few minutes and watch an exceptional video that puts the present lack of an excellent and relevant 21st century model for public education into an historical and philosophical context, while offering a few suggestions as to how we might survive this fundamental crisis of American society. After viewing it, you might comment on whether or not you share my belief that the very future of this country as anything that even remotely resembles a democracy will be determined by whether or not we meet this challenge and succeed in educating all of our people to their highest potential..
In so doing, I would hope that you might better assume the requisite and imperative role of an engaged citizen of a democratic society to comprehend, contribute, and be part of the aggregation of all people's wisdom that is the real strength of any democracy in addressing an ever changing world.
