What have we learned?? - Toyota Yaris Forums

I questioned the US education system on another site as to how effective it is. Consensus was that it isn't education at all, but propaganda, particularly when it comes to learning about the rest of the planet or its history. Please note that the respondents were Americans. It would seem that knowing about the holocaust or the Roman Empire is less important than how many shots were fired at Bunker Hill. Cicero's quote is so relevant to the situation in the US and how it outlines the future of the US, one would think that its inclusion in school curriculum would be mandatory.

We indeed live in interesting times!
