The public education system, outside of the sciences and math, is basically a joke anyway.
Kids beliefs need to be challenged through a reading classical literature and philosophy. It's absolutely sad how the humanities and arts have been watered down to mere geography and history, instead of focusing on reading, writing, and critical self-awareness.
We can harp on the parents of these kids, but really, they are just the most current visible casualty of an education system which depends more on comfort than knowledge.
