The US is the land of the idiot. This country trails behind a lot of other countries(even some we would consider 3rd world) as far as education. There are a good number of countries where high school students have a level of education equivilant to that of many american college students. BUT, instead of addressing real issues like this, we worry about meaningless crap like gay marriage and partisan politics. It's all very sad.
