Boy this is the truth - give the authority back to the schools and parents and not in the government's hands - maybe this world wouldn't be so damn jacked up! This kinda goes with the "should you discipline your child" thread that was started a little while ago. TD, you should remember how things were held back in '73 (I think you were 85 then..) and how much different things are today. We are raising a bunch of wussies!!!
