‘Pro-Science PAC’ The last day or so I’ve been running into a lot of articles decrying U.S. ‘education’
You know not teaching history keeps down awkward questions. Not teaching biology does too.

Pro-education all around would do the whole nation a lot of good…If our representatives would actually get off drugs, get off their buts and actually represent the people accordingly and do their f-ing job, maybe we would have semi-intelligent people in this country…probably not though…
