One of our education system's biggest problems is that there is not enough emphasis on the Maths and Sciences.....America is falling behind in the world because our students are not gaining the necessary knowledge in these fields....

Too much emphasis on useless book learnin and abstruse theories and nto enough on PRACTICAL skills....students shoudl learn about the greatness of the Capitalist system, why Marxism is evil and Socialism doesn't work, how to invest in the stock market, balance their finances...and so on....

Arts and Humanities programs should be defunded since many teachers in those fields only fill students minds with revisionist histories and make them hate their country.....in addition,the skills learned in those fields are not as important as those of MATH and SCIENCE,which are the wave of the future....

Most academics can't even fix a doorknob....and yet they want to advocate for socialism....most of the socialists who support Obama have never ran a business....never done payroll,none of it...

I work at a university. Math and science majors are a minority here. And have been for a long time. All natural sciences are. So I don't think they are they are the wave of the future. They are being replaced by computer science and computer engineering. New technology in the US and around the world are the wave and will be for a long time. Kids have a toy in front of them (the computer and variations of it) and want future jobs to play with it. Humanities are a minority too. Kids aren't stupid. They want jobs when they walk out the door.
