But there does need to some set of basic, core knowledge that should be taught in order to graduate. I'm not an educator, nor do I even pretend to be (although I'll help my kids with their math on occasion) so I don't know what the solution is, I only know that it is pretty broken when all the religious whackos and special interest groups and even just blocks of parents can have a profound impact on the scope and quality of education at the local level.

I used to live in Cleveland so I know all about how bad an education system can get.
