10. Just another example of the Repukes' effort.......

to devalue education. It's easy to make fun of the fact that WVU is having problems, what with that state being represented by Senator Moneychin and their dedication to fossil fuel. But it is NOT just there - as posted elsewhere in this thread, it is happening all over our country.

Look at what Governor WhiteBoots is doing in Florida! What has been happening there will take 10 to 20 years to correct - and shame on anyone that wants to be a part of THAT movement!

When we lose our basic commitment to education we begin to weaken our country. A poorly educated populace is 'ripe pickins' for those who want to rule for themselves, not the country.
