Well, The New York Times published an article the other day that must have made every liberal reader orgasmic. Silicon Valley billionaires are remaking American schools. Some of them are offering grants to encourage innovation. Others, like Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook, are taking a more profitable approach. He's got software in a hundred schools which supposedly puts kids in charge of
their own learning and turns teachers into facilitators and mentors. Obviously, if his software takes off, it's a huge market and paid for by taxpayers, not Zuckerberg. Now, while these rich and influential titans of technology are focused on education, millions of students are serving as the facto beta testers for their ideas. As The Times puts it. Anyway, that's sure
to bring a smile to every liberal. I mean, this has all the elements, rich, successful progressive tech gurus on federal subsidies giving back to the community beta testing their kids. But in reality, this is a damning indictment of the state of public education when all the money American taxpayers have poured into it for decades, we ought to have the best education system in the world now, not years. In the future, and we shouldn't need these tech titans
to do it. Instead, we have massive institutional failure, an education system that has been run into the ground biliberals and their unions in the first place, and unless that's acknowledged, new technology, no matter how great, will not turn it around. H
