This is exactly what’s wrong with the U.S.! What nation educates it’s people based upon their socio-economic status and then assumes that it will be equipped to compete with other nations in future advancement. Soon we’ll just have all the Chinese, etc. come over and work the jobs and run the corporations while we American’s serve in the armed forces and fight for the return of our freedom!
