For decades now, we’ve had a war on drugs. And, we’ve had a variety of programs to address the educational problems of this country – the latest is a complete mess called No Child Left Behind. Perhaps we’ve been going about it all wrong….. perhaps I have a better idea….. perhaps it’s below the fold
Well, we’ve had a long war on drugs. Long and expensive. Millions of dollars spent. Millions of people in prison. And, now…. it’s impossible to buy illicit drugs…. hmmm
and we’ve got No Child Left Behind…. yes, it’s the plan by the President who never got educated to fix our schools by sending money to corporations… hmmmm…. is our children learning?
What we need is
War on Education!
That’s right, folks. We’re going to wage war on education! No more schools! Anyone caught learning or teaching will be off to jail. There’ll be lots of room, because…. we’re going to stop the drug war and introduce
No Child Leaves Drugs!
Yup. We’ll start kids off with some alcohol, and test them annually to see if they’re ready to move on up to pot, cocaine, and heroin! Right! Tests! We’ll make the drugs legal, and require kids to buy them from US Corporations. Tax ’em, too.
oooooh!

…as the War on Drugs…
Trouble is, NCLB is a war on education. And education is losing.
Are people worried they might be a gateway to education? In that case I would have a PHD.
“No child leaves drugs” was practically my motto in high school in the 70’s.
Besides if we don’t do it, Big Pharma will just fill ’em full of Ritalin and Adderal.
Then sell ’em the shit to get rid of their “Restless Leg Syndrome”. Hell we just called that “Happy Feet”!
And don’t get me started about the two people in separate bath-tubs in those fucking Cialis commercials.
Who cares if we cure cancer as long as we have rock-hard erections?
