Okay, I just wanted to point out further evidence of the United States' disregard of the importance of education. In an effort to assuage the state deficit while not increasing taxes on citizens, Utah State Senator Chris Buttars proposed the elimination of the 12th grade from the Utah public education system.

This is one of the most absolute culminations of the Bible Belt idiocracy that I have ever seen. How can the state government even consider incentivizing students to shun the importance of their education? It's disgusting. It's dispicable. It's a crime against the future of our society, Utah, and the children that this directly affects. Do we really live in a country where the people are so dead set against raising their taxes that they would be willing to sacrifice the potential of their children's future? Is that really what our society has become? Americans, you sicken me.
