But its about to get worse - much, much worse.
Apparently not satisfied with controlling the news media and the direction of scientific research, the federal government now wants to control and standardize everything that happens in the already overly regimented and unimpressive US public school system.

School administrators, being the unimpressive dolt they are, are buying it - especially when it comes attached to hundreds of millions of dollars in federal grants.
