Former U.S. Secretary of State Dr. Condoleezza Rice, talked about the power of education and the impact that it has on the individual and democracy. This seems to be a recurring theme over the last several years, but what are we doing about it? Here is what the Huggington Post reported, "... On a special Thanksgiving edition of Face the Nation, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice told CBS's Bob Schieffer that the U.S. public school system is the nation's largest problem. "Because with the failing public schools, I worry that the way that my grandparents got out of poverty, Rice said. "The way that my parents became educated, is just not gonna be there for a whole bunch of kids."
Rice went on to say the system's shortcomings, combined with poverty and racial divide, will cause serious problems in the future. "I think it's gonna drive us into class warfare like we've never seen," she said. "Because education, even in the segregated South, was always the way that you got out."
Well, when are we going to do something about it?
