ABC’s “20/20” had an outstanding program on Jan. 13 titled “Stupid in America.” The program focused on the decline of public education in the United States. A report by John Stossel can be found on the program’s Web site at http://abcnews.go.com/2020/Stossel/story?id=1500338. A flurry of emails went around cities in Capistrano USD a few days before the program aired. The word went out that “20/20” would include the $35-million administration center under construction in San Juan Capistrano. Keep in mind the story focused on bad examples. A palatial office building makes no sense in a district with children in portables and programs cut to bare bones. Part of the problem of American schools is a failing system. Another problem is in thinking those who caused the problems will fix them. Connie Lee |
