I was reminded of a brief sci-fi story when I encountered this article.
If you don't follow the link, the article describes how the state of Oregon no longer requires High School graduates to show proficiency in reading, writing, or mathematics to graduate. How does an Oregon High School graduate know that they have the correct diploma if they are illiterate and can't even read it?
In the spirit of the society that the Oregon educational system is producing - one where an illiterate student has the same valid diploma as an honors student - here is Kurt Vonnegut.
Should be back to routine blogging here in a bit. Thanks for your patience, kind readers.
In the meantime, here is an interesting read.
