The American revolution is an ongoing state of consciousness, a rambunctiousness that every generation needs to embody in the face in any threat to the idea that 1) all of us are equal 2) all of us are free to pursue happiness here & 3) govt. exists to secure our right to do so.
I agree with that. But is a child who goes to school where they don't even have adequate school supplies to teach a child to read, is that child then able to pursue happiness?

Sure. But still, if a child can't read by the age of 8 then the chances of high school graduation are drastically decreased and the chance of incarceration are drastically increased. Certain minimums should be required in the richest nation on earth.

Agree. But on what is all our money spent? When I went to school, all books and supplies were provided by the school. And education cost less per pupil.

There are no school supplies, short of books, that are needed to teach a child to read. My kids learned well before school even started.
