Einstein, for example, is committed to the importance of religion in public life, and well Kemp is arrogant, abrasive, and does not care that some ideas (like rights) aren't empirically testable. In the case of Kemp, there's a mixture of admirable, reasonable, and crazy nut. He's an enigmatic one haha.

But in this case they are both right

Watch this documentary. It's very accurate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bx4pN-aiofw

Re: American Schools

It's mostly locally controlled, so generalizations about "America's schools" tend to be grossly inaccurate. Some people realize the value of educating their children so they can get ahead in life. Other people don't want children learning basics like diagramming sentences, because they'd rather have lazy, idiot kids who feel good about themselves than educated human beings who know the value of hard work and knowledge. Sometimes the idiots win and education suffers greatly for all.
