It's become unfortunately popular in some circles to view education as strictly a state's propaganda tool, but in spite of its flaws, I've been pretty impressed by how effective it can be in the hands of skilled and passionate groups of individual educators.

That's not to say there aren't bad teachers (and don't even get me started on administrators and legislators), but I do attribute a lot to what it has accomplished, for example, in my remote state, and that's in spite of being regularly attacked by christofascists. When I think about it, I'm not sure I'd have much of a healthy perspective on things if not for some influential teachers. I'm a huge fan of public education, and I think we need to speak up for it whenever we can. It's tragic what's happened to it these past few years in my state and others.
