Stupidity in America?

I hear a lot of people talking about problems with education in America, with Americans being misinformed or stupid, etc. I have also heard many ideas to try and solve this problem. Some people say there should be more American History classes in school, some people advocate Voucher programs, and still some say we should just increase funding. Others say things are fine as they are. What do you think? Here's a video that should bring about some interesting discussion that I found on youtube. I hope you all enjoy it, and I'd like to hear what your reaction(s) are.

Please refrain from posting until you have at least seen the video.

I'm not a talk radio kind of guy.  I've been exposed enough to the likes of Limbaugh and Beck to decline further opportunities of talk radio.

From the wiki, it appears that Boortz at least recognizes that there needs to be internal changes to the structure of the USA.  Unfortunately, only his external rightwingnuttery is likely to be implemented.  The borders will not be secured, and the unions will ride us all the way down.

In my state, Ohio, a Dem Governor (arguably a better choice than the literal demon (Blackwell) who was his opponent) is taking steps to stop the privatizing of educational opportunities in the state.  He's out to kill the voucher program, which will force people to remain in their suckassed public-school systems.  All that conservative talk radio hasn't done much good in Ohio ... since the state-level Republicans were too busy milking the state instead of promoting real fiscal conservatism as a governing philosophy.  Maybe Ohio's Republicans should remember this defeat (they were swept out of most state-level offices in 2006) and try to be real fiscal conservatives, next time!
