LOL at sociology. "I knew sociology wasn't for me when the professor said that violence was never the answer." Otherwise, I completely agree. Math and science are our physical understanding of the universe. It's not like you need to demand every kid learn calculus. A full course on linear algebra would be a fine replacement. You could even have courses on kinematics or cellular automata. I see no reason why by 6th grade, kids can's start learning algebra. I hade to know my multiplication tables by 4th grade. And one year should be plenty of time to teach mixed math operations. Libraries could do for some scientific journal subscriptions instead of comics. I supose if you want to get more kids to read then sure. But a large selection of manga is not needed for that. I like monga, but I also like more stimulating reading like the Illiad.

Truth. Minors get their rights from their guardian, who gets their rights from the state.
