This is the *good* news, not the bad. Used to be that we had compulsory
attendance laws in this country. Truant officers. It was hard to get out
of slave school. These days, you take one aspirin tablet to slave school
and they kick you out. No more compulsory attendance. "I tried to attend
but they didn't want me." Everything that makes it harder to attend slave
schools means that fewer will attend. Less mental retardation.
