Having grown up in the 1960's when people actually did things, such
as protest, get out the vote, boycott products, etc, IMHO that's a bad
thing.

If the school system does not fit the needs of the community, it should 
be changed and or expanded to do so.

In some ways I'm really appalled at what I have seen. The charter school
system is good, but one school on the web I saw is boy's only. It's a
secular school, not a religeous one where for reasons of modesty, etc
boys and girls are kept separate.

I don't agree with that either, but I believe the first amendment
protects such practices.

To me, it's all part of the polical decline of the current generation that
IMHO seems to think that it will all turn out like the end of "West Wing",
if you sit around, listen to "The Times They Are A Changin" and totally
ignore what the candidates crendtials are and what they are actually saying.
