I too attended public school (Virginia, Maryland, and Florida) and state colleges (Virginia).  My public education was very complete and sufficient.

Then, the Federal Government got involved (DoE began operating in May, 1980).  The quality of public education has declined ever since.  We have gone from preparing for life… to pandering to self-esteem.  Abolish DoE... give the money directly to the states.

I do, however, apologize for offending anyone about their public education… whenever it was completed… or credit given to them.
