Reaction to "Idiot Nation"

I have to say that this this short story is something that i completely agree with. it kind of remindes me of my school, and when i was there. Even as a student athlete i knew that the people who weren't a student athlete were getting ripped off. In our school we had huge cracks in our roof, and buckets always in the hallway to catch the water leaking from them. We had books that lead back to 74', and i once found my moms name in a textbook i had gotten. When we had budget cuts, instead of cutting money from sports first we cut 6 teachers, making the class sizes huge. It seems as though we don't have our priorities in check. Our sport stadium is one of the nicest around this area, and it has its own maintence crew. Before a game the mascot and "BULLDOGS" are always painted on both sides of the field, and the grass is always mowed before football games. Each sport throughout the year is given 1,000 dollars budget. Therefore i could totally can relate to what he was saying. I dont think people are stupid in this nation, but i think that their priorities are not in check. Entertainment always seems more important than politics which is a flaw that the U.S. has and needs to fix. We should figure out where we need to spend, and how much we should spend there.
