Schools, of all things, have really been under attack- underfunded and disparaged as of late. It's such a ridiculous, wrong-headed trend. They are places of learning, seeking to improve the lot of younger generations- what could be more important?

Exploring solar power is a perfect example of how they can help the future not be so scary.

They are under attack because an educated population leans left.

As a very correct person once said, "reality has a left-wing bias".

Higher education prices keep soaring, while the grassroots education, especially the teachers, haven't escalated at the same proportions.

As is the trend since the 80s, certain industries (Wall Street, tech, insurance, etc) have grown exponentially whereas something that truly safeguards and directs the future of humanity (grassroots education) remains sidelined.

It's a brutal state of affairs for humanity but one that is inevitable.
