It seems clearer than ever that knowledge is a necessity. In this day and age, where violence flourishes, and money speaks volumes, the only way to turn ourselves in the right direction is through education. How is it possible for advancements to be made and for the economy to grow with a workforce that is backtracking away from higher education? The clear relationship between level of education and success is one of the only statistics that provides the potential to significantly improve America. Yet, we continue to ignore this fact. How long will it be before the cuts cease and the necessity of comprehensive, well-funded education is realized? Hopefully soon. And hopefully before we drive ourselves into the ground.
