My Husband just heard on the TV that President Obama is going to make a statement in his speech that if kids don't stay in school they are not only letting down themself's, but also they will letting down their country. Now someone needs to check their history. How many men and women have given their lives for their country that didn't finish school since this country was founded. I know for a fact that my Dad didn't finish the 6th grade, but when his country called, that didn't stop him from fighting for his country in WW II and the Korean War.I do feel kids should stay in school,but it should not be put to them that they are un-American if they don't.
