Lawsuits like this (whether these particular ones are true or not) are rewarded because of a simple loss of common sense.

You can thank the gov't and its curriculum for public schools for producing people that cannot think for themselves.

If you think that I am joking, stop by your state's educational site and download the Standards of Learning (SOL) for each grade and look them over. Then compare that with what *you* learned in school. Better yet, compare it to an 8th grade test from 1895:

Once you're done doing that, if you still think that there has been no "dumbing down" of our children, that government controlled education is a fantastic idea, and that the agenda of teacher's unions has had no harm whatsoever on the learning ability of our kids...
Well then, you're most likely a recent graduate of public schools and can't understand 80% of what you've just read anyway, and the above lawsuit rewards probably make total sense to you.
