4. Do you know why it's pointless to blame it on "the Obama era"?

Because Obama didn't cause this and Obama isn't the solution.

Action begins AT HOME, at the district and school board level.

You give good advice, opt out, get help, but that through away blame on the administration makes people who buy it feel helpless.

They aren't helpless, and they don't need the president to change things.

Fortunately, most actions can be successful on a more local level.
