Which party happens to run the Department of Education? Why would the politicians cut the number and types of classes for the citizens to take? Why is Indiana turning high school into work, work, work (some parents don't want their children working during high school!), removing important classes after 10th grade (look it up, but fewer social studies, fewer science (no bio, chem, physics?), and math credits the same, but classes may be different!)? Again, verify, verify, verify. When you dumb down the populace and you own the businesses, you get the workers you want. Rich white males in charge?
