Museum Junkies are concenrned about the state of education in the country. Science literacy has diminished and congress continues to ignore pertinent research when making decisions that affecdt the nation. As a result, we have a growing number of ignorant citizens. Over 25% of youth have dropped out of school. Rather than using analytic skils for decision making. people turn to informatin sourches that reinforce their biases. My soon to be published book, Over the Sticker Bush Fence, addresses some of these issues.
