Michael Moore and the superiority of Cuba

Michael Moore chose the wrong subject for his recent documentary. Instead of health care, which in truth everyone in America has in some way or another, he should have done an expose on the American system of education and it's inferiority to the Cuban system.

In Cuba, so I have read and heard, they have achieved nearly 100% literacy. How did they do it? Cubans are poor. They don't have a lot of money for schools. many Cubans are descendants of people who suffered a particularly brutal form of slavery. yet, Cubans learn to read quite well. Cuban classrooms look to be organized and well disciplined. Cuban children seem eager to learn. Cubans value patriotism to a great degree. In the classroom they salute Fidel and their revolution, everyday. Cuban children engage in holiday celebrations that encourage group unity. They do not value individualism at all. Everything is done for the state. Teachers are paid no more than any other profession, yet they are dedicated to their students.

Our system is nothing like the Cuban system. It is in every way inferior. I say we should start emulating Cuba today. In every class children should stand and salute George W. Bush and our flag before commencing to lessons.
