The President, the Attorney General, Homeland Security, the State Department and the mayor of Los Angeles, California have all weighed in their disapproval of Arizona’s new immigration law. The sad state of America’s education system is unfortunately showing its decline in basic skills now apparently being reflected in halls of government leadership. The failure of so many of our officials and government representatives to pass the basic test of academic comprehension necessary to be intelligent on the issues before them as they speak out with assertive and defiant ignorance.
The Arizona Governor and the Arizona State Legislators have completed a diligent writing of a Bill that expected Constitutional challenge by the Federal Government as they carefully worded and consulted the reference material to merit a worthy script.
The American people have been told by our government that the decline in our educational standards make our Nation less competitive in the economic hunt for jobs and necessary performance skills to adjust to an evolving workplace.
Basic math and language skills fall way behind other Countries in the world and since the 1983 Commission on Excellence in Education report called A Nation at Risk and now twenty-five years later we see that little has changed to improve our system.

What is worse is we now have our Government officials exemplifying a remedial level of competency in the area of reading that one would assume would be their first obligation to endeavor before speaking to a mass audience about policy.
Apparently, for the high ranking offices of this Nation it is less important to read and think before you speak. In the parental world of supporting sound moral behavior and raising an educated and prepared child to be successful in the world it is understood that “Do as I say, not as I do” is a flawed role model. Parents that walk the talk and hold out high expectations experience the rewards of their children following their un-ambiguous example.
Therefore, it is not an unusual reaction from the majority of Americans and the State of Arizona to be headstrong in defending the Arizona Immigration Law and ignoring the Federal Government’s admitted illegitimate condemnation. When they both READ and COMPREHEND the law they then have legitimacy to weigh in their comments and opinions.
Americans stand with Arizona, while the Los Angeles Mayor calls for a boycott of Arizona and a commissioner of the Arizona Corporation Commission calls to cut off power to the California City. We Americans have already seen the bright lights dimmed in our Capital and have turned to our local State Representatives who read to be the new bright beacons of hope for America’s future.
