I blame the school system. This one in particular is not following the federal standard of keeping kids ignorant and passing them along from grade to grade with absolutely no ability to think for themselves. Kids with minds of their own! What is this country coming to? Someday our kids may start performing as well as other kids around the world - what an ugly world that would be. No, it's best to keep to the standard - jail parents and teachers for promoting curiosity and independence - it's the only way!
What's next?
Felony for placing unopened cans of soda in the freezer?
Removal of chemistry and physics from schools?... 'cuz anyone that knows anything about how electricity, magnetism and/or chemistry is clearly a threat to society.
No dry ice bombs, but fireworks are legal! Me thinks "dangerous" entertainment is only allowed if there is a multi-billion dollar industry to back it.
