Sorry Creativelcro.

How else to tell people this is serious?

I'm not very good at using words that dance around the issue.

Go to: http://www.vote.wa.gov/outreach/ and read some of the lesson plans for teachers and students in Washington State. This isn't a civics education- it's Intro to E-voting and Touch Screens.

Compare to educational program at California's SOS site:
http://www.ss.ca.gov/elections/Outreach/civics/home.htm

I think the CA site is what you'd expect a civics minded course to be like. Not a PR campaign of innuendo and word play.

And look at the "...burn in hell" Dante quote on the WA site.

What gives there? Why not one of the many quotes from Jefferson or even Franklin? What's up with this?
