Greatness, not mediocrity

When the youth who grew up in comfortable surroundings aren't aware of the sacrifices others made for their lifestyle, they are prime for indoctrination by institutions who don't hold values of Western civilization. Instead of teaching students to become achievers, they are taught to settle for mediocrity — same for all.

Hopefully the youth of our country will become aware of the disservice that has occurred from these institutions which reflects on the negative history of our country but never America's great achievements.
