Improve science education!

•U.S. mathematics and science K-12 education ranks 48th worldwide.

•49% of U.S. adults don't know how long it takes for the Earth to circle the sun.

•China has replaced the United States as the world's top

I think that there can be no downsides to good science education; it promotes critical thinking, skepticism, rational, intelligent decision making, patience... the list goes on and on.
