A couple of weeks ago, US House of Representative member Jesse Jackson Jr. was the subject of muck flak and ridicule for drafting an amendment to the US Constitution, H.J. Res 29, that would mandate equal education for all. The language of the amendment reads “all persons shall enjoy the right to a public education of equal high quality.\" To enforce that right, Jackson said in his floor speech, which you can view here, that the government should put technologies like laptops and tablets in each classroom. |
