Because they no longer emphasize math, they emphasize computer science in their high schools. According to TIME, Israel has what is widely regarded as the world’s best computer science education program for High Schools. And that is not tested internationally. As for the discussion of women in science, why not waste a few tens of billions designing programs to make women go into science, fail at it, and then double down with even more tens of billions. Then we can scream if anyone dares to propose cutting the programs - after all do you want less women in science? Sounds like a winner plan to me.

A younger generation of leftsts will embrace genetic engineering and they will push for babies being made up of mixed up genetic material from 100s of random people of all backgrounds.<br />Families will be handed those babies to raise. Thy will sever the link between parents and offsprings. Before implantation in an articifial uterus, the babies will be screened for personality traits linked with right wing or comservative ideas. They will go back to the eugenics that they used to love.<br />ogunsironhttp://www.gmail.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-16981279777187715882013-03-23T23:07:58.805-07:002013-03-23T23:07:58.805-07:00"I wonder if China's high male to female ..."I wonder if China's high male to female ratio has contributed to their technological surge.
