I think people need something to believe in, because they don't want to have control over their own lives. They'd rather be able to blame it on an unknown being, or a greater god, or a greater spirit of sorts. And I think it's easier for them to blame it on that.
I just have a position that any child that's in a failing school should be able to get out, or be in a position to have that school fixed.
