WASHINGTON –
"Scared straight," an old tactic of the war on drugs, is making an
appearance in the war on ignorance in a new film called 2 Million Minutes. Math, science and engineering educators have been warning for years
that American failings are pushing jobs and investment to
better-trained foreign workers. The issue hasn't caught
fire in the presidential campaign. And the public doesn't seem to share
the urgency, either. Maybe the kids will listen. 2 Million Minutes argues
that "the battle for America's economic future isn't being fought by
our government. It's being fought by our kids."
