[xmca] Lessons of the past never learnt in the land of institutionalized idiocy

A friend wrote to Dep. PM and Education Minister, Julia Gillard, objecting to the testing regime imported to Oz from the US, and Gillard replied:
"There can be no valid reason for schools doing anything other than teaching literacy and numeracy and some basic test preparation to ensure students demonstrate good achievement in NAPLAN assessments." 

Dumb and dumber.

Andy
