The same reason we all use dollars. There has to be a standard. You only have to look at the Texas Board of Education and the beliefs of some of it's members regarding science and religion. The feds are holding back the morons.
Are there problems? Of course there are.
What plan do you have that protects us from the whack jobs and doesn't change every few years??
