As I see it, "hunger" -- in today's world -- is at least related to a lack
of education. I believe that every poor community in every state is made up
largely of undereducated, underliterate adults and older youth. This
population is almost totally ignored in Texas, but I believe this is true in
every state. Open-minded ATTENTION to this could begin alleviating it
immediately. State Education Boards' emphasis on ratcheting up the
"standards" (egged on by Business) without one iota of attention to raising
the level of education in the poor communities -- red, yellow, brown, black,
or white -- is an exercise in futility, "leaving behind" a whole population
of perfectly intelligent people who feel like nobodies.
