wow, Google is going to resolve the Arab-Israeli conflict - and at the same time, they think that poor performance in U.S. ghetto schools is a matter of improper teaching, not of ghetto culture.
They also apparently believe that U.S. kids eat healthy, because Sesame Street taught them to do so.
What unbounded naive hubris. Maybe for starters they should do a websearch on -> U.S. obesity children
And oh yeah, some 'All Hail Obama' is subtly thrown into the presentations, too.
