Ironic that Mr. Washington was an inventor; I would have been nice if this was the "Booker T Washington High School for Science, Math, and I.T. skills". Oh well... Even though other countries will take away great jobs from our children in most industries, at least we still have the entertainment industry cornered for now!!! Yea, U.S.A.! We have our priorities straight!
