William this is a joke ,right?

I just took the "computers in schools" article and replaced it with
books/reading. We all know what reading does to people, eh? Makes you
abnormal and wrecks your social life. Does more harm than good.
Mandatory "athletics" is a good cure for that. And if you let kids go
rooting through libraries, they can find lurid sex, bomb plans, drug
recipies, dangerous ideas, etc. Somebody otta hire censors. For the good
of the children, of course.

Seriously, I think internet access a better goad to kids' reading/learning
than perhaps even comic books.
