Bush Plans on Making Education More Accessible to Americans


Washington — At the latest meeting of the U.S. Department of Education, President Bush took matters into his own hands, assuring Americans of the bright future that lies ahead: beginning next fall, he said, archaic classes including math and English will be replaced by Barista Labs and Celebrity History, courses that will prove to be more necessary in our progressive society.

“Nothing is more boring, than writing out math long hand when a calculator or an accountant works just as good,” Mr. Bush said, squeezing in a place setting for himself at the head of a table during the Department of Education’s quarterly dinner party Wednesday night. He added that every American student’s mind should be “filled with the future,” instead of equations and grammar rules that computers can fix for us.

Department of Education Secretary Spellings explained later that the aim of the plan was to “look for more effective ways to improve America’s school system,” and admitted she was not exactly sure what the president was talking about or what he was doing at the banquet.

Since Bush’s No Child Left Behind plan left the majority of America’s youth in the dust, the president has been trying to pick up the pieces and give Americans hope for the future, ignoring the reasoning of his cabinet members.

During the banquet Spellings also recalled how Bush mentioned turning science labs into latte labs, an idea that only raised eyebrows and led to confusion.

Spellings concluded, “My niece has been working part time at Starbucks while attending MIT. But now, what’s the point of an engineering degree?”
