The Lottery is an outstanding documentary movie. I was fascinated to watch the stories of a handful of eager young children whose parents want a better education and future for their children. We have an educational crisis in this country. I encourage all people of voting age to watch this movie to learn of the enormous effort required to overcome the status quo in bringing about an improvement in educational outcomes. Many of the people in the educational establishment who claim to want to help are actually shown to be far more interested in preserving the status quo than in helping students. Education reform and freedom of choice in education are clearly becoming the civil rights issues of our time. It should impact the way you vote!
