Education builds a nation

YET again, the Bowerbird writes so eloquently on matters, the subject of which touches the hearts of billions the world over.

He begins his commentary on the needless mass killings at a high school in Florida. His call for us to “Learn advocacy from US high schoolers” (The Star, March 19) is apt, succinct and timely. But while I entirely agree with his sentiments, he too, I think, would agree with me that at the end of the day, the “advocacy” he writes of would come to naught as far as the United States is concerned.
