>"It's no panacea, but this legislation will point us in the right direction. Looking at hard data, we know our children are struggling with a heck of a lot of the math, including the geometry incorporating pi," Roby said. "I guarantee you American scores will go up once pi is 3. It will be so much easier."

This doesn't even make sense.
1) Doesn't that just mean we will have to make a new symbol to represent pi anyway, since pi is used instead of 3 for a reason?
2) That doesn't make anyone 'better' at maths, it just makes the maths simpler and more innaccurate.

Work on moving the youths perception of math and science to a more positive one and increasing education in general rather than just making it easier.

Goddamn the states are stupid.
