"In the 21st century, scientific knowledge and inquiry are directly linked to our long-term economic and national security. We need citizens who know how to analyze data a make informed decisions, who can think critically and skeptically, who know how to ask new questions and then pursue avenues of inquiry. With a strong foundation in science, our young people today will have the knowledge, curiousity, creativity, and critical-thinking skills necessary to excel in the workforce of the future." Arne Duncan is the U.S. Secretary of Education
