The United States media is currently refusing to cover the Ukrainian protests, so I have to. They start with the the President, Viktor Yanukovych, rejecting an accord with the European Union in order to gain a better relationship with neighboring Russia. This wasn't what the citizens of western Ukraine wanted. All the protesters want is for the President to resign. Most of the starting protests were mainly peaceful, but the police started shooting protesters with snipers and AK-47s. Police also were kidnapping the protesters that were hospitalized and beat and killed them. The protests have been increasingly getting more violent, with protesters having to form their own defense groups. Now, every day people are being killed. The worst day was February 20 in Kiev, where 77 people were killed and 600 wounded.

In a recent study on 2,200 Americans by the National Science Foundation, results came out that only 74 percent of American people think that Earth orbits the Sun. Only 39 percent believed that the Earth started with a large explosion and only 48 percent believed that humans as we know them today are derived from an earlier species. And only half of Americans knew that antibiotics don't kill viruses. This study was done to be shown to United States President, Barack Obama, to show how low the standards of American education are.
