COMMENTS: Change the Curriculum
Monday had seen a pair of anchors reporting from the Gulf Coast. Both CBS' Katie Couric and ABC's Diane Sawyer rounded out their trip with day-after features. Sawyer sat down with the bereaved relatives of Dale Burkeen, one of the eleven platform workers killed by the initial explosion that triggered this disaster. Couric sought the vox pop of half a dozen small business people in the devastated tourist resort of Grand Isle. On NBC, Thanh Truong went to the Boothville Venice elementary school, where almost every student has a family member working either in the fishery or in the oil industry. The science curriculum for sixth graders is now single topic--how coastal ecosystems work and the consequences of their destruction.
