Tired of being made fun of as their citizens fell behind in adopting new techniques and new technology in the critical life skills; Kentucky does something about it.
"Teach a man to fish and he's got something to spend his unemployment checks on."

Here on Long Island, bowling, golf and competitve cheering are (and have been for over 15 years) accredited high school sports. While I might agree that bass fishing (and hunting) are "hobbies or "pass-times" anything that gets the kids interested in going outdoors (or doing something physical) and not playing video games or texting is a good thing. (and this is from someone who voted NO on the latest (and in the past) school budget votes).
