The Issue
@@NAME@@ has a serious problem with poor literacy rates among 12-18 year olds, which many parents and teachers blame on the current state of the education system and lack of government funding.
The Debate
1. Boot Camp instructor @@RANDOMNAME@@ stated his opinion: "Who gives a damn? Makes 'em easier to turn into brainwashed grunts anyhow! You don't need to be able to read in order to fire a gun! What we need to do is focus on our military spending - what does it matter if you can read or not when you're overrun by warmongering barbarians?"
2. On the other side, there's @@NAME@@'s Education Administrator. "This is shocking news. If the children of tomorrow cannot read, then what? Next thing you know, we'll be speaking ebonics! The government must devote more efforts to education! Where will we be twenty years from now with an overflow of unskilled labor?"
*3. @@RANDOMNAME@@, principal of a highly-rated private school, prefers a different approach. "Instead of that, why not issue government vouchers so that parents can afford to send their children to privately run schools? We offer a far better education than the public schools. All we do is grind our particular religious views into our students!" [Must have private industry]
*4. @@RANDOMNAME@@, principal of a highly-rated private school in the United Federation, suggests a different approach. "Instead of that, why not issue government subsidies to help parents afford to send their children overseas, to privately run schools outside of @@NAME@@? We offer a far better education than the communist schools of your nation. Sure, they might pick up a few ideological tendencies, but I reckon that'll be good for your economy in the long run." [Must not have private industry]
5. "Who needs some fancy-shmancy cash-draining school system, anyway?" @@RANDOMNAME@@ declares from the front steps of his double-wide mobile home, shotgun in hand. "My Pa raised me and my eight brothers and three sisters without no waste of time schoolin'! My Pa taught me everythin' I need t'know, let all these whippersnappers' Mas and Pas teach 'em what they need t'know!"

Is this idea too futuristic or is it feasible?

Fully conscious pig brains are way outside current technology (they think...), however there's all kinds of cool (read: nightmarish) issuespace between #626 and that point. Just one of the interesting questions is how government regulators impose limits on research involving people, but not necessarily on dead tissue samples, or at least not the same sort. So is a reanimated brain (to whatever extent) a person or a dead tissue sample?
Good ethical/scientific/political questions here.
Also, this will help me sneak up to the "iPear Assistant is made of people!" issue. It's organic!

If they just get a few neurons going off half-cocked without any consciousness, that's a more interesting question -- but be mindful of overlap with existing issues like 874.

Mobile Maladies, for example, was significantly revised to change it from concerns over radiation from phones (which was a big worry in the 80s and 90s) to worrying over excessive screentime and the death of social interaction, which is a much more modern anxiety over phones.
However, it's previously been not so much about adding new options for new technologies, and more about removing things which now seem out of date or dilemmas since solved with new technologies.

Would an issue debating the merits of the 12 hour and 24 hour systems work?

It might if it hasn't already been done.

After a successful moon landing, Dàguó has removed your nation's flag from the satellite’s rocky surface. Planetary expansionists and science fiction enthusiasts alike have gathered to demand military intervention.

Anyone know if there's any Issue that deals with the perceived or real negative influence or a foreign media (specifically television) on your country's people?
