Moral Quandary

When I read statements like this,
Not many of you should presume to be teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly. James 3:1 (NIV)
and then read facts like this one tweeted by the Madville Times,
average wage, SD/US: 76%. Cost of Living, SD/US: 91%. And you like this status quo?
I really start believing I have a moral obligation to write "Get out of South Dakota" on the bottom of each paper I grade and return to students.

There is an argument for urging our best and brightest to stay and fight. It is a hard argument to make.
