So much vitriol has been thrown at Padre Faura Street since the release of the Supreme Court decision upholding the K to 12 basic education reform and the removal of Filipino subjects from college. Most, if not all of it, are misplaced, and betrays the propensity of many critics to fire away without informing themselves first.

What was the ruling of the high tribunal? In summary, the Supreme Court has left the issues — the number of years of basic education and the content of the college curriculum — to the competency of Congress and the Executive branch.
