Can we pull off some legislation that would get financial education here in Oklahoma in our schools?

I think some schools in Oklahoma offer Junior Achievement.  Economics and finances should be mandatory before graduating from high school.  Someone who wants to go straight into the work force or the army needs to know about finances just as much as a college kid.  Assuming they will get that needed education later is a bad way to go.
