The Dumbing Down of America?

[bornfree]

For some reason those of us among the general population have convinced themselves that rich spoiled brat GWBush is one of them what made it good despite the odds when in reality GWBush is the son of a well connected rich oil barren father and GWBush mother is politically correct and connected herself. This wealthy family of infuence has supported Hitler and Nazi goals during the 1900s and always sides with their well connected, well oiled family and friends.

Only Conservative Republican Fundamentalist would complain that years and years of free public education has dumbed down America to the point that US Sovereigns can't think, then these same Conservative Republican Fundamentalist brag how they win election after election.

Well I guess the recent election wins proves Conservative Republican Fundamentalist right, America has been dumbed down beyond all hope of thinking for themselves. Perhaps if America gets any dumber they'll actually elect GWBush for a third term.

I half agree with the Libertarians on free public education.

Ace teacher, John Taylor Gatto details a plot to create corporate robots, and the doctrine of Social Darwinism (which is also tied to Eugenics). State Education was tied to Marx and Communism, and developed because of it.

It DOES or at least DID provide some upward mobility regardless of birth, but what little if any economic movement exists MAY be a weak argument compared to 12 years in a mind-torture prison where kids are dumbed down and taught to hate learning.

He cited examples of vastly accelerated learning he and others have done, as well as 'natural learning' about how the world works by experience. He's against the State SHEEP FARM.

Makes some good arguments.

Most americans seem to be semit-literate at best, getting their news and opinions from the television news and hollywood. This, of course, is just how the NWO wants it.
