Thanks to welfare have reverse eugenics. Many high IQ women rather focus on career and the pleasures of modern life than have kids. The opportunity costs of having a kid for a low IQ on welfare woman is minimal or actually be a monetary benefit.

New Math (late 1960s)
Word Attack (again 1960s)
TV instead of books (by 1960s everyone had a tv babysitter)

With the advent of computers and instant access to the internet, people have no need to memorize anything, or use reasoning to solve a problem. They can simply look it up.

Need to perform a simple calculation? People don’t do math in their heads anymore. They whip out the calculator on their iPhone to split a restaurant bill two ways or arrive at the final price in a 25% off sale.

Common Core is designed to make and keep people lazy, selfish, and stupid. A cog in the NWO wheel.

Used as directed, CC will all but eliminate critical thinking, personal initiative, and belief in God (the Jehovah God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ).

Common Core is far more sinister than most people imagine. With this in mind, plan for your children’s future accordingly.

Loved the ad a couple of years ago of the lazy boy calling his grandma in the next room on the phone to bring him another grape soda. Kids who did nothing but sit and watch TV or play on the computer were bound to be deficient in IQ. Also, going to school and being taught by the Dumbest Generation didn’t help.

But the median IQ is still 100, right?
