This is why conservatives are so reviled by today's more-educated youth.

Anybody who thinks today's youth are more educated hasn't taught undergrads very recently. I have: it's like running a high-school.

Conservatives are reviled by today's "more educated" youth because these utes are wasting their time remediating elementary arithmentic instead of learning genuine economics. If Duke Professors want to edify the public, they ought to spend some time explaining why gasoline is so expensive, instead of wasting bandwidth and paper on trivial conversions. There is no difference between miles per gallon and gallons per mile. If the public were not so innumerate, articles like these would be laughed off the Internet.

Amen. I'm currently teaching undergrads in Logistics Management. I don't know which is worse...their math or writing.

I’m homeschooling my kids,

and my overarching theme is going to be

“Impervious to Nonsense”.

Economics, logical thinking, and Biblical values.
