Please understand.

This is NOT some liberal/progressive/communist/statist conspiracy.

They are on auto pilot.

They are true believers and don’t have any grand plan for remaking our culture.

The issue is wholly different.

The issue is “how” did this thought process gain soo much traction ?

How have we allowed the teaching of “uncertainty”, the embrace of “Uncertainty” to gain dominance ?

What can we do about it ?

I’m open to ideas.

Never skip a vote for educational positions. Fill the system with people who demand high standards and it will show in coming generations.

In 2012 I voted for cardiologist/tea party conservative Rob Steele in a race for a seat on the University of Michigan Board of Regents.

Half as many people voted in college and other state level education races and democrats won almost every last one of them. It was the fault of conservative or republican apathy.

Make sure your children read and write well. In the kingdom of the blind, the one eyed man is king.

Teach your children, or grandchildren. Spend the time to do it.

I'll be hosting 3 of my grandbabies tomorrow in my house that one friend called a 'Darwin Test'. They will love the time they spend here. They will leave knowing the steps required to turn flour into bread. That is the lesson for tomorrow.

I will have succeeded when the 2 year old can chant my bread recipe. She'll learn to understand it after I'm dead and gone.

5 hours of fun with grand-dad, and they go away knowing something real.

Step up. It's our turn.

Part of the problem is the push to get everyone in college and the pressure to reduce admission standards. Hope scholarships don’t help because the standard for getting one is ridiculously low. In Tennessee it requires a GPA of only 2.75.
