I watched a short “man on the street” video last night (sorry no link). A guy was asking high school and one college grad simple question like “how many states are there”, “who is vice president”, not one could answer those basic questions. Sad, we are doomed.

Jay Leno used to have a "Jaywalking" segment where he would ask people on the street questions. Once he was a few blocks from the Pacific Ocean and asked one man what is that body of water and the man replied, "the Atlantic Ocean."

No, it wasn't Joe Biden.

I am not surprised. Again, I teach middle school and I am stunned by how utterly stupid the majority of students are.
Further, their parents (largely white, upper middle class professionals) are absolutely vapid idiots.

All of the kids insist they’re going to be important Tik Tok influencers, dancers, rappers, sports figures, etc.

They don’t need educations because they’re all special and only losers who don’t have talent need educations.

It is really scary.
