Our teachers have become less educated as they spend more of their college time in marxist indoctrination.

Exactly right.

Since the 1930s, there has been a gradual dumbing down of the U.S. public school curriculum with undemanding, non-academic courses and the lowering of standards for academic courses required for graduation.

In was in the 1930s (during the Great Depression) that Marxist indoctrination programs were set up in our major universities.

This period saw an increasing interest in Marxist ideas among intellectuals and students, driven by the economic hardships of the time and the influence of prominent Marxist scholars who were part of Columbia's faculty or who visited the university.

One key figure during this period was the philosopher Sidney Hook, who was a Columbia alumnus and an advocate of Marxist thought, though he later became a critic of Soviet communism. The Frankfurt School, a group of Marxist scholars who fled Nazi Germany, also had an influence on American intellectual circles, including Columbia, where some members lectured or engaged with faculty and students.

The dumbest person I know is a teacher.

It was embarrassing watching two foreign nationals, green card holders, try to explain the US Constitution to her.

And she thinks that because she went to an expensive private school she’s well educated.
