One almost could think the dumbing down was a conspiracy. Look at the crap that is being watched on television for example. We take actors and films far too seriously.

Whether conspiracy or not, it is all too real and common. It inspired my wife and I to pull our kids from a lousy public school where they were repeating the same worksheets in late October that they had done in early September. We did a year of home schooling, then a year at Catholic school (better, but got too political and the principal was "removed" by a minority group of parents), now they are back in home school.

yeah, I fear the brainwashing of the public system. I guess what I want to do is to teach my children to think for themselves. I will tell them that just because an adult says something do NOT take their word for it.
