From all objective indicators, this generation is doing just fine.

Recent surveys of college students reveal that in American history and civics, college seniors are not only ignorant of basics, but actually stupider than college freshmen, which means they not only are not learning but are learning error. The majority of graduating seniors at Ivy League schools do not know which wars Gettysberg and Yorktown belong to, respectively. Few appear even to know what the Constitution is, much less why it is important.

The "MeGeneration" elected Ronald Reagan. The current crop gave us two terms of Billyboy. Thanks but no thanks.
