We began heading down this road in the Seventies, and even then, college students at many schools had to take a course called "freshman bonehead English" to be ready for first year studies. That trend has only expanded over the past 35 years.

That's the timeframe I've heard also - very coincidental that it's when the NEA started its stranglehold on schools....

In some areas, close to 50% of college freshmen have to take remedial math and english. Why they are even going to school is beyond me (other than that it is paid for with taxpayer money).

Oh, it's not a coincidence. It was planned a long time ago. Soon there will be a book issued by an important national foundation titled Why Do You Think You Think? with one message for Americans: "Obey!"
