They are pretty good at playing video games-sometimes two or three at a time.
They are taught the downside of the American system , but they are not taught the history off man in any decent way to put our current existence into context. they have no context, and context is everything
It is the result of Government indoctrination in public schools, and Hollyweird.
...young people who think they know it all, are really uninformed and ignorant....
One of the Podesta emails said that a democrat strategy is to have an “unknowing and compliant” electorate. Looks like they have gone a long way toward that goal.
My own daughter yesterday: “those emails were just about yoga...” This is from a homeschooled young lady we tried to raise to think for herself. In politics, she has succumbed to the groupthink of social media.
Clueless. Most young guys cannot change a tire on their car, chop wood, start a fire and or cook over it. Gather water, filter it, sanitize it.
Oh well.
It’s not just that they don’t know. They don’t know that they don’t know.
Where is your context? How do you understand your temporal and geographical place in the world? How does anything make sense if there's no structure to put it in? And how do you connect one idea to another when you don't have any ideas to begin with?
Only a few decades ago, the goal of US education was to teach students to think for themselves.
Today it is conformity.
They don’t have any common sense either.
The heck with what they can or can’t find on a map.
Those are just facts and they can look them up.
These kids don’t even know how to function as responsible adults in a society.
Not just young people. Our former Secretary of State thought Mosul was on the Syrian border.

Their foundational problem is that they can't do math; not even basic arithmetic.
Us older folks remember when making a purchase, if the amount was 77¢, we would give the cashier $1.02 and the clerk would immediately give us back a quarter.
Try that today. Cashiers give you a bemused look, hand you back the 2¢, and advise you, "You gave me too much".
So what?
Math is the basis for everything in the world. If you can't do math, you'll believe every lie the political Left throws at you.
You also can't balance a checkbook, calculate, in your head, which product is the better buy at the grocery store, figure out whether Social Security is a good deal, calculate whether you'll be able to pay back your student loan, calculate your taxes, or much else.
The intentional "dumbing down" of student numeracy is the foundation for the "dumbing down" of everything else, and the creation of "Stepford" Democrat voters.
Had an argument with co-workers last week about the election. One Bernie supporter and now Hillary supporter didn’t even know the 1st Amendment. What an idiot!
I expressed similar sentiments to a teacher. She huffed and puffed but couldn’t refute them.
Old people say that every day.
Schools and colleges have been brainwashing them for decades - what’s more surprising is those that still have their heads on straight.
Historic amnesia and academic incest
Every sentence of Williams’ essay is true. It is painful to watch my fellow student struggle to use a ruler. Using ratio and proportion to increase the size of something? Impossible!
And....Bil Clinton's impeachment was about sex. Right?
It's sad.
From the Greatest Generation to the Dumbest Generation in less than one lifetime.
