The dumbing down of America has been a huge success.
Don’t worry, enough foreign students who are studying all the Science disciplines will save American R&D while the American kids Major in “Massage Therapy” or “Gender Inequality”...If American colleges accept the cream of the crop and this is how they respond to general knowledge surveys, we are doomed.
You're not kidding! I had a very difficult argument with a 24 year old relative last month about the American election. She called me a fascist pig who wanted to bring back slavery. When I explained to her that the Republican party was the reason for the emancipation of the slaves and for the restoration of civil rights in the 1960s, she went completely silent for a moment and gave me a laugh-inducing "Not uh!"
At first I thought she was kidding, and then I had to explain to her how Democrat governors in the south were the reason blacks were treated so poorly through institutional racism. She was dumbfounded. She literally called me a liar and charged out of the room when I told her that MLK was a Republican. It would've been hilarious had it not been so sad.
