So 40% of youth ain’t that bright - that sounds about normal.

“...Social Studies”.

There you have it. History was changed to social studies and is nothing more than democrat propaganda. This is true in every middle and high school across the caountry.

Until we wake up and change the curricula, President Trump’s presidency will just be a blip on the path to the complete new world order.

Sorry to be pessimistic, but so many people realize that there is socialist brainwashing happening in college and they fail to realize that it starts in kindergarten and has been in place since the 60’s.

(not you the poster- this is a general statement).

Generation Zombie.

They were handed a digital parent as soon as they could hold it in their hands.

I am at the younger end of the Baby Boom so unfortunately I will likely live the end stage of my life in this dystopian nightmare.

Why is there even discussion of anything “political” in any class except Social Studies?

They've politicized EVERYTHING. Including mathematics.

If a train leaves Kansas City headed for Los Angeles at 8:53AM at a speed of 70 MPH, and another train leaves Los Angeles headed for Kansas City at 10:14 AM at a speed of 58 MPH, how racist are the white people who elected Donald Trump?

And so I ask, for the umpteen-thousandth time, just what in the hell is Betsy DeVos doing to earn her paycheck??

Gen Z has been robbed of an education and condemned to an indoctrination of leftist notions.

They get leftist propaganda 24/7 from Hollywood, schools, and social media. And they get very little exposure to those on the right because right-wing voices have been silenced in Hollywood and are actively being suppressed in schools and on social media.

50 years ago this open debate consisted of my American History teacher, me and a now liberal journalist girl having a conversation while the rest of the class listened or dozed off.

The only ones that are “confused” are the stupid.

And there’s no hope for them anyway.

Gen-Z is defined as anyone who does not personally remember 9-11.

These days “fact checking” means going to Snopes to see what they’ve determined, not actually looking into it for yourself. That’s too much work for most students, hey, and even most adults.

They. Don’t. Know. Anything. NOTHING!

On the contrary, they know so many things which are not true.

When I was between 13 and 22 I NEVER discussed even one of the things mentioned in this article with my friends.

Our discussions were limited to

Who won the game last night
Did you check out the rack, butt, legs on ____________(fill in name)

who is getting more (if any at all)

I’m talking about the 50’s

Yup.

My experience with young people is that they tend to believe ANY piece of propaganda that is fed to them through their phones. Because it was delivered to them through technology.

Try and point out the illogic and the fallacies and you become “the grumpy old man telling me to get off my lawn” (their new meme for anyone who tries to be the adult in the room).

Absolutely true. Women don't understand how for a guy at those ages it is absolutely impossible to turn-off the hormones. It actually comes as a relief in your mid-20's when you find some ability to focus on other things.

I think the Black Panthers in front of polling locations was a test run and they thought they wouldn’t need them since the smartest, most honest woman to ever run for President was on the ballot in 2016. (I think I just puked in my mouth, a little)

Anyway, they won’t be so scared, especially in cities like Portland and LA and various other locations. The Anti-First Amendment (AntiFA) people will be out in force, unless they are dealt with harshly and quickly! The Liberal Leftists are way PAST talking, they are in the INTIMIDATION business now!

Think of the mafia shakedown scenes in most movies: first time, a nice guy shows up and asks for protection money. Second time, a rougher looking guy shows up and demands money and breaks some stuff in your store. Third time, the really bad guys show up, break YOU and take ALL YOUR MONEY! The forth time, it’s the nice guy from the first time before...because he knows you are going to pay this time (and every time hereafter)!
