The dumbing down of America shows itself more and more every day in the political class - if that's what she is considered - which I wouldn’t.

The dumbing down of America shows itself more and more every day ...

Very true. I recently read an article saying the highly-respected New York University fired a professor because premed students loudly screamed and complained to the administration that his chemistry class was too hard. Definitely dumbing down ... remind me to never have an operation performed by a surgeon who got his premed degree from NYU.
