“Equity” is an euphemism for ….

Racing to the lowest common denominator.

Close the public schools.

They do more harm than good.

The Dumbing Down of American kids. These same kids who can’t do math, can’t read or speak English are the “young skulls of mush” (Rush Limbaugh) the commie libs want us to listen to when they’re flapping their drooling jaws about “climate change” and who also want to give the right to vote to just because they know how to poke a cellphone. IOW. Morons.

Increase the standards on groomer teachers. Implement spot knowledge tests. Any grade below 90% results in termination, revocation of their teaching license, and loss of pension. I think this proposal is overly kind and fair. Failing teachers should not be charged with fraud and face prison time. They can be productive members of society by learning to say, “Do you want fries with that?”

I see simple signs of this all the time. This morning a problem posted onlne.

You’re 2 and your cousin is twice your age. How old will she be when you’re 40. Most people answered 80 or 60. I can explain 80 (twice as much as 40), but how do you get 60? Yes a few said 42.

Go to a young cashier and when the bill is $17 give them a 20 and 2 ones and see what happens.

Public education is a monoploy...a shame we can’t use the Sherman anti-trust laws to break it up.

Lowering standards won’t accomplish anything. This country needs educated people.

I usually have to explain it to them.
I don’t mind helping with ignorance,
however, I despise stupid.

Hey, give them a break. I’m sure the Chinese, Russians, Iranians, N Koreans and even Mexican school systems are dumbing down their kiddos also so they don’t make our alumni look too bad on the world stage.

so I was in sacramento a few years ago and went through the snack bar line.

here’s your receipt sir. The young woman of college age offered. No thanks i don’t need a receipt. Well you have to take it. Uh, no. If you don’t I will get fired. Then you need to finish school and find and employer who is not an idiot.

Ever notice with computers we now have more paper? I drive through carls Jr. a receipt when you pay, a receipt on the bag where they fold it over and hand it to you to try and force the receipt into your hand, and a receipt inside the bag. Maybe it’s just me.

Much of the current guidance for American education is taken from the following:

1) Polish children only need to be taught to count up to 500.
2) They need to be able to read and understand simple instructions.
3) Above all, they need to learn to obey their German masters.

- Heinrich Himmler, 1940
