Bear. Shit. Woods.
no stupidity and an unwillingness to listen and learn. The rats have done a good job of ruining a generation
They are neither ignorant nor stupid.
To paraphrase RWR, it’s just that what they know simply isn’t true.
When Mom “had to go to work”. That left children abandoned to TV, daycare and the schools. They learned what those who raised them wanted. Christians were bad, non whites were oppressed, Muslims were civilized and Indians lived in harmony with nature.
Why is anyone surprized that younger people don’t share the values of older generations?
What surprised me is the 45-64 group’s stupidity on the topics.
“Do Students Support Hamas Because They Are Ignorant?”
They’re ignorant about everything else. Why would they be knowledgeable about this one thing?
“When Mom ‘had to go to work’. That left children abandoned to TV, daycare and the schools.”
Yes. The feminist movement was the beginning of the end for decent civilization.
They can’t read, write, do math or know anything about history so when their phones say flash mob protest they do as they’re told
The 20 to 295% suffer from ignorance. In America today, ignorance is a self inflicted malady that is the result of laziness.
Saw yesterday that only 7% of protestors could name the river and the sea from their protest chant.
Like I’ve been saying, reporters need to bring a blank world map to these Hamas fan club rallies, and let the black and white students embarrass themselves trying to find New Rubble City (formerly Gaza).
I find it ironic that the LGBTQ etc. crowd supports Hamas, as being gay in Gaza is a crime and could be punished with death.
There is more to it than just ignorance. How many watched the movie “Shindler’s List”? It is projected in high schools all over. Its a great movie. How many students go to the local Holocaust Museum? Millions. Its a must do field trip. Every movie about WW II must talk about the horrors of the Death Camps. No, it has been over done and now the students reject it as propaganda. They toss it into the junk file. The current moves are not out of ignorance—but because they have taken up the Victim/victimizer view of History. In that view—Israel is Nazi Germany and Arabs become Jews.
I think that the criterion to allowing someone to protest some geopolitical event is that the protester be able to locate the area of grievance on a map. Without help from their iPhone.

Student visas.You can't radicalize college students without radicalizers there to start the movements. It is my contention that foreigners who are here on student visas from Europe and the Middle East are more apt to be agitators skilled in organizing protest rallies than are our students.
There are two forces in opposition at work here.
First, our own high school graduates who go to college aren't qualified to be there. High schools are graduating socially promoted students who can't pass standardized tests, who were taught by teachers who can't pass qualification tests, and who were raised on the belief of participation and effort, but not results.
Standardized tests are being dropped by universities as acceptance criteria, quotas are being put in place to ensure that the weakest amongst our children are the ones going to college, and early year curricula are being replaced with remedial high school courses.
It is into these institutions that our youth are being sent to learn how to become young adults, but they are not equipped to live on their own.
Second, the foreign students who come our universities are the exact opposite. They have the fortitude to travel to a foreign land, to live on their own in a different culture, and to be assertive in how they relate to other people regardless of the accomplishments of others or their positions in society. They have no respect for the authorities here and have a hidden contempt for the culture of the west.
I believe that if we look at the anti-Israeli rallies and who actually organized them, if we look at the people with the megaphones and microphones, if we look at the speakers on the stages and in front of the cameras, we will see that they are the foreign students, while our American students are motivated simply to participate in and belong to something.
