Why bother learning when you can ask your phone for the answer?

As somebody on Instapundit pointed out, this is being done to keep people from competing with the higher income people. Everything about liberalism is about keeping people down and not being able to compete with the liberal class.

Whether it be an uncompetitive education system or DEI, it’s about about protecting the upper incomes from competition.

Shut down the Department of education and return education to the states and it will be fixed as much as anything can be.

On this issue, Vivek was right.

Common Core anything; reading or math, should be ignored.

Common core os a great success at what it was intended to accomplish.
A race to the bottom.

Why should the Experts worry about the success of their own ideology?

It was to create a stratified America, where the upper incomes got all the training to get their incomes and keep the lower classes on the bottom by denying them skills, no matter their work ethic.

Decades ago, my dad often said the entire generation of kids at that time was (1) too stupid to learn, and (2) too lazy to put forth the effort. He’d be pinwheeling in his grave if he could see the state of today’s youth.

This story about pubic school kids falling behind has nothing to do with what Vivek was talking about, justifying replacing the American STEM white collar workforce with indentured servants.

Vivek is FOS. The pool of high IQ students that could go into IT won't because of the foreign invasion and H-1B visas .

“The United States Department of Education’s (ED) budget for 2024 is $238 billion. This makes it the sixth highest-funded federal agency”
Why? What for? Nothing but jobs for bureaucrats, nothing more.
Abolish the agency NOW!

First step, fire the education experts. Second step, focus on Reading, writing in arithmetic and toss out all of the government social engineering government.

Vivek is a carpetbagging Hindu supremacist and he deserves to be booted from the patriotic America first movement..

My dad tought me to read Sunday mornings when my mother was at church.
I could and did read adult novels when I was five years old.

One smart and loving parent can do this for their kids. Are smart and loving parents in short supply?
