The author is correct that the U.S. still leads the world in innovation, freedom, fairness, etc. On the other hand, just because the rest of the world is worse, doesn’t necessarily mean that we’re not declining as a society. The Roman Empire in the 5th century was probably still a leading society compared to most of the rest of the world, but that doesn’t mean that it wasn’t declining. Does anyone here believe that American morals aren’t declining? And, as other have said, our educational system seems to be declining, as well.

We have precious little educational system left, it has been replaced by a job training system. University graduates are largely ignorant of most of the knowledge of history and government that was required of a student advancing from grade school to high school in the fifties.
