Public schools are the most destructive institution in America. Where did the journalists get their attitudes originally? We have had this non-education for six or seven generations now. There is no more knowledge of history or much of anything else. Kids grow up with no sense of what sorts of things work and what do not. They will believe anything ideologues and politicians tell them. The society is already gone. It is not coming back.

That is like the immediate reason that there can never be any accommodation between the Israelis and the "Palestinians." The Palestinian kids for several generations have been educated to certain beliefs and habits that cannot be broken. They cannot accommodate. They have not the mental tools to actually reason. For that situation to improve Israel or some major Western nation would have take iron control of all the schools in the ME and teach real academic subjects, especially History as things really happened.

Education in the USA and in Gaza is very similar. There is no real content, just attitudes, mainly fear and hate.

Absolutely, they imagine themselves to be reasoning when all they are doing is rationalizing and they are not even good at that. Even in the past only a minority were capable of actual logic and that minority is smaller and smaller with every year. Now we have reached the point that our so-called secretary of state refers to the ISLAMIC STATE OF IRAQ AND SYRIA (or Iraq and the Levant) as “This enemy of Islam”. That’s right, according to John Kerry Islam is its own worst enemy. Kerry is a fine example of what passes for sophistication in this era.

Agreed. Back when I went to high school and college, we had teachers that taught (some). Have you seen the Common Bore math curriculum? I am a computer developer by trade, and as intelligent as I am, I had a hard time following how they did simple addition and subtraction. They took a simple problem and made it insanely complicated. I feel this was on purpose, the end goal being the removal of America as a technology leader.
