In just one more generation, the USA won’t be graduating ANY competent engineers and scientists.

A little far-fetched, but we're getting there. I recently watched some videos of malls and streets in China, they were full of shops and booths dealing with electronic products. We don't have that equivalent here. Smart people there in China (female and male), fully immersed in creating electronic gadgets and components, and hundreds of them in shops and booths outnumbering other stores. Meanwhile in USA malls, our millenials are selling smoothie drinks and are immersed in sports fashions and toys. Back in the 1970s and 1980s we had electronic stores, computer stores and the like everywhere; most are gone now.

Yes, it SEEMS far-fetched, doesn’t it? But whoever would have thought that WOKE crap would send us from Country #1 in math and science all the way down to Country #38 in global rankings in a few short decades?

If this WOKE crap continues and we do not get back to a meritocracy, where do you think this will end? How far can we dumb down secondary and college education and just graduate people without hurting their feelings with bad grades and the use of red ink on their papers?
