That was back when probably 30 to 40 percent of people didn’t finish high school, that didn’t mean they were stupid, just that in the middle of the Great Depression every able bodied family member had to work just to feed the family.

Plus the fact the education used to mean to EDUCATE; the average 5th grader in the 20’s, 30’s, and 40’s was better educated and had a better grasp of the world and how it works than most college graduates today.

Talk to anybody with a Masters or a Phd; ask them questions like what does the 4th Amendment say, they can’t answer to save their own property.
Ask them where Ecuador is located on a map, they will probably tell you downtown LA or San Francisco.

Ask them who John Locke or Sir William Blackstone are, they will probably say they are members of that new English Rock Band.

Ask them what the word PHYLUM means in the natural world, they will probably tell you that it is some “new sexual orientation” that none of us have ever heard of but we sure as hell are PREJUDICED AGAINST!

These are all things we were supposed to know and understand before we got out of the 8th grade, now this is considered
Phd level knowledge.

Young people today are just ignorant/uneducated/brainwashed and pretty much worthless for living in a hostile world, hell even a Supreme Court Judge is unable to tell us what a woman is!

Pretty PATHETIC IF YOU ASK ME!!!!
