State of Education in The USA. How many even know what USA means I wonder..


Education in America generally sucks to he point that one could call it child abuse and even country abuse. I know the teacher's unions are a big part of the problem but I'm sure it goes deeper, in fact I'd bet it goes all the way to Moscow in the 1960's if you get my drift.

Now I don't really care if High School and College kids know where North Korea is on the map or that it was Patrick Henry who said "Give me liberty or give me Death", or whether they could recite the heading or principle of each of the Amendments to the Constitution referred to as The Bill of Rights.

What blasts out at me when I watched these is that even Major events in our past are Completly Unknown to these kids.  That has to be by design.  They have no idea what the Civil War was or why it was fought, or by who.  Ditto WWI, WWII.  You get the idea.

As a friend tells me, when you remove a nation's history, that nation no longer exists.

Without Further Ado.


First a Short one


Now a Longer one if you have the time and interest and you could also skip through.  Maybe not a lot of value in viewing each and every second.  You'll get the idea Pletty Qrick as Kim Jong would say.

  1. I'll bet there are young people who don't know what USA stands for. Others have been pretty much taught it stands for Unconscionable Slavery Advocates.....They hate Christians, white men, and anybody against abortion...also learned in school :-( FIND KOREA? Are you KIDDING? They'd say "There's a North AND South Korea! Like North and South Carolina? near there?" Ugh. I can't think about it....a lost generation who don't even care as long as they get their birth control pills, their pot, and welfare checks.

    1. Z, Yes, I'm sure there are ! Slavery Advocates? par for the "Course".

      And as long as they never lose their internet connection. I don't see a positive outcome.

      I just read where someone in Michigan said they got 4 mail in ballots. One for them, and three for people who don't live there anymore. They filled them out and scratched a signature on each one and mailed em in.

      This is war and we are not fighting it.

    2. Mustang's story is so sad, isn't it? And your story about 4 ballots?!!! I saw incredible FRAUD in person twice during Obama elections........it was astonishing. When I complained, the idiot "Cool" looking precinct worker (odd, because they'd always been polite, very old neighbors before) said "don't you WANT everyone to VOTE?" Makes my blood boil to this day. I responded "not illegally" and left. THE ASS!!

    3. Here's the refernce Z Yea I can easily believe it. It is Why the dem want mail in voting.

      It is a sad story, but step one for America is recognizing the problem. The repubs don't care. No push back from them at all. Trump and crew are the only ones even starting to work the problem. They won't have enough time.

  2. True story, years ago, of course.

    Around 1988, a student at the school where I taught decided that she’d had enough of her single-parent mother, dropped out of school, left home, and became a roadside prostitute in the RGV. White girl. In high demand among Hispanic men. In 1993, one of the HS counselors decided to save her. Talked her into going to live with a foster family, re-enrolled her in school as a freshman student, now aged around 19 years of age. Now, this young woman was dumber than a rock. Could not locate a continent on a desk globe. Worse, didn’t give a damn about finding a continent on a desk globe. The boys in the classroom were keen on having a former prostitute in the classroom; their parents, not so much. Now, I happen to believe in redemption; I believe education is a life-long pursuit. It’s never too late to “go back to school.” But in these circumstances, “going back to school” should have occurred in a completely different setting —namely adult education programs. The counselor was doing “social experimentation,” and placing regular students (five years this young woman’s junior) at considerable risk. It was irresponsible to the nth degree. As it turned out, the hooker left school again and went back to her skillset.

    What is the point? It is that schools have become laboratories for social experiments at the taxpayer’s expense, and at the expense of students who should be learning the three R’s, who teachers and school administrators have a moral responsibility to provide with the best possible education. So then, what’s happened to American education? Gosh-awful and extremely stupid teachers and school administrators. It isn’t entirely their fault, either. This is the shit they are learning in teacher’s colleges from one coast of the United States to the other. Now, if this is true, then tell me there is no conspiracy to destroy America’s education system by those entrusted to preserve it.

    1. Thanks for the story Mustang.

      Stop me if you've heard this one, but a married couple I often have been having lunch with for over ten years now tell me they quit teaching 40 years ago because they recognized the system was broken beyond repair then. They were doing public school in Indiana.

      Social experiments, restricted and misdirected curricula, many involved in it for the score, and many more problems I don't know of surely. A school district here with 6 physical schools let 90 administrators and 100 teachers go back around 2008-2009 and called it good. What did those people do beside bring the donuts?

      Then you have your Out of control classrooms

      Some good schools and students but it wont be enough. Congress doesn't care, especially the dems cause they Likes em Dumb.

  3. Are the parents any better educated? Beside the lack of knowledge is the inability to do critical thinking which is even more disconcerting.. Friends were discussing that Canada was doing so much better than the U.S. as far as the Corona virus deaths. The implications were that socialized medicine was so much better. I pointed out that last I could recall was that we have about ten times the population. The answer was it doesn't matter.. I was tempted to pursuing their thinking but knew it would brand me as some right winger Trumper...

    1. You cannot help an idiot Bunk. Their minds are consumed with confirmation bias for defective concepts based on their fantasies.

      I'd say no, their parents are no better educated. This has been going on a long time. And these kids will likely all be parents soon too teaching their kids that the moon is larger than the sun and that the sun goes down under the Earth at night, and all the rest of the nonsense content of these vids and more.

      Yes, where in the US is the covid the worst? Heavily populated areas, NYC, etc. Seems a simple concept, but their lust for socialized medicine won't let them see what is right in front of their faces.

  4. Let me illustrate how stupid those young people were: they didn’t even realize that Jay Leno was mocking them. He aired a few even more egregious examples of stupid people over the years, such as people who thought the Civil War was the American Revolution. More recently, stupid people demanding that we take down statues of Confederate Generals, rename military bases named in their honor, and demands that we stop flying the Confederate Flag. If burning the American flag is a First Amendment right, then so too is flying the Confederate flag. Most of these people are worse than dumb.

    Bunkerville’s comment brings to mind the number of Canadians that travel to the USA for medical treatments. I’m told that the numbers of Canadians seeking US medical care is huge ... so then, how’s that single-payer system working out? But I suppose it is a good thing that people know what ROFLMAO means; it may come in handy one day.

    You’re right, Kid ... the dumbing down of America has been going on for a long time and I agree that it is intentional. How else could the Democratic Party survive were it not for stupid people and a few dead patriots?

    1. Sam, I've seen college kids interviewed who didn't even know there was a civil war.

      Well, If they didn't have hypocrisy they'd have nothing at all.

      They'll get their socialist paradise and I don't think it will take too long, then when it all goes to hell, the dems will blame it on us and the kids will believe them.

  7. I keep hearing that Gropin Joe Biden what’s to pick a “Woman of Color “ for his Vice President choice.
    How about picking a Woman with “Character”!

  8. Dumb and dummies... the blonde from Michigan State representing. I like Matt Walsh's (Daily Wire) plan: Voters should be taxpayers who can pass a civics exam written in English. Exclude all others and everything in this country would improve rapidly.

    1. That was the view of the original framers. If you don’t own property, you don’t pay taxes. If you don’t pay taxes, then you have no stake in political decisions. So, we did away with that so as not to disenfranchise the people from their right to vote and here we are today observing that votes are no more than bribes paid for more free shit. Ghetto dwellers have NO stake at all in the future of this country, beyond getting their monthly stipend, of course, or if you’re an illegal Mexican, your monthly allowance of SNAP bennies (which are often bartered off for cash). I often think that ghetto dwellers and illegals are ten times smarter than any Washington bureaucrat.

    2. DaBlade, agreed. And yes, also voting should be restricted to those who are retired or who have paid a net positive amount in income + property taxes. Allowing people who don't pay taxes to vote for tax increases is obscene. Well its all a pipe dream.

      @Mustang, I envision the education process for Ghetto dweller's and illegals is pretty much restricted to how to game all the systems in America. I was in a restaurant I used to frequent 10 or so years ago, and an illegal worked in the kitchen there. Apparently on the way into work she did a hit and run on either a moving or parked car (unclear). Anyway, some State Troopers tracked her down as someone got the plate I suppose and they are 10 feet away from while interviewing this woman. They asked her if she had insurance, No. Was she going to get insurance? No. Was she going to learn to speak English? No.
      She wasn't the least bit concerned. The troopers left and she went about her business.
