What do you think about the dumbing-down of America?

Question

I only want to hear from Americans.

This type of shit breaks my heart because these liberal scum ONLY care about being popular with the other woke, liberal scum. They don't give a shit about the kids or their future.

The real truth is they think minorities are too stupid to learn. Rather than work with the families to help them learn and keep up, let's make the standard lower and dumb down the rest of our society.

Typical Democrat response to everything they touch. They "think" this will help minorities, when in fact, it will only make their entire education system FAR worse! This is how the left wants our entire education system to be.

I remember the start of no child left behind.

I was one of the most gifted and talented students in the school and they passed a law that said the entire class had to move at the place of the slowest student.

We openly called it no child gets ahead. They didn't help the dumb kids at all. They just slowed the rest of us to their speed.

The honest truth is that most people could get so much more out of school than they do, but it's not intended to educate young people. It's intended to make them behave and tell them how to live.

They don't want kids to be able to go right into good jobs, or do their own research, or develop their own political opinions and public policies. They want some kids to work for $7.25 forever and some kids to pay $300,000 for a diploma that only means "exceptionally indoctranated"

They don't want anyone learning how to do any jobs until they get there because if you know the right way, you'll know when the boss isn't doing it.

It's not an educational system anymore. It's a social construct definition center.

They want every kid to leave there with the knolodge and intelcet of the dumbest kid in the class so they only know how to do what they are told.

Today, 50% of middle and high school students consider suicide at least every other day, and they don't stop doing what they are doing. They don't talk about the problems and try to fix them.

They force the teachers to teach racial divisionism and political propaganda.

It's an absolute disgrace. It's already backfiring because at least the Chinese ones teach some technical skills so, they have been crushing us in a lot of ways.

I literally just heard today that some of our school systems have entirely removed their standard of learning (standardised tests) because... Wait for it... They are racist. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Couldn't make that shit up. "Black kids can't pass the test, so the test is racist. We aren't going to work harder to educate them, we just decided to not test anybody. Actually learning things is a deragatory handicap. It's really just about being a part of something"

And yeah, it was one of the leaders of Black Guns Matter who I saw talking about how... THAT is not only racist but extremely damaging. Imagine if I came out ten years ago and said "black kids are too stupid to pass the test so we're just going to stop testing students"

That is now the lefts idea of "fighting racism"

But... Most smart people see right through that crap. It's all about tightening the jaws of opression around the hearts and minds of the young. Nobody should have to be poor anymore, but if nobody was working for less than it cost to live, nobody could have an 800 million dollar super yaght all to themselves.

That's really all it's about.

That is incorrect, they are not doing this because they want to be popular with the woke, they are doing this because they want to actively destroy america. How else do you think they can claim the things they do with a straight face? Everything they say and everything they believe can and is provably false yet they say it anyway because their goal is complete collapse. Its a war of attrition and they have been winning. Stupid people vote left (and they are leftists not liberals, their is nothing liberal about their ideology), ignorant people vote left, people who have no idea what is going on vote left. This gives them greater and greater power to undermine and collapse the system. Then when its all said and done these people think they will become the new elite class, not realizing that they will likely be the first to be executed along with patriots who fought them the entire way. This is how marxist operate and have always operated and likely always will operate, they rely almost exclusively on the stupidity and ignorance of a society, on their decadence and their hate and they turn that against them. This is all part of the plan.

As a former American highschooler who barely passed standardized tests... I'm not dumb. I can communicate and work advanced jobs as well as anyone else. I'm a productive member of society in a middle management position.

My state thinks that you need to be able to speed read the most boring excerpt from some dull, verbacious story and answer a bunch of multiple choice questions about it. My state thinks that you need to memorize and recite advanced arithmetic concepts. My state thinks you need to commit to memory every historical event and major political figure from the last 5000 years.

None of this testing reflects my ability as an employer or employee. As a member of my family or my community. A high school diploma should show you're capable of being a productive member of society and emotionally developed enough to maintain healthy personal and professional relationships.

The educational requirements for graduation need to change. High schools need to stop teaching fluff subjects like history and reading comprehension to students who have already shown proficiency. Instead classes should be offered in real-world subjects such as financial responsibility, internet safety, logic and ethics. Students need to learn how to tell the difference between fact and rhetoric, the difference between persuasion and manipulation.

We, as adults, need to understand that we learned based on pre-internet principles. Our education was about memorization because information wasn't readily available. Now there is more information instantly available than our children can consume in a lifetime, they need to learn how to access, analyze, and make well-informed decisions based on this information.

If you look at the bigger picture you will quickly realize that such things does effect a country whole. The point of politics is to keep people divided, distracted and fighting against one another. Because doing so allows people in many people in positions of power to use their power in just about way they want. They also do so with hardly any worry of punishment for their actions.

If you and many others want to stop the dumbing down of America accepting this harsh reality is the first step. The second step is to tear down the political isles and unite with those liberals. Because they are part of the cycle just like you and everyone else is.

The United States isn't going to change for the better tell we are all united. Staying as fragmented as we are simply greatness things will get worse. The same can be said for humanity in general.

RealMarek · Answer

The US has achieved amazing things but somehow, for whatever reason, cannot teach large swaths of its population to read or do basic math, and imports capable labor. A stupid electorate makes a pliable electorate. Stupid people are easily exploited. It makes me think this is exactly what our elites want.

BCA6010 · Answer

It's stupid, but I don't know why anyone would expect any different at this point. I mean if you can identify a problem, why bother actually addressing it by improving education (which I guarantee the teachers and schools themselves are a major problem here), when you can just decide that the core fundamentals that schools exist to teach aren't as important as brainwashing kids into becoming racists?

Celtero · Answer

Oh, it's a problem... and I think it's a broader issue in our society that doesn't even have to do with policy. People don't value being smart, smart people are not rewarded for being smart.

NamerOfStars · Answer

Oh, it's disgusting- but it was no less disgusting when it was the Republicans pushing No Child Left Behind nonsense. The Democrats are just less subtle about it. An ill-educated voter base is an easily angered, easily scared voter base, and those who are angry and those who are scared are those who are easily manipulated.

Political and business elites have seen their counterparts in many other countries do their best to keep their people dumb, divided and under their thumb for many years and they want the same dominance to ensure their power and wealth.
