I seriously wonder how much of the misconceptions the American people have as to the lies and propaganda emanating from this (and other) administrations can be traced back to the education system. As you point out, so many of the younger generation today can hardly function educationally as evidenced by the study the other day that said 23% of people enlisting in the armed services cannot even read at the needed levels. <br /><br />I have said many times in the past I do not have a college education. I am however a voracious reader, something that when you and I went to school was ironed into our minds by our teachers and parents. "You can always learn from reading". The facts are there and reading can in fact give you those facts. Unfortunately, the schools indoctrinate rather than teach.<br /><br />Funny that a Democrat who would probably be vilified (Sen. Moynihan) coined the phrase "the dumbing down of America". The information is there as to the corruptness, the agendas of our elected officials and the lies as put forth about climate, healthcare and for that matter the class warfare being espoused by this administration. The question is, how do we get indoctrinated younger folks to open their eyes and minds to reality. How do we get them to read?joetotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16614909072614184465noreply@blogger.com
