Why are Americans becoming more stupid?

11

“This is now state of war, fifth generational war – from the inside, not kinetic, but lawfare against the society in order to destroy it. Destroy morals and ethics, the sense of fairness, destroy the understanding that rights only work when tied to responsibilities. Break the family – get young to not marry, be bisexual or gay if possible. Create mental illness (phones, entertainment industry, the ‘health departments, vaccine), increase Crime, increase anti-social behavior, import a vast number of unsuitable people, cause them to not absorb in the native culture to fragment society. Destroy religion. Destroy patriotism.

Remove enlightenment liberalism (the writers of the USA Constitution, for example) and replace the philosophy with Postmodernism, which is basically Satan’s creed. Grow debt past the ability to pay to service it, award entitlements to the public sure to bankrupt the nation as they have to be borrowed to pay them out – then have to borrow to ‘service’ that debt’s interest payments, which is called a ‘doom loop’, borrowing to pay interest on debt….. Make home ownership unaffordable to young so they do not have Families. Basically do everything the Unipartys of all Western Nations do – abetted and run by their ‘Deep States’ and Globalist masters. Keep ‘Forever Wars” burning to justify a secret Police state, the ‘Security Services’ are now watching you, their resources turned inward….

But enough listing – I am sure you know a hundred more insane things being done – and even enforced, to destroy us all. (Kneeling?) drugs, homelessness, just endless.

At the heart of it all is to destroy Enlightenment and Classical Education. One which has good and evil – not ‘correct and incorrect.’ The people are utterly powerless once you replace that with Postmodernism Liberalism. No morals, No ethics, nothing of ultimate importance.

Why are Americans becoming more stupid?

Our entire education system needs a revolution

By: Joel Kotkin, Unherd, February 26, 2024:

“The empires of the future are the empires of the mind,” said Winston Churchill. And judging by the state of education in America, it seems both of those empires could soon crumble. The dysfunction is evident from top to bottom: from Ivy League outposts down to the secondary schools. Both are producing a generation that is ill-informed, illiterate and innumerate. In other words, a generation increasingly ill-suited to function as productive citizens in a democracy.

One might expect, then, that the creation of a raft of new universities and schools focused on doing something different would seem like a fundamental necessity. After all, young people are deserting college in droves, with enrolments down by 15% over the past decade; in the lower grades, it’s common to hear talk of “zombie schools”, the product of more than 20% of pupils being “chronically absent”.

And yet, the emergence of these still-small shoots have terrified the educratic establishment. Some claim the shift in emphasis towards classics and civics, now occurring in places such as Florida’s New College, is “sinister development” by nefarious Right-wingers. Similarly, the teachers’ unions have resisted a number of moves to create charter schools — which increase choice in the public system — because they are part of a “war on schools”.

In some cases, the defence of failure is breathtaking. Blue states such as Illinois have worked to all but eliminate charters, even as the Land of Lincoln boasts 53 schools where not one student can do grade-level math and 30 where none can do so in English. These schools are overwhelmingly in Chicago, where a significant increase in spending per student since 2019 seems to have made no impact.

Yet Chicago’s failures are wholly representative. The most recent National Assessments of Educational Progress found that only 27% of eighth graders are proficient in reading, 20% in math, 22% in geography, and a mere 13% in US History. The Covid lockdowns may have accelerated the deterioration, but scores have continued to decline since the pandemic ended. IQ scores, which had been rising for decades, are now falling even among college students.

More influential here is education’s gradual radicalisation, which has its origins at the top of the food chain. Already in 2018, one study of 51 top-rated colleges found that the proportion of liberals to conservatives was generally at least 8 to 1, and often as high as 70 to 1. Five years later, nearly three in five US professors admitted to self-censoring to avoid offending administrators and students.

When you lower the standards to get dumber or smaller people the job it becomes a small dumb person job. Take the Police,Fireman or teacher job they used to be jobs for people dedicated to service ,not people that like the schedule or bossing others around.People that used to be those jobs are now working for computer companies. If your going to work for the money, work for the big money.

Chemicals in our food, drink, and, in the atmosphere? Or, 75 years of constant TV watching? Or, the endless lying assaults by the MSM to brainwash Americans? Or, our education system`s leftist indoctrination, starting in the late 1960s? Or, any combination of these 4.

It is religion of course,
once you start believing in things that are not true,
you can’t stop…

There are no gods, there never were any gods, not even one.
This belief in things that are not true and real is the problem!
All religion is insanity and islam is the worst kind. you will notice that all religions separate into warring groups called denominations who believe they are the only “correct” religion. muslims are commanded by their “god” to kill all non believers and all not good enough believers and actually kill more “fellow” muslims than non believers…
There are NO innocent people in gaza!
or any arab muslim country.
Not even the children,
they will be brainwashed to islam if they live to grow up.
you will notice that no other muslim country will ever take in muslims from another muslim country, they are smarter than us, they know that ALL muslims are trouble!
There are no recovered, moderate, or innocent muslims. The penalty for trying to not be a muslim anymore is DEATH!
We have allowed many millitary age muslim men into our country so it is debatable whether we have already lost but our only hope is to facilitate ALL muslims getting to meet allah in person ASAP!

One of the reasons is that the younger generation is spoiled, given everything, communist, black racism with infiltration of hateful Muslims. This is the formula for disaster.

That despicable fiend Joe Biden along with other of the far -left with their awful scheme to indoctrinated, as in brainwash impressionable young people in the American public system into the mindset of accepting and embracing the politically correct ideology and Islamic propaganda of multiculturalism under the guise of “education.”

First, It should be made clear the America and her school system was not founded of the horrendously evil and horrible junk as multiculturalism and CRT and WOKE as well as other nonsensical forms of PC philosophy including Marxism.

It’s back to the important things that children need to be taught in school .Which are reading writing and mathematics.

To put this in another way, school students would much better off studying economics based on the precepts of Adam Smith and the laws of motion by Isaac Newton instead of the worthless philosophy of cultural relativity.

Second, much of the greatness of the history of the United States of America is because this nation was, mostly founded and based upon the Judo- Christian percepts and the concepts and values of Bible based Christianity and not Islamic precepts and “values.”

As the second President of the United States, John Adams, had, so well, declared when he wrote that “The general principles upon which the Fathers achieved independence were the general principles of Christianity …. I will avow that I believed and now believe that those general principles of Christianity are eternal and immutable as the existence of God.”
