[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are so many people in this country promoting this new fascination with the poorly educated? Why is that something to aspire to?

I think the DC area is trying to hold onto whatever dignity we have left thanks to the poorly educated around the country who thought smart people are just snobs. Sexual predators with less education were the preferred way to go. We are all doomed when people like OP condemn striving for excellence and instead try to make it cool to stay under a very low bar.

My son will be attending a T20 school next year where he will hone his critical thinking skills. We are fortunate enough to be able to afford it and I cannot imagine raising a child who cannot think for themselves. That's how we got this very popular cult today who thinks dictatorship is good and democracy is bad!

What on earth did I just read?  Three paragraphs of nonsense.  And this isn't the political forum.   :roll: [/quote]
I actually agree with the PP. All we hear about these days are the woes of the "working class," and how we need to maintain and support their lifestyle-blue collar, low income, and mostly unintelligent people. It's become pretentious to support education and believe that people should go to college. We are failing as a nation.[/quote]
