Calling someone an unpleasant name is what the liberals do - isn’t it? (Fascist, racist, bigot, etc.) You resorted to the same device, instead of simply stating your disagreement with me.
Yes, the article was on math education, and how children are being cheated. I was making the point that the very premise was faulty - it’s the mistaken idea, that began in the early 1950s, that math and science were the most essential subjects in school, and the accompanying neglect and devaluation of reading and writing that contributed to bringing our society to the mess it is in today. Many people, even intelligent, seemingly educated ones, can barely reason, because they can read only superficially, have not absorbed great literature, and have no cultural/historical references.
Whether a hundred people chime in to agree with me, or none, does not change the objective merit of what I say. And your attempt to disparage me because there is no supporting chorus - that’s an attitude that one encounters often among....liberals, who don’t have the ability to step out from the herd, because their identity and sense of self worth is defined by the group.
That's pompous or arrogant, whichever. So I responded by telling you that your were a pompous ass, perhaps arrogant ass would have been better but whatever.
Yes I did not appreciate your curt response to what was legitimate conversation and bluntly told you so. If you don't like that try a more reasonable approach with whoever you might be exchanging with in the future. It won't be me as I recognize people who are arrogant or pompous and for the most part choose not to deal with them.
I might add that along with reading and comprehension comes communication at which you sadly fail.
