Has the American education system completely collapsed? Considering college students seem more likely to be able to recite the first names of the Kardashians than the first President of the United States, it seems clear we’re well beyond collapse. Our education system is already a dust heap and the video below demonstrates that clearly.
It’s anecdotal evidence, but any of us who have engaged with college-aged Americans on a regular basis know that these dimwits are not the exception. They are the norm. Watch:
NEW VIDEO: Gen Z Fails To Answer The EASIEST Questions. VIDEO AT LINK....................
It’s a generational issue, as the original poster noted. It’s not just college students today. It’s “Gen Z” that is failing, or to be more accurate, it’s Gen Z that the education system has failed. More time and effort is spent trying to get kids to change their pronouns than on American history. More emphasis is placed on Critical Race Theory than basic geography.
Perhaps the most telling answer to one of the simple questions was when they were asked what the capital of the United States is. Someone questioned whether the United States had a capital. In fact, TWO respondents questioned it. Considering the current state of the union and the void of leadership coming from DC, they may be closer to the truth than most realize.
Daily Wire author Matt Walsh hit the nail on the head:
Gen Z is the most educated generation in American history and also the dumbest. Kids filter through the education system for a decade and a half or even longer and come out on the other end knowing absolutely nothing. The system is a catastrophic failure and should be demolished.
The people aren’t just college-aged. They’re of voting age. We can blame corporate media, Big Tech, mobile devices, and our failing education system for the collapse of American society in one generation.
"Idiocracy" is inevitable........................
My opinion of my fellow Americans is so low that I’m not sure they can be dumber than I think they are. If they were, they’d forget to breathe.
Not my kids. They’s homeschooled!
All by Leftist design.
However from this last generation will emerge the “Benjamin Generation” which will see the Lord’s return. They may lack the wisdom of the world but will have spiritual knowledge and wisdom and will meet the Lord in the air when He comes to take them out of the world and up to Heaven.
It’s not just the kids. There are plenty of 60+ people who’s minds are so open their brains have fallen out.
That's what I've done for over 60 years and will until I croak.
That's why I was far better read on history than one of my history "teachers" in 1971 who was a leftist shill.
Why aren't those of younger generations more curious?
The single focus of the Department of Education is to teach children to vote democrat when the turn 18. They have been very successful.
Thank goodness for that! The public schools are horrible, and the private schools aren’t much better. Congratulations on being an excellent parent!
“To a liberal, history started at breakfast this morning.” - Ann Coulter.......................
lmao. Expect them to start dropping from lack of 02 any day now.
Sorry to agree, but I have zero respect for the vast majority of my fellow Americans. We have had it too easy for too long - it’s become Moron-Rule. National leadership is a literal clown-house.
Some well-earned bad times WILL be coming our way.
Because they know everything and their teachers told them so.................
And what most people either don’t know or don’t want to accept is that this dumbing down of America is 100% deliberate, because it’s what most of the regime wants.
1. allow parasites in
2. let the insane(they create)run the asylum.
...works every time.
Agreed.
Narcotics.. Also by design..
That so true.
The destruction of American education was intentional.
Jaywalking by Jay Leno nailed this 20 plus years ago.
While it's hard to say if the questions are being generated artificially or if they're genuine, I see a number of questions from high school and college-aged students phrased in this similar form:
I currently have a 3.7 GPA as a junior. Is there any way I can raise it to a 4.0 by graduation?"
Sometimes, I see this:
I have a 2.3 GPA in my sophomore year. What's the maximum I can raise it to by the time I graduate?
Calculating GPAs doesn't require calculus, and students should've certainly been exposed to the basic math needed in grade school, yet here we are. They're completely baffled by a GPA calculation.
I tried to put on some better YouTube, animal facts, carpentry, how things work, some cartoon history, etc. They wandered off and never came back. When I left to go do something they came right back to watch the dumbest people ever talk about " how cool" Skittles were, or how much they love coloring on their applebooks.
So yes and no....
. They aren't stupid, they are LAZY, self centered, and have never been forced to give more than minimal effort.
they wouldn't make it on a 1 mile march with a sizable backpack. and would choose death over taking another step. If a war breaks out, I'd suggest bringing spices instead of food, because you could easily kill and eat gen z without much of a fuss on their part./s for those too narrow-minded to see the sarcasm ..Or am I serious?🤫
