We had to dumb everybody down because certain groups just couldn't keep up.

Liberalism at work destroying our society.

I am not exactly sure what it is that our secondary schools and universities are preparing students to do. Daughter of some friends has chosen a university based on the strength of their "cheerleading" program. Times have changed and maybe some of our old ideas regarding what education is need to be revised in a society where celebrity and entertainment are more prized and valued than traditional eductional and intellectual skills and professions. You don't need calculus to play on the pro women's beach volleyball tour.
