1. We’re more educated than previous generations.

OK, then.Make change for $13.43 from $20.03 in your head, quickly. Name 10 state capitals. Recite the Pledge. What is water made of? What does our First Amendment say? What's the difference between AM and FM radio? When did we land on the moon?

No, you're more indoctrinated, not educated.

$16.60

Name 10 state capitals.

Sante Fe, Pierre, Austin, Juno, Boise, Columbus, ...that's all that come instantly to mind.

Recite the Pledge.

Which one?

What is water made of?

Two parts Hydrogen, one part Oxygen.

What does our First Amendment say?

Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of a religion, nor prohibiting the free exercise thereof, nor prohibitting the free excercise of speech or the press. (Yeah, I know I'm misremembering, but it's a prohibition on Congress passing laws restricting the press, speech, religion or imposing religion.)

What's the difference between AM and FM radio?

Amplitude (the size of the wave) vs. Frequency (how quickly the wave cycles).

When did we land on the moon?

1969

No, you're more indoctrinated, not educated.

I don't disagree about that for the public education system.
John Gatto has an interesting, and informative article here, and another here.
