The federals “took over” education in America after World War II in 1945 so they could dumb education down.
Back then, Americans could get a full college education FOR FREE. Today, a college education is so expensive, only the rich and powerful can afford to send their children to college. You can, of course, go the student loan route. Then you start off life deeply, deeply in debt. Once you have your PhD, you find you can’t get a suitable job. That’s because the feds are letting thousands of foreign PhD graduates into the US on H1B visas. The foreign PhDs have the same degree you do, but their salary requirements are half of yours. They get the top jobs, not you.
George Carlin (on Youtube) is right. What “they” don’t want is Americans capable of critical thinking. Americans who can sit around the breakfast table and discuss how badly they’re gettin’ f•••ed by a government that threw them overboard 77 years ago!
All “they” want is OBEDIENT WORKERS. Obedient workers who have just enough “education” to operate the machines and fill out the paperwork. Add to that “globalization” where American workers are in competition with Chinese prisoner laborers who now make cheap, wrong-sized, non-working, failure-prone copies of the quality products Americans used to make, and you start to see the Big Picture.
The feds wanted Americans to get less education and they got what they wanted. Why did the federals want dumbed-down citizens? Because it’s much easier to lie to them and get them to follow an unfit leader. They blindly followed an un-fit leader in WW II Germany, committing atrocities for their insane leader at every turn. Now, even after Trump lost, we still have dumbed-down Americans blindly following him even though he:
Trump’s administration spent most of their time PREVENTING Trump from doing the stupid and awful things he wanted to do—like dropping atom bombs on hurricanes to “blow them out.”
In four short years, Trump wrecked the USA.
He turned the United States into a “third world” country!
Here, as proof positive, is the eighth grade final exam from Bullitt County Schools (near Louisville, KY) November, 1912, 33 years before the feds took over and started dumbing down America.
College students of today can not pass this test.
Rather than pontificate further . . . I’ll just let the test speak for itself.
Presumably, the teacher would read these words and the students had to write them, correctly spelled, in their exam booklet.
