"Government is dumbing down schools" says former Director of Education
According to a woman who used to work for the United States government, the government officials who operate the United States education system, as well as other education systems, are deliberately dumbing down today's youth. I know that they do this to a certain extent in order to create docile workers, which is what school is basically for, creating a work force. However, I'm not sure it's to the extent that the woman is talking about. What do you guys think?

and this is news?
the USG has been dumbing down schools since the late 70s; nit makes sense that a less intellectual population will not question the government as much

The dumber population is, the more less likely it is to revolt. Nothing surprising here.

The grammar here must be a proof of concept demonstration.

Let's think the unthinkable, let's do the undoable. Let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.

Epileptic fit?
"Every idea is an incitement. It offers itself for belief and if believed it is acted on unless some other belief outweighs it or some failure of energy stifles the movement at its birth. The only difference between the expression of an opinion and an incitement in the narrower sense is the speaker's enthusiasm for the result. Eloquence may set fire to reason." -Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.

Too long, didn't watch.
Given the de-centralized nature of the American education system, how exactly is the Federal government "dumbing down" schools? Not even NCLB sets a national testing standard.
