Has the United States become too dumb to survive? Not yet, but some aim to take us in that direction.
A recent piece on Slate argues that we shouldn't send our children to private school, no matter what. Sure, the local schools may be bad. But that's apparently just the price we all need to pay. In fact, the lousier the public school is, the more important it is that your children go there.
No, not just to be indoctrinated into believing whatever the government wants you to believe. Allison Benedikt has an even more frightening reason for insisting on universal education.
She begins by bragging about her own ignorance. She says she read a total of one book in high school, and brags she didn't learn much on her way through the University of Michigan, either. She insists she's “doing fine,” but how would she know? To paraphrase Don Rumsfeld: education, to her, is an unknown unknown. She's never studied, clearly doesn't care to, and would prefer that nobody else do so either.
