In 1900 inaugurals were written between 13th and 14th grade - modern college level.
Today they're 8th grade for Obama, 9th grade for Trump, and7th grade for Biden.
It gets worse the further back we go: Andrew Jackson's 1828 inaugural was written at 22nd grade - meaning, strictly speaking, two PhD's was the median voter in 1828.
Keep in mind Jackson was a populist man-of-the-people - Washington's inaugural was closer to 26th grade.
These activists spread government schools to every state and got a major boost post-war, when competency tests were declared discriminatory, forcing companies to instead rely on formal education to discover talent.
In a video last year I mentioned how fully 23 Baltimore schools had precisely zero students proficient in math, and in Detroit, 96% of students lack proficiency in math - 95% can't even read. But by gum, they know their demi-genders.
If we're to save our democracy, we have to save our voters - by replacing government schools with schools that actually teach instead of indoctrinate.
