About Education in America...

What is happening to Public schools in Florida is pretty devastating. It certainly feels like the dummying down of America. They want to keep DEI history our of the curriculum, as well as remove Algebra and another traditional requirement to allow for graduation. We all suspect this is because they want a labor force that is compliant and which is not qualified for anything else other than low paying jobs. But, I think these dumb Republican governors forgot something. They forgot about the blue states.

The blue states will continue to maintain their high standards for education. So, guess who is going to get the high paying jobs? I predict that at some point, red states are going to be asking why students who graduated in blue states are more marketable and a lightbulb will turn on over their heads.

The problem here, is that we're going to lose a generation or two before we get there.

The red states will just continue to hate blue states, for being too educated and smart.
