The dumbing down of America

Stanford Feels the Burns
Excerpt: I’ve been waiting for each aspect of American life to fall to the level of stupid. Music made it with Rap. History made it with Howard Zinn. Television started pretty much at stupid and, with some exceptions, stayed there. Clothing leads in many categories as it advances to body paint replacing women’s pants. America leads the world in most stupid categories, but are trailing Canada when it comes to physical relationships. Our neighbor to the north recently gave the green light for people to have sex with animals if no actual penetration is accomplished. It appears that you may sniff and lick your dog’s butt for example, and commit other crimes against nature I was too repulsed to read about. The dumbing down of America is reaching its apogee. In a smarter America people could read and write our language, knew a modicum of useful history, and had at least a quick swipe at civics and/or social studies in school. They might even have heard of Washington (other than how he treated his slaves) Lincoln (other than how he didn’t do enough for the slaves), and have a fair knowledge of the Constitution. They might know more about the Civil War, World War II and Vietnam than they picked up in movies. We might have music that had actual melodies and lyrics that could be sung in polite society without sounding racist, sexist or endorsing cop killing. We are now in the most crass, vulgar and impolite period of American history. Congratulations to the liberals who felt guilty being superior to stupid people. Your children have joined their ranks. Yes, I’m getting to Stanford and Harvard. Harvard, as most people know, was engulfed and poisoned by the lower region gaseous emissions of the liberal Northeast and the belching sulfuric bad breath emanating from our nation’s capital. An education there today consists of learning how not to be an American, or at least to feel guilty for being one. American common sense and ambition are now verboten. Leftists relentlessly teach the superiority of everyone else in the world, regardless of the fact that even hearing about the oppressive systems most non-Americans suffer under would send the precious campus flowers sprinting to their safe spaces. Campus liberals preach tolerance to smash dissent, they fight racism by denouncing whites and their privilege. Only a university could be this disconnected from reality. (My friend Phil Jennings has a problem in expressing himself, he's too shy to say what he really feels. But if you peruse the essay below, with luck you'll be able to figure out what he's trying to say. I get the distinct feeling he's not happy with the state of our culture lately, but see what you think. --Del)
