Thank you! I will download this later!I think the whole world is being dumbed down. In terms of education, in terms of the creative arts and in terms of the medication we are being encouraged to take.

I heard about this book on Fox News radio today. Very interesting. They were talking about how the progressives are litterally trying to hinder upgrades and progress in the US educational system. The reason being the more educated a person is the less likely they are to follow their beliefs and support them. Statistics show people with higher education tend to be conservative, people with less education tend to be a lot more liberal.

Statistics show people with higher education tend to be conservative, people with less education tend to be a lot more liberal.You don't by any chance know where you read the part in bold do you? I'm asking because all of the Grad students and Professors I know are extremely liberal. In fact, from my own experiences with people, I would have concluded the exact opposite.Now as far as the dumbing down of America, I agree very much with that. I know people in a few different states whose kids are being taught "inventive spelling" in school with the reason being that kids will learn to spell in their own time. One person I know actually got reprimanded by her child's teacher about helping the child with their spelling homework! Another new policy is the idea of not assigning zeros, but rather 50% grades for assignments that aren't turned in, as well as the policy of allowing students to turn in assignments as many as several weeks late for partial credit (with a guarantee of at least a 50%). These practices are ridiculous and are oftentimes implemented simply to make the schools look better on paper (ie. there are less kids failing). They aren't teaching students the importance of being responsible and meeting deadlines. Then the students get to college and can't understand why Instructors and Professors don't allow them to turn in late work.
