Our founding fathers were brilliant men who could realize the economic exploitation of the British wealth and Oligarchy as they indentured our forefathers to subservience to the King.  We fought a revolution with a populace and leadership who were intelligent and thirsted for knowledge.

Today, autocrats and exploiters attack the schools, science and intellectualism first because they know that injustice and exploitation identified and understood NEVER survives.......so America has borrowed a page from the Taliban.....and we think we are superior when this dumbing down process almost becomes a badge of courage......like getting a merit badge for book burning.

Perhaps we can focus on this anti-intellectualism and fix the problem.

Are there segments of our population that statistically receive and accomplish a lesser amount of education?

Yes, the poor. So how do we come to understand the causes and consequences of a poor and/or limited education that can help us fix the situation?

However, lack of a good educational foundation is not the sole cause of anti-intellectualism, reread the articles

Limited education? You are aware that we provide public education... and ANYONE that so wishes and is willing to work at it can achieve higher education. The opportunity is available. There must be other issues at play... wouldn't you agree?

Part of intellectualism is the ability to take in ALL available information... not just that which is politically convenient.

Keep trying.

Well... That must mean we can discount all the global warming and climate change stuff from the climate scientists. After all one doesn't change the data taken to fit the theoretical model... So much for that 100% consensus.

Because it's PC to change the data to fit the theoretical model so progressives can have an agenda?... Like most every other thing progressives love to do? Like the next word that you see...

If you don't understand that last reference you can ask Joani... Personally I like the change since I know I'm not the one writing it. I'm just writing the words that follow it.

As you well know, Progressives do NOT WANT improvement in education for the poor.
