But they sure know what GLBT means

U.S. Kids Appear Lost in Geography Knowledge

If our education system continues on the current path structural unemployment will grow and remain unalterably high. The cost to society of these "takers" will overwhelm the capacity of the producers to provide a decent life for all and we will inexorably sink into third world style poverty with vast numbers of unemployables. Remember that roughly 47% of Detroit residents are functionally illiterate. What happens if this becomes the case for the majority of American cities? Over half the Hispanics in Los Angeles do not finish high school and we know that even those that do often require enormous amounts of remedial help to accomplish freshman college work. Fifty years of progressive education have worked destructive magic.
