Mediocre Man

Guest Post by The Zman

When trying to understand what has gone so terribly wrong with the Occident, observers often point to intelligence as the main driver. The populations of the West are getting dumber, so they are less capable than in the past. This is not to say there are no geniuses today or that there are fewer of them. It’s that their proportion of society is smaller than in the past. It is the smart fraction that is getting smaller. As a result, the progress of the West has slowed and may be in reverse.

More University Corruption

More University Corruption

Last week’s column discussed the highly publicized university corruption scheme wherein wealthy parents bought admission at prestigious universities for their children. That is dishonest and gives an unfair advantage to those young people but won’t destroy the missions of the universities. There is little or no attention given by the mainstream media to the true cancer eating away at most of our institutions of higher learning. Philip Carl Salzman, emeritus professor of anthropology at McGill University, explains that cancer in a Minding the Campus article, titled “What Your Sons and Daughters Will Learn at University.”

Survey: Seven Percent of American Adults Think Chocolate Milk Comes from Brown Cows

We are fucking doomed!!!!

It was later determined that all 7% resided in Maxine Waters’ congressional district

Via Brietbart

U.S. Dairy’s Innovation Center surveyed more than 1,000 adults over the age of 18 in April and found that seven percent of respondents thought that brown cows make chocolate milk.

An additional 48 percent of respondents did not know that chocolate milk is made of milk mixed with cocoa butter and sugar.

AMERICAN KIDS HAVE NEVER BEEN DUMBER

This is fucking ridiculous. The taxpayers of this country fund the bloated government run public school systems in this country to the tune of $11,000 per kid per year. Billions are spent supposedly educating our youth. The spending has risen astronomically since the early 1970s. The government has imposed a warped socialization agenda in the public schools taught mostly by mediocre union teachers. The result is there for all to see. SAT scores have sunk to new lows as spending has reached new highs. The control freak liberals screaming for more money to fund bloated teacher salaries, benefits and pensions don’t give a crap about your kid’s education. They want to fill their union coffers with your hard earned money.

The bigger disgrace is the fact that only 28% of all high school graduates score at a level that would predict at least a C average in college. Then why are 66% of all high school graduates enrolling in college? It’s because Obama and his minions care not whether the kids are intellectually capable of succeeding in college? Everyone gets a loan. No child left behind from student loan slavery. So we have millions of bone headed morons with billions in debt, and even smart kids who won’t get a job in this shitty economy, with unpayable levels of debt. 

You the taxpayer have dumped hundreds of billions into the government public school system, which has produced a nation of idiots, and now you the taxpayer will be on the hook for hundreds of billions in bad debt student loans made to the idiots by Obama and his liberal minions. What a fucking country.

 

Americans Have Never Been Dumber

Three years ago, we noted the dumbification of America was accelerating as SAT scores hit record lows. It appears the need for the Derek Zoolander Center For Kids Who Can’t Read Good And Wanna Learn To Do Other Stuff Good Too has never been greater as Bloomberg reports that students in the high school class of 2015 turned in the lowest critical reading score on the SAT college entrance exam in more than 40 years, with all three sections declining from the previous year.

 

 

The mean score on the math portion of the SAT, 511, is the lowest since 1999. The highest possible score on each section is 800.

The reading score of 495 is the worst since 1972, according to data provided by the College Board.

The test administrator reported the lowest score for the SAT’s writing section since it began in 2005.
