My wife is a manager of a retail store and she tried to share some details from a recent space flight to the international space station with some of the younger associates and several of them said they don't believe in that. She was confused and asked what they didn't believe in and they said that they don't believe we've ever been to space. It was most of them.No wonder why fascism seems to attractive to so many people. They aren’t aware/don’t believe in some of fascism’s worst consequences.

On my bingo card for today I did not have 'The Thriller posts his L's'. Young Americans not clearing even that low bar in history points to the failure of educators in the American system.No wonder why fascism seems to attractive to so many people.

It is sad. The blame for it is squarely on the American education system. These anecdotes are what happens when an education system's highest good is diversity and inclusion. I'm not saying diversity and inclusion is necessarily bad, but if an education system is dropping AP classes for reasons of under/over representation, then what you get is a system that produces retail store associates.
When did we have an education system that DIDN'T produce retail store associates?
There are a lot of reasons why people work in retail. One that my wife works with is in the National Guard and this is a second job. The ones I mentioned earlier are not the products of the schools you mention because they have not graduated from those schools yet, they are 16 year olds. A significant portion of the people who work in the store who are adults are immigrants, largely from eastern Europe for whatever reason, so they are not the products of our education system. Also, my wife started as an associate at that company before becoming a manager.
Good post.
You think it is acceptable for 16 year olds to not know we've been to space or that the Holocaust happened? As for the rest of your misdirection, The Thriller's article specifically said they were "young Americans". It is a giant fail for so many young Americans to not know very basic things. Specifically it is a failure of the education system that we spend billions of dollars funding.
The problem isn’t anti-intellectualism but willful incompetence among educators and administrators. Not knowing basic facts that should be taught in school is a failure of schools, and if you really want to point political fingers, the overwhelming number of educators are on the political left. You and your fellows are so busy teaching about the evils of particular skin colors that you have failed an entire generation. It would be one thing if it were only space and the Holocaust, but it is basic reading and math as well.
This has already been addressed in another thread about public education. You demonstrated a poor level of understanding about public education. You couldn’t even specify which assessment(s) Utah uses and some of the key stipulations that might impact assessment results. Instead, you paint with broad brush using your Facebook talking pts. So if you feel like finally responding to those pts like an adult, please do so in the appropriate thread.
