The stupidity of American students

Anyone who has been through the public school system in America, especially those recently, can attest to this. Not only that, but take a look at our culture, and it isn't a surprise to hear how mindnumbingly dumb American kids are when it comes to history.

Fewer than 25% of high school seniors know that we fought against China in the Korean War. 35% of 4th graders don't even know the purpose of the Declaration of Independence. Well under one in five 7th and 8th graders score "proficient" when it comes to history.

Not only history, but we lag far behind the rest of the world in math and science as well.

Why is this? Non productive rampant gang related activity play a major role in the inner city, urban test scores. Kanye West, Puff Daddy, and Eminem's psycho babble about raping women and "busting a cap in niggaz asses" are directly related to the dumbing down of the ghetto youth. And this ghetto subculture is quickly seeping into white American suburbia, which brings me to my next group of idiot students. The suburban middle class. While the urban kids are out robbing smoke shops, hanging at the tattoo parlors and being completely unproductive, the suburban, white, middle class kids are being just as unproductive. Sitting on Facebook and Youtube all day, playing Call of Duty Black Ops on their Xbox mommy and daddy bought for them, or watching MTV. Their lack of productivity is by no means illegal like their inner city counterparts, but it is non productive nonetheless. Then you have the white trash kids in Appalachia who can't afford nice TVs, video game systems, and sometimes internet. Sadly, they are simply born into poverty and stupidity. You can see this first hand in Donald Sutherland's PBS documentary "Country Boys". All I can say is, thank god for the Asian kids. They bump our scores up significantly! They are simply smarter, and know where their priorities are.

All joking aside, just look at our culture and it isn't hard to accept that we are just....plain....stupid people. We worship sports teams and players. Kids put sports achievement as a priority over academic achievement in America. In China and Korea, this isn't so. We spend hours upon hours of our days on social networking sites doing absolutely nothing but regurgitating useless information and further distancing ourselves from the real world. Just look at some of the idiotic babblings from American youths on Myspace, Facebook, Twitter and Youtube. Stupid teen movies like Transformers and Avatar with shallow messages and a whole lot of sexuality and special affects to keep them occupied and entertained. Cable channels like MTV and VH1 and stupid reality TV shows like this and this. Hip, cool, attractive politicians like this. Our culture is dominated and driven by entertainment and tells youths they can do what they want.

But the downward spiral of society is just the tip of the iceberg. Public education is also to blame. Specifically, the unproductive and fraudulent teachers unions. Public schools have failed their students. Instead of ranting for 30 minutes I'll let John Stossel explain it to you.

What's really beneath the Wisconsin union protests.

For the past week we've seen throngs of union employees, Communists, idiots, race baiters, Marxist rock stars, phony doctors, and haters of Fox News grace the capital of Wisconsin with their presence. This is the "Tea Party of the Left, Obama's Genius" as the left wing San Francisco Chronicle so dutifully informs us. In reality, it's a left wing paradise, a hub of idiocy and rage fueled by class warfare and organized by the Democratic Party. I like to call it, the Berkeley of the Midwest.

So let's get down to the nitty gritty. What are these people so mad about? Most are union workers that are angry they now have to pay a small amount of money into their own pensions and health insurance. Let's face it. Government employees have in no way, shape, or form suffered near as much financially as private sector employees have during the economic crisis. Yet, they continue to scream like young children in need of a diaper change when the time comes they need to tighten their collective belt like everyone else. The tiny dent in their checkbook, while the source of much of the rage, seems to be a secondary issue though. One needs only to listen to what the union thugs and hooligans running rampant in Madison are saying to see the bigger picture. "This is an attack on the working man!", they say. It's funny, I haven't heard a peep from the 70+% of private sector employees in Wisconsin, or anywhere else for that matter, complaining. This is hatred for the rich. It is the advocation of redistribution of wealth. It is an attack on the Capitalist system. It is none other than a reformed, Americanized attack by the Proletariat on the Bourgeoisie. ---WATCH---. It can best be summed up in one Communist youth's Democrat regurgitation that we must "tax the rich" in order to solve this problem. By no means is this the first time we have heard this from the talking heads of the left. The protest has become ground zero for all things anti-American and extreme, attracting all kinds of leftist revolutionaries eager to exploit the emotion and youth within the crowd. Communists? Jesse Jackson? I think in this instance, guilt by association does apply!

They claim this is an assault on personal freedoms and "rights" by the government. Is it really? Amid all this screeching is an irony so ridiculous it's almost laughable. These people, all union Democrats, are complaining about infringement of rights yet it is likely most all of them adamantly supported Obamacare, arguably the largest assault on individual rights in the history of this country. These people claim to be the ones who support the working man.......as long as they belong in an organized union. Unless you are, you don't count. What's more ironic, these leftists love big government, and here, they are arguing about government's intrusiveness into their lives. Why, they would make great Tea Partiers! Isn't this supposed to be the party of personal sacrifice for the benefit of all? Here's your big chance.

Let's take the teachers from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. On average, they earn a yearly salary of $100,000/year. In my mind, these people have nothing to protest. It is appalling that these government workers, most of whom make more money than they contribute, would skip work to complain about their "rights", and drag their apolitical students into their own political battle, for their own political and personal gain. This proposed bill is no more a trampling of rights than Obama is a Republican, and you can take that to the bank. Unions protect unproductive workers. Unions are the primary reason for Detroit going under. Unions are the root of the problem!

Governor Scott Walker was elected fair and square. He was elected by the majority of Wisconsin citizens to do this job. The actions of this small, union minority, and yes they most certainly are the minority despite what the media would tell you, are a slap in the face to the people of Wisconsin and taxpayers in general.

I said I'd get down to the nitty gritty and here it is. Wisconsin is broke. If the masses of idiots who have converged on Madison get their way there is only one other alternative. Mass layoffs. So the way I see it they have a choice. Either...

A) Accept the distinct possibility of losing your job.
or
B) Sit down, shut up, and make a little sacrifice for the good of the state.

Because that's what leftists are all about, right?

Want another reason why not to support the union thugs in the cheese state?
