Have we reached "Idiocracy" level yet?

[Funtatlaguy]

The movie Idiocracy is about a dumbed down America.
I believe that we have been purposely dumbed down by corporate America.
We are overly entertained, under informed and poorly educated.

Higher education has been under attack for over 20 years.
Having "common sense" is valued over "book learning".

If societies are not educated, the people don't know the proper questions to ask authorities.
So, out of embarrassment or apathy, they don't ask and stop caring.
They are pliable and obedient.

At least 40% of our population has reached that level.
And that just might be enough to destroy America.
Have a nice day, while you still can.

2. I think we surpassed Idiocracy some months time ago.

Idiocracy now looks like a plausible alternative to what we have.

The article is about inflating high school graduation rates and the disservice it does to students and, ultimately, our country.
