Do you think he got arrested?

I’m a California native and facts are facts so you’ll get no argument from me.

I recall going into a MacDonalds 2 years ago and ordering a fish sandwich and a large order of fries and gave the girl behind the counter a 20 dollar bill. Her cash register quit working so she had to get the manager to do the math to give me my change back!! I have no doubt that she was a HS dropout.

Here where I live there is a local radio talk show host who goes out in public and asks random people simple questions. It’s rather shocking to find out:

a- the number people who don’t know that there are 3 branches of government.
b- the number of people who have never read the constitution.
c- the number of people who are unaware of the size of the US debt.

This is disturbing to say the least and it gets worse.

Our children are getting dumber and dumber and the US is falling behind the rest of the world in science & engineering education and basic literacy. Some will dispute this but facts are facts and the preponderance of evidence bares this out. Go to any institution of higher education and visit the science and engineering classes. You will see mostly students from China and India with a scattering of American born students.

It’s not just our kids who are getting dumber but America as a whole. Today’s moron will be tomorrow’s genius if our education system continues it’s current rate of deterioration.

The legislation was proposed by President George W. Bush on January 23, 2001. It was coauthored by Representatives John Boehner (R-OH), George Miller (D-CA), and Senators Edward Kennedy (D-MA) and Judd Gregg (R-NH).

A veritable rogues gallery of stupid! Try again Teddy!

Yes, California has some really dumb kids. They are the spawn of a a whole lot of adults that are really f)%*ing stupid. If the adults were oriented to reading, study, intelligent discussion, instead of dumbing TV, worship of celebrity,you name the mindless puruit, perhaps the “dumber than a rock kids” would be a bit more impressive.

No wonder kids are dumber than rocks now.
As for no child left behind……..you didnt pass the class…..you stayed behind. Period. What is so bad about that? Oh, got your feelings hurt? Well then study and stop being a goof off.
Calif has some of the dumbest kids on earth and there is no excuse for that. Oh wait…….many are illegals from third world countries and dont care. All they do is hold back the others.
CA start thinking and stop being so PC
