I don't mean to come across as snarky at all, but I am curious. How are you surprised or shocked by this. Conspiracy theories about the NWO and loominaattieeee aside, it's very clear that this has been coming for a very, very long time. And by "this" I mean the erosion of people being able to think critically about anything. Parents all too often defer the proper socialisation of their kids onto schools, and expect schools to churn out fully socialised, life-skills-equipped humans, too many parents don't teach their kids anything. And in the absence of parents willing to bother, the state school system has stepped in, and teachers who suck are using their position to lecture and brainwash children into their way of thinking.
I can't understand how it's a shock but I am fully willing to accept I am a cynical fucker who has seen this happening in slow motion for a very, very long time now.
