the liberal agenda has ruined our education system, and our new generations are NOT capable of research and discovery.
How, exactly, has the liberal agenda (whatever that is) "ruined out education system?"
How? You SERIOUSLY ask that question???
Over the past 30 years, the liberal agenda has dumbed down our schools, diverted needed funds to support those who can't, and never will, contribute to our society, and perpetuated a failed and non-productive education system. Buried in their mantra of 'everybody deserves to go to college' is the ashes of a productive and competent education system.
The students we graduate today are incapable of making change, writing checks, putting three words together in a coherent sentence. The system we use today results, in a typical Midwestern city, 90% of the black students can't read at the 10th grade level, 92% of Native American children and 81% of Hispanic children are not proficient in math, and 44% of white children are incapable of writing at the 10th grade level. (I'll be happy to send you the specific data backing up these claims, and you can identify the city and the school district, but I'm not going to embarrass them in a public forum).
Due to political correctness, we have students, who read at the 3rd grade level, trying to slog through 11th grade Shakespeare. Due to political correctness, we have 5th grade children who can't speak English trying to decipher science textbooks. Due to political correctness, we have children who can't speak, who can't communicate, and who can't control their bowels, consuming a 'special education' budget that exceeds the International Baccalaureate program in 4 high schools.
We have high school graduates who know less, and have been exposed to less, than a typical 1960's eighth grader, and we have college students who can't even write. We have college students who graduate with a degree in mechanical engineering who can't use a CAD program, aeronautical engineers who can't figure out the transient weight load of solar panels in space, or figure out which copier to buy for the office. We don't hire college graduates and tutor them; we have to train them from the ground up.
We have so demeaned the value of a college education that you need a degree in business to sell insurance, a degree in finance to operate a grocery store, and a degree in mechanical engineering to get a job as a plumber. When real, and substantive, improvements are proposed for our failing education system, the liberal attack dogs jump, protecting teacher's unions, non-producing teachers, and an educational system that has failed at every turn.
And, this is all done in a misguided, and misdirected, sense of fairness and parity. Liberals want everybody to make money equally, but fail to recognize that most of them aren't capable of managing their money at all. Liberals want blue collar workers rewarded for their efforts, not for their productivity. Then, they use collective bargaining to protect the non-performers (notice I didn't say non-producers) from losing their jobs when they fail.
The education system is a spectacular failure ... and it's only getting worse. It's getting worse because of the liberal insistence on rewarding effort, not results.
