What few understand is that we are a society in transformation. At the top, a cognitive elite is forming in which the passkey to the best schools and the best jobs is no longer social background but high intelligence.
At the bottom, the common denominator of the underclass is increasingly low intelligence rather than racial or social disadvantage.
Too sensitive and politically incorrect for the media or anyone else to talk about openly -- IQ's relationship to crime, unemployment, welfare, child neglect, poverty, and illegitimacy; ethnic differences in intelligence; trends in fertility among women of different levels of intelligence; and what social policy needs to do -- and cannot do -- to compensate for differences in intelligence.
Yet, clearly the first step in coming to grips with the nation's social problems is for our political leaders to spread the message that intelligence and or the lack of it is determining the future.
Unfortunately there is no movement in that direction.....quite to the contrary we are being dumbed down at an ever increasing rate by our society's refusal to deal with the truth about intelligence......aka the stupidity of social programs such as 'No Child Left Behind' which fallaciously operates on the principal that all children are of equal intelligence and blaming the teachers for those children who do not have the mental capacity for academic success.
