“Americans are getting dumb breathtakingly fast,” says Peter St. Onge. In 1900, Inaugurals were written at a college level, but today, they are written at 8th grade level for Barack Obama, 9th grade for Donald Trump, and 7th grade for Joe Biden.
In 1828, Andrew Jackson’s Inaugural was written on a 22nd-grade level, in other words, a two PhD level.
George Washington’s Inaugural was in 26th grade, so you’d need that third PhD.
St. Onge notes that most people didn’t have a formal education then. He said we imported the Prussian school of indoctrination, and that started us on the downward path. St. Onge then went on to talk about the teacher’s union. It’s a short clip but very worthwhile.

“The Prussian school of indoctrination” really means, the Frankfurt School.
The fact that most people commenting here still believe in elections counted on machines, now THATS DUMB!
End government schools being the answer..
Ouch. That hurt, but it’s true. Common Sense is pretty much gone in this country. I love my God. I love my Family. I love my Country. And I love my Freedom (while i still have it) but for how long? Thanks to those uninformed lazy voters… how long will we keep our Country Free? Newsflash there is no such thing as a Utopia. There is a price for everything, nothing is free when the government is concerned.
Well when you let the unions the teachers belong to run your education and you also remember unions are only interested in creating more union jobs, for union family members to get some of the grift, education goes by the wayside when union progress and union paychecks are the real objective!
