deliberately breeding ignorance

[butters]

In U.S. history, NCES said there were declines since 2018 across all levels except for the very top performing students. In civics, scores were down for lower- and middle-performing students and were unchanged among top-performing students.

Just 13% of eighth-graders in 2022 were able to explain the significance of people, places, events, ideas and documents in American history, according to NCES. That means 87% of eighth-graders were not able to understand and demonstrate knowledge of significant political ideas and institutions and cite evidence from historical sources to support conclusions.

whether it's down to certain counties within states, or state laws undermining education, there's a toll on youngsters... they are deliberately being made less aware of those most important ingredients making up future voters. and that's exactly where republicans want them in order to get elected and enact the very laws harming the voters.

The NAEP civics assessment encompasses three central and interrelated components:

• knowledge and understanding of key aspects of the American political system and the principles of American democracy;
• the intellectual and participatory skills needed to apply civic knowledge for effective citizenship;
• and civic dispositions, such as understanding the rights individuals have and the responsibilities of individuals to their community.

In a lot of the states that Republicans control, educational levels along with IQ levels are very low. Years of inbreeding with drug and alcohol addiction to go with it have produced white trash populations that are too stupid and ignorant to matter. These states should be walled off and left to disintegrate and disappear. Who would miss a garbage state like Alabama or Arkansas?

I'm glad Republicans don't have a monopoly on hate and bigotry.
