Decades of ruining the public education system.

You are confusing knowledge with wisdom.

"Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.  Wisdom is not putting it in a
fruit salad."

Self-awareness, critical thinking.  These things are needed.  You can pack tons
of facts into someone's head, but you can't make him think.  Ex: most college
professors.

Subversion of the public schools.  You start with 4 generations ago and dumb
them down a bit.  They can't see that they are dumb, so they allow their
children to get dumbed down even more.

Then you focus on young women so that they don't have children.  I think
Brittany Hughes (MRCtv) pointed this out.  If you take away children, women
focus their "nurturing" energies elsewhere.  And being able to be manipulated
by the "crowd", they can be manipulated into nuturing people who will kill (and
worse) them.

You then end up with a bunch of LARPers, who live in a delusion in which they
are the main character.  And they lack the self-awareness andn critical
thinking skills to self-correct.
