We're mostly surrounded by idiots.

Ran across this series of videos last night of a guy interviewing what looks like Gen Z and maybe the youngest Millennials and asking them VERY basic questions of either geography, math, history, etc.

Now...I get that there were probably some that got answered right and they were tossed out of the video because that wasn't the point, but the main issue is that he found ANYONE that could not answer these questions. I called by 15 year old son in half way though this so he could see it, and he laughed but then said, "Wait...is this real?"

Keep in mind when you're arguing with some activist on line, you may very well be arguing with someone like these kids. Next time someone wants to defend The Department of Education, they ought to be shown this video.

It’s time to shake things up.

Vouchers…….. The public school system has become a politically correct playground for the progressives.

This is every generation. Remember Jaywalking on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno? Young people being idiots is nothing new.

Put down the tablets and phones, pick up a book and read.

Unsubscribe to NETFLIX, Disney+, HBO+, etc.

Stop polluting your minds but rather, exercise them. This is the way.

I saw a video clip yesterday of someone interviewing a few millennial women on the street. He asked them "What is Obama's last name?". Their response was "Care".

I wish I was joking.

That fat girl almost had a meltdown trying to figure out another country besides the USA. Jesus Christ.

Just wow. I couldn't keep going after that. Exactly the level of intellect I'd expect at a pride parade.

Meh, this is a George Carlin bit from 20 years ago. One generation ago.

Nothing has changed.

Oh, I get that "man on the street" interviews are notorious for finding idiots...but there were several people who could not answer, "What does Y-E-S spell?"

I'd laugh, but those people likely vote.

i was talking to a sixteen y/o kid i know the other day about geography. she couldn't name one country in europe besides "south africa."

this is the same kid who has said she hates boys and never wants to get married, but does want kids, and lots of her friends think in the same way.

i.e. we have only begun to feel the pain that feminism/leftism has wrought.

I've been watching this guy for a while - he's perfect at what he does.

Be honest...these are not hard, but they are significantly tougher than the ones I posted.

I like how he simply answers, "Yes" when they say something stupid. My kid was asking why he did that, because he's even more argumentative than I am, and I told him it did not good to correct them because it would likely start and argument and he'd end up with no one else talking to him.

Just think how dumb the average American is.
