Because, of course, it really IS “mission accomplished”. The stupidification of America is the mission, didnja know?!

Some of them even attempt to make change at local stores. It’s pathetic.

My maternal grandfather finished the sixth grade, which was all that was offered in the area in which his family had their farm. He read all his life and kept baseball statistics in his head, computing batting averages on the fly during a game. He learned how to read and read what he wanted to know.

So far, we are spending money and not getting much more than test scores as a return.
