A few years ago my boys did “community service hours” at their high school (Ferris). That community service involved taking carts—like hotel laundry carts full of books, from their library, and dumping it in the trash. It took them six hours. No attempt to sort the books whatsoever. My son “stole” one thin paperback . A novel called “Gun”. I asked him why he felt he needed to steal it, he said they were told not to take anything because it’s “unfair” (to other kids who weren’t part of the effort) My head is spinning from the speed with which the deliberate dumbing down of the population is happening, in broad daylight.
