It’s been reported that only about 23% of 2009 high school graduates who took the ACT college-entrance test have the skills to succeed in college. That is not a misprint. It is a harbinger of our future as a second-rate nation.
Most college-bound kids do poorly in math and science. About half flunk reading. About one third flunk English.
Forget about training more doctors so we can treat all those new patients the government wants to cover under their vaunted government insurance program. That will mean health coverage with second-rate medicine and medical practice.
Forget about scientists. We can watch them operate only in scripted Hollywood movies. And other concocted fantasies.
But we can get more of the easy-stuff kind of college graduates. Such as lawyers and community organizers!
