It makes me sad and confused to know that almost half our country are ignorant and incapable of critical reasoning. How did we become so stupid? Home schooling? I grasp at possible reasons without satisfying answers.

They were already stupid, misogynistic, and bigoted. No one ever said the quiet part out loud. Agent Orange and the trauma from Covid, gave the green light to people's vulnerabilities and fears. Self righteous entitlement followed. Republicans jumped all over it for their own narcissistic desires for ideological power. Billionaire neoliberal oligarchs felt like they won the lottery. Balls to the walls they went.
The functionally illiterate. I have friends who are teachers, who describe teaching children to take standardized testing replaced critical thinking skills. Shitty parents and administrators who refuse to listen to change and play politics. Then there's the Republicans stripping away their funding every year with the goal of privatization. And we are full up on ignorant people unaware of their own ignorance. It's exhausting.
Home schooling is mostly embraced by the religious or the very lazy who don't want to get their kids ready for school. Either way, the kids get a substandard education.

I rewatched Idiocracy & it’s here now, not 500 years in the future
I absolutely think homeschooling has to have strict regulating. It's insane to have so many uneducated people with no clue how society & govt work.
