A good article about how dumbed down, education-aversive people now pose as if they are 'smarter' and cause havoc, then politicians and media, especially right wings, export it in an attention grab This bit says so much:

"Can you name two living sports players?
Two movie stars?
Two musicians?
And now, Can you name two living scientists?
How about two mathematicians?
There’s the problem."

@MariaHill @TonyStark Yeah, Arizona is a very segregated state in terms of race and ability level. Much of our tax $ is going into Charter operators' pockets. Arizona voters either knowingly or not keep voting anti-public education and it becomes a very anti all education stance #dumbingofamerica #education #charters #publiceducation
