Gen Z education.

I must write so I can speak. I fear destruction and ruin for a country and civilization I love: America. Many cultures and nations fall and rise on one principle: remembering. Remembering the past so the future may be safe. Remember the principles and virtues that make a society flourish and grow like a beautiful garden. Why does a simple act of memory save or doom a nation? Because if you don’t know where you came from, you are doomed to repeat the failures of the past. Why do certain things work in building a bridge and other things make it crumble? Why did the Aztecs sacrifice babies in blood rituals, and the Spaniards stop them? Why did the Spaniards have steel and Aztec warriors wear jaguar skin while wielding obsidian blades?

Today in America, her youth does not know the past. They do not know why they live in abundance of material goods and food. They have iPhones with unlimited computing power; scientists in ancient Babylon and Alexandria would weep if they had such devices. But they use them to rot their minds with nihilism and garbage music. They have ten thousand books from the Library of Alexandria at their fingertips, yet they are more ignorant of history than their fellow citizens were 100 years ago.

If you ask them a simple question about the history of America or Europe, they stare at you blankly as they pour sour patch kids on their tongues. Why is Generation Z such an ignoramus? The system. The education system is full of lazy educators and school bureaucrats who spend more time on social justice than basic math and reading. Deny that fact? Look at the results of 30 years of math and reading test scores. Has the level of reading and math gone up in the last thirty years or down? Down! Down to the bottom of the ocean, where foggy headed Z’s pollute their minds with weed and trap music. The lack of proper socialization is the worst in a hundred years. Decorum and etiquette are non-existent, non-learned, and non-practiced among a legion of millions of ignorant teens and young adults.

What led to these mindless zombies vaping and screaming into the wind as they fixed their mindless tic-tac addiction with their electronic devices? Institutions. All American institutions have failed. From the church to the schools. All have failed. They let these savages stab teachers, fail at school, and fail at basic humanity. Many of them are so socially awkward you would think they were born in a barn. No upbringing. No guidance. No mentors. They are more socially awkward than the last generations of Americans in a hundred years. A fat diet of electronics with little or no human contact has atrophied their brains.

How do we turn this thing around? I don’t know. But I do know what isn’t helping. The teachers unions are the mafia of the 21st century. They have done more damage to America than Al-Qeada did on 9/11. They have rotted the brains of tens of millions of young Americans. Like a vampire, the teachers unions see children as a source of blood money to gorge themselves on. They don’t give a damn about education or test results.

In order to save America and future generations, we must destroy the teachers unions. Bring back teaching based results. A bad teacher should be fired. They should not get a raise while failing our kids. And it’s not from a lack of funding or tax money. America spends the most per capita per student on the planet. And yet we get worse and worse education and results. Other countries are kicking our butts at education, yet they spend less per capita. There are children from New York to Los Angeles who are functionally illiterate. 80% of NYC high school "graduates" needed to relearn basic reading. Twenty percent of American adults are illiterate. Let me repeat that again. Twenty percent of adults in America can’t read!

If people can’t even read, how can we solve the problems facing America? Basic education in reading has long lasting implications and consequences for a civilization; from economic to infrastructure, everyone needs to know how to read. Are we going back to a dark age where Irish monks read books in candlelit churches? I sure hope not.
