intent of common core is to eventually destroy our country
Common core
Athought about our "dumbed-down" education system, which also ties into what is happening with our libraries. We all know about common core and what has been happening in the teaching of math, critical thinking/logic, and the sciences. But not as often is it brought up what has happened to the teaching of what used to be common in our schools: shop classes of all sorts teaching practical skills, working with tools, electricity; even home ec classes have been cancelled and turned into (if they still exist) "restaurant management/hospitality" classes which are NOT the same thing at all. This goes hand in hand with what we have today in terms of helpless individuals who no longer know how to do basic car repairs (if indeed the cars of today even allowed such a thing), how to feed themselves anything but processed, microwaveable fake food, or how to take care of our own health.
False information which indoctrinates us into accepting expensive health interventions is given out in today's "health" classes. So it is not just the regular academic core classes, but also the classes that used to teach real life skills. Enough generations have passed (!!) that the parents have graduated from the same dumbed-down system and very few of them have these skills to pass onto their children. Even grandparents grew up making casseroles from canned cream of mushroom soup. Not only have real skills been lost, but even the knowledge that these real skills existed in the first place; we have lost the knowledge that anything at all has been lost. I exaggerate, only a little. Out in the country in the U.S., some of these classes and skills still exist and are being taught, but for the people in the cities and suburbs, not so much. For now, it is still possible to learn from youtube videos...
