It's all part of the "dumbing down of America" that has been going on
for the last 20-30 years.

Seems to me it started back farther than that.... probably in the late
60's when the "new math" was being pushed by pointy headed liberal
educators.

And don't forget the "whole word" approach that they tried instead of
phonics for teaching reading. Many people today are suffering from marginal
literacy due to that poor concept.
