There are several problems with the modern-day public school system that is run by our corrupt government. I won’t take the time to list them all here today, but one of the results of all of these problems is a severe dumbing down of our children.

This has been going on for generations and only seems to be getting worse. Thankfully, more and more parents are seeing the problems and pulling their children out of public school.

Occasionally, I see videos on YouTube where someone will go out on the street and interview people and ask them questions about certain things that you would expect them to know, but they really have no idea and end up making a fool of themselves on camera. That’s exactly what YouTuber Fleccas did.

Fleccas asked young people the easiest questions in the world of basic knowledge that they should have learned in school, yet they have no idea what the answers are.

According to the Daily Wire,

Austen Fletcher, the bearded inquisitor behind the popular channel Fleccas Talks, dispatched TikTok star and man-on-the-street correspondent Justin Awad to New York City this week to test the knowledge of random folks with some trivia questions. You know, trivia. Like, how many eggs are in a dozen? How many years in a decade? Who is the vice president?

In the latest video, Awad picked people at random and good-naturedly asked them questions, studiously avoiding tricky subjects, like string theory or anything involving dark matter.

“Do you know when the U.S. was founded?” he asks one woman.

“I don’t know,” she replies. “Probably like, 1901?”

To another woman, Awad poses an even thornier query.

“How many states make up the United States?” he asks.

“How many states make – Dude! I know this,” she replies.

“You know this,” Awad agrees.

“Yes I do,” she says. “That’s crazy!”

But it becomes apparent that she does not. And it keeps getting worse.

“Very scary stuff,” Fletcher later observed.

Give the video a watch, I promise you’ll be disappointed.

If they are that dumb, why are they being permitted to pass every grade? How are they this far along in their education when they don’t know the basics? This is why we have so many liberals in the world.
