"What I want to fix your attention on is the vast overall movement towards the discrediting, and finally the elimination, of every kind of human excellence -- moral, cultural, social or intellectual. And is it not pretty to notice how 'democracy' (in the incantatory sense) is now doing for us the work that was once done by the most ancient dictatorships, and by the same methods? The basic proposal of the new education is to be that dunces and idlers must not be made to feel inferior to intelligent and industrious pupils. That would be 'undemocratic.' Children who are fit to proceed may be artificially kept back, because the others would get a trauma by being left behind. The bright pupil thus remains democratically fettered to his own age group throughout his school career, and a boy who would be capable of tackling Aeschylus or Dante sits listening to his coeval's [of the same age] attempts to spell out A CAT SAT ON A MAT. We may reasonably hope for the virtual abolition of education when 'I'm as good as you' has fully had its way. All incentives to learn and all penalties for not learning will vanish. The few who might want to learn will be prevented; who are they to overtop their fellows? And anyway, the teachers -- or should I say nurses? -- will be far too busy reassuring the dunces and patting them on the back to waste any time on real teaching. We shall no longer have to plan and toil to spread imperturbable conceit and incurable ignorance among men."

--C. S. Lewis

Okay, so Lewis wasn't specifically describing 21st century America. He did, however, accurately depict the state of a society that ceases to teach its children how to compete in the world; the very foundation of which rests upon the Darwinian Pillar... Survival of the Fittest. Or more simply... 21st Century America.

America is culturally, morally, and spiritually weak BECAUSE of Liberal Education. And as it took at least two generations to get where we are... it'll take at least that to redeem America. Assuming that's even possible at this point.

As bleak as the future looks, this is no time to wither up, and clatter down the street like so many dead leaves on a blustery autumn afternoon. Survival of the fittest still applies. It's time to adapt-- to the changing tactics of our enemy --or perish.
