TERRY MORRIS writes from Oklahoma:

I am very grateful that I live amongst people who, in spite of the “lying scumbags” (as you rightly refer to them) at the CDC and otherwise running the country, take all of this COVID nonsense with a grain of salt for the most part. In my ‘neck of the woods,’ you rarely see anyone wearing a mask or practicing “social distancing” beyond what is just common sense and common courtesy. That is to say, one should never invade someone else’s space, a principle that most of us around here were taught as youngsters, either explicitly, or implicitly by good example in our parents and elders. “My people,” among whom I live and work and move on a daily basis, might well be “under-educated” by national standards, but, and as I’ve pointed out many times since this whole COVID 19 crap started up, they are heads above the “common herd” populating the rest of the country when it comes to good old fashioned common sense. I do know several persons who have gotten the jab, but most of them are elderly and, well, they are individuals who are scared to death of death.

All of this raises the issue of the true value of what we now call “education.” For my part, what we now call “education” in this country is next to worthless, and, as others before me have pointed out before, it is actually and really dangerous. Dr. Dabney once wrote that its only real and lasting result would be to expand the criminal classes. Lefties say more than they know when they lament the “school to prison pipeline.” And of course your guest writer, Alan, is right that the education establishment in this country has succeeded in dumbing Americans down so thoroughly that the average American believes all the nonsense he is being told (by the CDC, the lying media, their lying, scumbag political “leaders” and so on).

I have come to believe that what we call education in this country has merely succeeded in accentuating human stupidity.
