This is not real, it was a spoof over the montage of Miss USA candidates answering "Should Evolution be taught in schools"

Funny!

But the way the schools are getting "dumbed down" and with the emphasis on feelings over learning and testing, I gotta wonder if this won't happen some day. After all, math is hard.

I'm not following you, please explain. Given the way some schools are discussing even dumping grades, because a poor grade makes a kid feel bad, it would seem like a fair comparison. We've already even dumbed down the SATs.

Go to a sports camp for 13 year olds then go to a academic competition for 13 year olds.....

The racial, ethnic and country of origin differences you will see will be staggering. I see it all the time.
