And Kate Brownshirt signed a law saying high school graduates no longer need to know how to read, write, or do math 🙄 https://legalinsurrection.com/2021/08/oregon-gov-kate-brown-signs-law-removing-basic-literacy-and-math-skill-requirement-for-high-school-graduates/

Very convenient, since the government "schools" have not taught them for some time.

Just one national disgrace among countless others.

Maybe they don't care since so many will be culled by the vaccines. Why waste the effort?

And the future for the ones that live are to be hooked up to the matrix, to play video games and live on UBI.

Partly, perhaps, but I think it’s more that they want a generation of illiterate automatons who will mindlessly follow orders and who are incapable of independent thought.

I heard a few years ago that children in American schools no longer learn how to write. Just typewrite. My late friend joked that in 30 years from now, no one would be able to read our letters anymore

That is heartbreaking if true, and I have had the same worry myself. The art of letter-writing is dying, and we have lost that individualistic, human touch in our communications. I treasure the handwritten letters I have from beloved family members who are no longer with me, and seeing their personality in their written expression makes them all the more precious to me.

Doing my family research I had to learn 17th century cursive. Not easy so the future is secure for those transcription workers.

Yep. Oregon is a gorgeous state physically, filled with truly nutty (and getting nuttier) wokesters extraordinaire. Kate needs to leave office.

Agreed re: Oregon, although I would not say filled. The radicals congregate around the urban centers, which do *not* represent the rest of Oregon, although they are the most vocal and get the most media attention, obviously.

Kate's not up for reelection, she knows which side her bread is buttered on and she's going for broke. Who will take her place, though: somebody even worse?

This is what you get when you issue at least one mail-in ballot to everybody who ever walked into a DMV... for twenty years now. That's pretty systemic.
