Stupidity in America?

I hear a lot of people talking about problems with education in America, with Americans being misinformed or stupid, etc. I have also heard many ideas to try and solve this problem. Some people say there should be more American History classes in school, some people advocate Voucher programs, and still some say we should just increase funding. Others say things are fine as they are. What do you think? Here's a video that should bring about some interesting discussion that I found on youtube. I hope you all enjoy it, and I'd like to hear what your reaction(s) are.

Please refrain from posting until you have at least seen the video.

Nothing of what you said pertains to the fact that unionized teachers are far too interested in themselves over their jobs.  Unionized teachers (also under corrupt administrations) have produced the worst education systems in the USA.

Nobody is sanely saying teachers and administrators should produce Einsteins.  They also labor under the brood of lower classes that frankly don't care to learn since they want to be just like their nigger mommies (and in rarer cases, nigger daddies).  Still, students who emerge from the public school systems must still read, write and do mathematics.  That is the minimum expectation and the minimum result of any education system.  The teachers are duly charged with getting that done.  HOWEVER, the NCLB Act demonstrates quite starkly how these teachers and their corrupt administrations care not a whit for their duties.

This exercise of point is literally inarguable and the more you try to do so, the less credit your entire viewpoint obtains.
