I’ve been railing against America’s failed educational system and the end results its produced. We’re beginning to see those results in this year’s presidential election as voters select candidates based on their positions.
Well, not exactly.
The poorly educated voters of this nation won’t cast votes for what they know, but rather what they think they know, which isn’t much.
In a recent experiment in Harlem, Howard Stern conducted interviews with voters on whom they intended to choose as the next president. The correspondent conducting the interviews reversed each candidate’s positions on several issues, including their respective choices for running mates.
You could repeat this experiment virtually anywhere in America and get the same results.
It’s not just voter registration we should be worried about, it’s educating voters on the issues and how to explore a candidate’s positions, allowing voters to make informed decisions.
Instead of a well-informed public, millions will cast votes on November 4 based upon what they don’t know or will blindly make a choice based on party affiliation, skin color or religion
A mind is a terrible thing to waste. Like sheep being led to the slaughter, the failed product of America’s educational system are about to waste a lot of time casting votes.
Perhaps I should have run for president.
It’s so funny that it it’s frightening.
Evaluating and comparing policies apparently isn’t good enough. Let’s hear more about this Joe the Plumber fella.
