I know that this is a dream forum but I feel I have to post this. This was not a dream this happened to me at the mall when I went to the movies.
I seem to see more and more kids who are for lack of a better word stupid. Now before you black list me for this please let me continue. We have a nation of children who can't read, don't know that France is a country, and that The World Trade center really existed. Now I am speaking of High School freshmen, not kindergarten students. I was at the movies the other day and three kids were looking at a poster for the new Oliver Stone film staring Nicholas Cage.
One kid asks the others "What are the two dark things?"
I could not believe what I was hearing, their conversation continued. Another kid said this is just a movie, like collateral Damage, a what if kind of story. I couldn't believe what I was hearing, I ask the kids what they were doing on 9/11/2001. These kids were like 11 and 12 when it happened, and they did not even know that The World Trade Center were two buildings that collapsed. I know that most of us don't want to dwell on this disaster but when High school students are not even aware of an attack that happened in their life time, one needs to question just what the hell are they teaching our kids in school.
We are raising a nation of stupid people.

Yes there are certain things that we ought to teach our kids about and not let them be too comfortable with their own lives.
