Behold the Effects of ‘Progressive’ Education

We are creating more than just another generation of virtue-signalers who speak before they think and who litter Twitter with mindless memes. We are creating a whole generation of such people who don’t even know they are the anti-experts, trained to know little and espouse a lot. They grow up and show up in our kids’ classrooms, in our politics, and in our media, degrading everything while believing they are there to help.
