The Wall Addressed a Somewhat Different System

I want to spotlight [TW:  language] this conclusion:
And they’d have switched over years ago if it wasn’t for you and your band of Know-Nothings screaming and wailing every time someone tried to teach actual information in schools.

But hey, that’s apparently okay as long as the kids today get the same inaccurate, inefficient, and boring methods of teaching that produced the incurious, angry at change morons that write for American Thinker. Cause if it was good enough for them, then the kids will damn well suffer the same fate and like it!
Because the rest of the Sadly, No! article is slapping conservative sniping about education.  (Point for point, like whack-a-mole.  "Bill Ayres is a Time Lord," indeed.)

(Less "It's a cookbook!" and "Soylent Green is people!" and more "Someone as smart as you shouldn't pay no attention to all that book-learning."  Have I mentioned just how deep the tendency toward anti-intellectualism in the U. S. runs?  Not that intellectuals are blameless in the matter, what with the privilege and the snobbery, but people who'd prefer to be stupid scare me.)
