sterilize the illiterate
With all the whiny, soapy-dishwater blather one hears about the near-retarded state of American education, it's noteworthy that the teachers always get blamed and never the students. It's presumed that if you give the little monsters enough new shiny books and cuddles, they'll all bloom into frickin' Einsteins.
Without ANY instruction, I was able to read and write and spell before I entered kindergarten. Still, although every American is forced to sit in a classroom from the ages of six until at least sixteen, a staggering FORTY-SEVEN PERCENT of U.S. adults score either "barely literate" or "functionally illiterate" on reading-comprehension tests.
Compare this to ZERO illiteracy in Denmark and Finland, or ONE PERCENT in Germany, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the UK. I won't mention the low literacy rates in other parts of the world, 'cos that would be mean.
Guess what? If you can't read after TEN YEARS of DAILY instruction—no matter HOW shoddy the books and teachers are—you're a fucking hopeless imbecile. And every one of you Cro-Magnons who enters adulthood with a dried peanut inside your skull has already cost taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars—for NOTHING. This doesn't count the untold sawbucks it'll cost to put you on welfare and educate the half-dozen seedlin's you spit out in your subhuman image.
It's a post-industrial world, and we no longer need these drooling mules to labor in the salt mines. So I propose the wholesale sterilization of anyone who can't pass a basic literacy test upon reaching the age of sixteen.
Is that cruel? To THEM it is. But no crueler than it currently is to force smart people to carry these beasts on our backs.
In one generation, the U.S.A. would be a brighter, better place.
BRIGHT POWER!
