That's 8th grade level. How far down do we go? When people decide they can't learn at an 8th grade level do we go to 3rd grade? 1st grade? Illiterate? What's wrong with coming up to a level that the rest of the world understands? Have we become that lazy and entertainment tv oriented? The answer is yes, America has become that apathetic. The last thing we should do is appease that apathy which has been caused by appeasement of that mind set for 40 years. It's a downward spiral.
