12. I would say America is losing when critical thinking taught to children is being outlawed

"because it interferes with the parent's control of children" as per Texan Republicans and other Republicans.

When I read that Texas textbooks are printing that the Loch Lomond monster is real, I believe that American children will be losing out in competing in the future with the rest of the world

America is choosing the wrong path downhill to nowhere, if it chooses the Republican path.

It is such a shame. To think that America once sent man to the moon....I can not believe what I am seeing happening.

When my American brother, NJ Bubba, says he is PROUD to not know anything about the world, I can not have hope for America. The book THE REPUBLICAN BRAIN does explain it but I am hoping that Americans like those on DU will be able to pull America back onto the right path that is greatness it was once on.
