Audio and summary
Hmm, could an increase in single parent households, pot usage, militant teachers unions and woke instruction cause the IQ of society to decrease?
YES!!!!!
So what will it be?
Systemic Racism?
Climate Change?
Donald Trump?
Probably all of the above. But there will be only one solution:
More money for education!
A lower IQ is a small price to pay for wokeness. This is equity in action.
Or the IQ test is biased in favor of traditional knowledge like logic and reading comprehension. The IQ test doesn’t test for privilege, awareness of 173 genders, the various intersections of gender and race, and how to do community activism.
OR, maybe the decline in IQ is part of the ageing of the population,more people with dementia.
You probably should read the article before posting an idiotic response.
