I read the same claim, and it has a lot of circumstantial evidence supporting it, imo. The story I recall was that the western powers, ie. UK and US
learned high intellect equalled freethinking, which increased ones chances of being socially responsible, or in other words, socialist. Less
education meant more right wing voters, so the leaders started thinning out the curriculum and began teaching wrong. It is harder to teach the wrong
stuff, but the theory alleges that it has been going on since the 30's, 'Dick and Jane', etc., and has had some success.
I also agree with the classism, and beautiism ideas. If sumwum cant reed mi point cuz I aint spelt gud, then thatz one thin, but if dey jus wanna
correck me cuz they can, den dey jus beein smartie pantz.
I kin spell, reel gud, but I aint pushin it, an if I nose wut dey means, den gud nuff.
Love is all, brains are jus for figgerin mo waze tuh luv.
Elitism is incommensurable with unconditional love.
