Recently someone made the remark about when did "this" start and it is easy to go back in time and see steps that at the time were annoying but not necessarily alarming
Hard to isolate which came first but it can now be seen as extensive grooming which early on was the scrambling of our education system to produce dumber people out than what they were when they went in
I remember being in a course in the mid eighties where when I queried the instructor on a matter, she said we just keep lowering the pass level requirements to overcome the problems
A course of study basically around law and accounting which was a three year full time produced a qualification you can now get in two weeks part time, another which was five years in now six months
So the dumbing down process started a long time ago and whether this was planned or just enabled the opportunists to take advantage of changing situations will only be revealed in a hundred years from now when people are studying the fall of the Western Civilization
