    Bag on it all you want, but that man has 6 kids which is probably 6 more than most adults on this site. As long as he isn’t a complete scumbag he will likely he will pass most of his views and questionable morals to his kids.

    Normally you have a chance to deprogram these kids through higher education but Republicans have recognized this and are trying their hardest to sabotage higher Ed.

      You’re not wrong. Stupid people are outbreeding smart people by orders of magnitude. Nobody wants to talk about it though because there is no socially acceptable “nice” way to deal with it. Bolstering education is about the best we can hope for but clearly that isn’t going well.

        Intelligence is not a transferable trait, unlike physical traits. There’s no guarantee that these kids won’t educate themselves and surpass their parents in intellectual capabilities. All we need is indeed better public education.

          There’s no guarantee of anything in life. You can say that, statistically speaking, intelligent parents raise intelligent children though. The inverse is often true as well.

        there’s something to that, but we shouldn’t go to Idiocracy, funny movie, but still eugenic rethoric.

        globally intelligence is rising, is based on education and child quality of life, that’s why America is doing all it can to gut education and promote child misery.
