Wrong priorities, no functional sense of place

"Young adults are floundering in high school, or 'graduating' as functional illiterates despite the vaunted widespread application of computer 'technology.' They can do Instagram on a cell phone, but they can’t read an application for a driver’s license. And the mania for 'diversity and multiculture' has left kids without the armature of an American common culture to successfully mold a life onto." - James Howard Kunstler, at Kunstler.com
