HBO host Bill Maher said the U.S. education system produces “dumb” Americans; in a scathing monologue on Friday’s “The Real Time,” the host cited a video from Tik Tok’s Project Better. The content creator asks random people simple questions about geography and history.
In one clip, a woman who said she was studying to become a teacher failed to correctly answer which country Venice, Italy, was in.
“Before we tackle any of our daunting specific problems here in America, we have to figure out how a country can solve any problem if so many of its people are so intractably, astoundingly, mind-numbingly stupid,” said Maher.
Another group of people failed to adequately answer what country Queen Elizabeth was from and what’s the largest city in the world.
“Being a full-grown and thinking a human could walk on the sun, or that the biggest city in the world was Asia, this country simply has no education standards anymore.”
“I know it’s super important to stop the grooming of our kids or, I don’t know, to start it, and certainly critical race theory must be stricken from the curriculum or, who knows, maybe included in all of it. But you know, while we’re having those fights, could someone please notice that the kids don’t actually know anything?”
