They are taught in school that there is no Right or Wrong, so why is this a problem?

That’s right. Moral relevance.

The only difference between these kids and you is that they are honest enough to admit it.

People involved in business cheat.
People in Sports cheat.
People in Politics cheat.
People in Education cheat.
America is full of cheaters and that’s the way it is.

If you’ve noticed, the majority of people below 30 can’t spell the most basic words to save their life. Schools will just socially promote almost all students. There is no hope; other intelligent countries will overtake us soon enough, and we don’t really care.

This is what happens when you let Joos and Nigros define your culture.

George Bush’s Fault.

Everybody else does it, so it is ok for me to do it, as long as I admit it? Is that what I heard up above? Some people have the integrity to walk away from a 25% ownership stake in a multi-million dollar company they helped build from the ground up because the other 75% cheat. Some cops work every day of their lives without abusing their power and retire without much to show for it. Heck, even some politicians lead relatively clean lives, but they usually end up in a fatal plane crash or skiing incident.

Not everybody cheats. But most people in America that don’t cheat pay one price or another. I salute them.

And why do the “journalists” find this so amusing?

When the sluice gates opened up in the mid 60s and the younger generations were from then on deluged by the vile discharge of pop culture it left no doubt what the outcome would be. Blame not the student but the teacher.
