Whither America's Technological Edge?
baldass_newbie asks: "Ben Stein wrote an editorial titled, 'How to Ruin American Enterprise'. To me, technological innovation is a big outward sign of a successful economy. Sometimes it appears like the U.S. is losing its edge in technology. Well, I was wondering what the Slashdot community at large thinks is wrong (or right) with the U.S. and technological innovation?" The article deals less with technology and more with the society on which said innovation is based, and the problems that may bring it down around our collective ears. Give the article a read, and share your thoughts on whether or not you think it's an accurate assessment on the current and future situation of America's technological advantage.
Once the multiculturists (read: cultural marxists) infect engineering and science curriculums, it's definitely over at the university level in America. Up until now, it's been mostly the liberal arts and humanities that have been poisoned with this stupid brand of "liberalism". Once they get their tentacles into the hard sciences, you can kiss any innovation goodbye.
If you think this is just some silly conspiracy theory, you either are willfully blind or you are not paying attention. They have already been successful in replacing classics with texts that push Marxist theology.
