Can We Stop Culture Rot?

My neighbor informs me that another neighbor has got his dogs pooping all over the place, and I should watch my step.
If only we could clean up after Congress, the courts, Hollywood, and the other culture-wreckers as easily as we can clean up after dogs. I had just come back from the supermarket, where I discovered that there are now two series of novels, not just one, promoting “dominance and submission” as a fantastically hip and desirable way of life. I wonder which books they had to remove from the shelves to make room for these. The only advantage such books have over dog-droppings is that you don’t have to worry about stepping on them.
Rot, rot, rot—right before our eyes, our culture rots away.
A few doors down, a 13-year-old boy has just returned to his home state after a visit with his grandparents. I like this kid; everybody does. He comes here every summer. He and I play chess together, or just sit and talk.
But there wasn’t much of that, this time around. He spent almost the entire visit just sitting indoors playing video games, all day and into the night. He has become a wiz at slaying bloodthirsty, horrible, computer-generated zombies; but in one of the few chats we had, I learned that he had never heard of King Arthur. He had Arthur mixed up with King George III, and he didn’t know who George III was, either.
He’s not a stupid kid—far from it. He just doesn’t know things that every 13-year-old in the Western world used to know. Instead, he knows all about video games, reality TV, comic books, movies based on video games and comic books, and lousy music. His mind is being buried under a landfill of rotted-out contemporary “culture.” But he does know, because his unionized public school teacher told him so, that “communism has a lot of good ideas.”
Can you calculate the money that’s been spent, and the work that has been done, to turn this child into an ignoramus?
