Dumbing Down
Interesting quote from this well written article, discussing both sides of the issue:
“Bill Otto, a health care consultant, says he thinks it’s part of the “dumbing down of our system.”
“What’s next? Where does it stop?” he asks. “The public library is trying to be all things to all people — but maybe that’s wrong. We just keep adjusting the standards and lowering them.”
