New Zealand has taken the lead in the worldwide effort to make our children as dumb as possible. Education officials now make it mandatory for teachers in New Zeeland to accept “text speak” – “cu” see you, “lol” for laugh out loud, “ur” for your, etc., as standard English.

This is reminiscent of a few years ago when Oakland wanted to allow Ebonics (black street slang) in place of English.

Apparently, the theory is that if you continue to lower the bar by reducing standards, eventually everyone will pass, proving that the education system works. Gotta luv it!
