Yes, Idiocracy scared the hell out of me. Worth a watch though.
But before anyone panics, take a look at the actual curriculum that is being implemented here:

This is based on the new Australian curriculum that is coming into effect.
If we just take what is in the media as gospel, then, well idiocracy here we come.
Anyone who is concerned about the education system, have a read of the actual curriculum and see what you think. There is so much misinformation around at the moment.
