Unintended Anthem of Social Justice and Critical Theory

I always enjoyed this light jingle.

I never realized at the time that it was a forecast in 1959 of the ethos of education in 2020. Of Social Justice Critical Theory, and Twitter arguments. The denial of science, denial of history, denial of biology, denial of maths, all for the thrill of emotionalism. The decline was all there had I but looked.



What a Wonderful World
by Sam Cooke

Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about a science book,
Don't know much about the french I took
But I do know that I love you,
And I know that if you love me, too,
What a wonderful world this would be

Don't know much about geography,
Don't know much trigonometry
Don't know much about algebra,
Don't know what a slide rule is for
But I do know that one and one is two,
And if this one could be with you,
What a wonderful world this would be

Now, I don't claim to be an "A" student,
But I'm tryin' to be
For maybe by being an "A" student, baby,
I can win your love for me
Don't know much about history,

Don't know much biology
Don't know much about a science book,
Don't know much about the french I took
But I do know that I love you,
And I know that if you love me, too,
What a wonderful world this would be

History
Biology
Science book
French I took
But I do know that I love you,
And I know that if you love me, too,
What a wonderful world this would be
