I subscribe to the Amarillo Globe-News Facebook page. Recently they linked to an article on their website about the US Marines bringing home Smoke, a donkey that had been a mascot of the Marines in Iraq.
The comments on the FB page were mostly positive, except for some who griped that it wasn't news, and then there was this, a comment about education funding and a few posts later, another comment. (I put them together in order to save space.) For privacy, I blacked out the names.
Education is very important and we need to fund it, but if our educational system is churning out functionally illiterate jackasses like that, then something has to change.
The donkey is probably smarter than that person.
