My thoughts exactly. This just screams "old men afraid of change, thinking everything was better back in the day". The world is changing, things become obsolete because they're replaced by newer, better stuff all the time.
I'm sure people were complaining that kids were getting stupider when they stopped using abascuses, fucking cursive (I specifically remember people being upset about this one), dictionaries in book form, fountain pens, handwritten exams.
It's time for a lot of people to realise that they themselves have become the complaining old farts they always hated as kids.
I know a Gen X guy who "hates" digital clocks because "they don't have hands to tell me what time it is."

To the title, that's always been the case.
"no child left behind" turned into "make it easier until everyone passes" Shit isn't new. it's been going on for a long, long ass time.
The less educated a populous is, the less likely they are to think critically, think for themselves, and ultimately the easier they are to control.

Do the blackboards in the US also say "breathe in, breathe out, repeat" so that half the class doesn't just die?
No that's silly, there's no guarantee that they could read that.
