Jaden Smith: Everyone Should Drop Out Of School
Jaden Smith believes that the world would be a better place if everyone dropped out of school.
The Karate Kid remake star didn’t win any new fans when he posted the comments on Twitter. According to the famous 15-year-old, everyone would be a lot smarter if they simply turned their back on the public education system.
“If everybody in the world dropped out of school we would have a much more intelligent society. School is the tool to brainwash the youth,” Jaden Smith explained.
Since the young actor believes public schools are the root of all stupidity, this means babies are essentially the smartest human beings on the entire planet.
“If newborn babies could speak they would be the most intelligent beings on planet Earth,” Smith observed.
Not surprisingly, Jaden’s tweets drew the ire of several people. Shortly after the actor’s post started making the rounds on Twitter, fans and detractors alike criticized Smith for encouraging his fans to drop out of school.
“Will, you need to get your son. He is on Twitter talking bare foolishness, sounding like an inmate. He really upset with those tweets. Don’t you listen, kids,” one user wrote.
“Jaden Smith is acting like half of the people who drop out aren’t damn near completely illiterate,” another explained.

@officialjaden maybe out of school but not drop out of education. Education and learning will always be important.
