According to literature distributed by the group, it makes more sense for "fruit" to be spelled as "froot," "slow" should be "slo," and "heifer" — a word spelled correctly during the first oral round of the bee Thursday by Texas competitor Ramesh Ghanta — should be "hefer."

The only word that comes to mind for this is "dumbassery." d-u-m-b-a-s-s-e-r-y. Dumbassery.
People are just finding every opportunity they can to bitch at the government. Though, I'm not sure how health care and immigration relates to kids spelling long words, but if "Enough is too much" then somebody's college education screwed them over. Just because you're too fucking stupid to learn how to spell correctly doesn't mean that the words should be changed, it means that you should go back to fucking grade-school.
If it where up to me, I would want both spelling and sentence structure. Text-speak hurts my eyes, and LOL-speak, though funny in context of the pictures, but sucks otherwise. It makes me want to crush people's heads between The Little Brown Handbook and Webster's Unabridged Dictionary.
I've seen people become crying infants over their their choice of IMSpeak when their corrected. God forbid that anybody can spell something without using spell check.
But nonetheless, this is depressing and on a level of stupidity that's almost mythical, but looking back at things, I'm not too surprised. George Orwell warned us of "Newspeak' in 1984. It's "doubleplusungood."
