New C M Kornbluth's The Marching Morons
a classic sci-fi story that builds on the idea that 'morons' reproduce much faster thatn their educated counterpoints.

My parents (both with doctorates) did not become grandparents until my dad was 65, yet there are plenty of folks in their 30s who are grandparents

Kornbluth extrapoloated out to a future where there were only about 12 people with any kind of intellignece left and they had to care for the 'marching morons' without ever being detected
