I am amazed how easily young people submit to authority.

That is an excellent point. They are indoctrinated in our public schools.

TexasFreeper talked about the leftie websites - I think they are part of the generation that just believes what it is told. Critical thinking is NOT taught in schools, but blind obedience is. I think the current teachers are just obeying the masters that they were taught from.

I had a surprising discussion with 2 high schoolers recently. They were adamant that Reagan had nothing to do with the dissolution of the Soviet empire. It was Gorbachev that did it. For unknown reasons. They couldn't even explain how he did it. But they believed their history book, without even being able to explain the details. These were AP students!

There really is no hope after the older folks are gone. The revolution/CW needs to happen now in order to rebuild with any sense of purpose and understanding of the Constitution/Founding Fathers.

BTW, I am of the opinion that textbooks change every few years for a reason - not just to charge schools $150 a book. But that history is being re-written, one revision at a time. So that the parents don't notice.

Even in the USSR, the people knew they were lied to. Here, most don't even see it. That is scariest of all.
