About two years ago I went to a college campus and asked three questions:

What form of government do we have in the United States?
What is the only guarantee in the Constitution?
What are the Federalist Papers?

Only ONE person knew two answers - out of over 100 students.

Virtually every person had no correct answer.

You’re right, they should be a subject of study by every student.

Was at it the John Jay College Of Criminal Justice (The City University of New York)????

because I have a feeling that, that school foists as much if not more misinformation about our republic as any of the other colleges across the nation.

What is the only guarantee in the Constitution?

Is it a guarantee that I won't be offended by any person, place or thing?

Health-care?

Happiness?

A large-screen HDTV?

I give up...what is it??
