It’s a national disgrace.
And all according to plan.
I would have thought it was half that. The leftist schools no longer make U.S. History a requirement.
Its not a fail if they meant to do it.

Deliberate liberal communist agenda. Obama is doing a freaking jig.
But they sure as hell know their right to throw bricks at police in Baltimore. I wonder who taught them that?
I have to admit, I thoroughly hated history and politics during grade 8. Thus, I barely made it through history at times. It was not until I was in my mid twenties and after graduating in the geological sciences in university when I really got into it. Just saying.
Makes it so much easier for liberals to lie about the past and make up their own false histories.
Now tell me the demographics.
LOL. The other 82 percent think Lincoln was a hero.
I am torn. What are the students ‘suppose’ to learn about history? According to most courses History started in 1980 when Reagan destroyed the utopia and everything bad is because of him. Obama is the savior and we are all his children.
If I was assured students were learning correct history then I would feel bad that there are so many idiot teachers failing children. BUT I know the history books in the education racket are guided by the reprehensible Howard Zinn and Noam Chomsky.
It’s probably far lower for adults.
...or should I say, college grads.
“Euros came in a ship, killed a ton of until-then happy Indians living in splendor, then they kidnapped Africans to steal their labor, there was some war and later then the Germans attacked Pearl Harbor, but Oliver Stone stormed Mount Suribachi, saving the day. Martin Luther King attacked the German Shephards and firehoses, and took away all those rusted little water fountains. Some honkies later, Obama came. The end.”
All that money since LBJ. *snort*
Heck, that is possibly better than adults! Not long ago Gen-X had trouble figuring out the timeline of WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. Suspect they had stopped teaching those topics about then.
With common core, we should be GLAD only 18% of 8th graders are proficient in history. I’m serious. You should see the national social studies curriculum standards.
18%? Find me 5% of 8th graders, not counting Home Schooled, who can name any five of the first ten presidents, can list five of the Ten articles of the Bill of Rights, find me 5% that can write 100 words on the War of 1812.
Hey folks! It’s the union!
History is racist. Because white people.
