Result of taking history, civics, government courses out of the curriculum and let the liberals insert their ‘fluff’ courses instead...it’s taken quite a while but the results are in...kids today know nothing of history, geography, or any of the so-called social science courses which were required years ago.
I do NOT agree. It’s the immature generation, not familiar enough with history!
I REALLY can seeAOC running ng a country ... just not ours, I hope!
Really?
The hungry socialists of Venezuela invite the tasty Americans for dinner.
Wait until the freeloading bitches get their Socialism. Capitalism won’t be coming back and your freedom is toast.
It was the original slave states that voted to enshrine slavery into the United States Constitution. They were not external enemies.
Those slave states were: New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Delaware, and Maryland.
Virginia, North and South Carolina, and Georgia were also slave states. We must always cast 4/13ths responsibility in that direction.
I guess the author was not a critical thinker.
I know many educated workers who are leftists. Don’t they know that they have jobs so they are considered oppressors and those who don’t work are oppressed and will kill them under Marxism?
Get them all to read WE THE LIVING. Written as fiction but tells the true story of the communist takeover of Russia. It was terrible for 99.99% of the people...
The Constitution protects us from such totalitarian schemes. If the government tries this then they have broken their treaty with the people and the people should not be expected to be bound to the government laws anymore. That is how a civil war between the gun owners and the transgenders starts.
A sobering read.
This one gets emailed and tweeted.
Thank you, FRiend.

Fluff courses aren’t the whole story by a long shot. The story includes allowing children to advance to the next grade without the requisite skills. It means without a founding in the sciences rational critical thinking cannot be taught. Students do not like to have to find FACTS to support a valid discussion or argument for or against anything. It means we will have nobody who values excellence at a task or work as a means to an end and it means free loaders and grifters. I think it really means we are divided as a nation between inductive emotional thinkers and deductive critical thinkers. It means nobody thinks they have to earn to buy to live and nobody has to do vocational courses and work because they will all be on the dole. Disgusting.
Ping.
It is, by why are they so ignorant of history?
Our schools have been taken over to the point it’s impossible to blame our kids.
We are failing them every single day we allow this situation to continue.
The left has been laying this rail for at least 100 years- and here comes the train. These young people have absolutely NO idea what socialism is or what it does to a society, but they will learn the HARD way. It’s going to be a hard lesson.
Lazy and do not want to work, easily accepting
But government has never been, and never will be, the source of the solution. Government is incapable of creating anything. The most we can hope for is for government to protect private property and individual rights. The solution for sustaining and enhancing life has to come from people themselves. At the end of the day, people either want and yearn for freedom, or they dont. If they dont yearn for it, they will let it go. They will rationalize that theres nothing wrong with a little socialism to make life easier while taking it for granted that all the well-being we know from capitalism will melt away with the emergence of socialism. They dont have the mindset to consider the contradiction, because its too much to think about. Its better just to go with what feels right, and thats the end of it.The natural disposition is always to believe. It is acquired wisdom and experience only that teach incredulity, and they very seldom teach it enough. The wisest and most cautious of us all frequently gives credit to stories which he himself is afterwards both ashamed and astonished that he could possibly think of believing.
Showing the lack of delayed gratification, socialists chant, "When do we want it? Now!" But if they had taken over, for instance, in the 1960s, Americans would have never been able to enjoy such "human rights" as free Internet, free cell phones, or free disposable diapers. Americans would be living today the way we lived in the USSR around the 1980s. There would be no affordable personal computers, tablets, eBooks, iTunes, Google, YouTube, Facebook, or Twitter.
