Some are ignorant and some have wisdom.
Always been that way, always will.
Answer:
Actual capability and accomplishment is punished.
Incompetence and failure are rewarded.
Why try?
Radical Left teachers unions, Marxist college professors, national media an appendage of the Democrat party, depraved Hollyweird celubutard culture....need I gone on?
Well,.....what’s the answer?
A people inculcated in our history cannot be made servants of the state. Repeated early education in the Bill of Rights alone would probably be enough.
I am stunned, daily, at the lack if intellectual depth and understanding of American history by many people.
And I’m a High Skrewel drop out..
Okay, not really.
I mean, I left High Skrewel at 15 and went to college but, that was my Mom’s idea...
Perhaps we need to start firing incompetent teachers, based on their students’ achievement or lack thereof.
Four-plus decades of a public education system that was designed to do precisely that.

Darwin..
kill your television!!!
people who think white, Christian, males are historically responsible for the worlds oppression, have set up an educational system where they give Ritalin to the white boys and dumb down everyone.
and it has worked.
In 1990 I was a college student at a well regarded New England university. I came back to my dorm room after my microbiology final to find my roommate feverishly studying for a US history exam. She was frantically looking through her notes for some fact. She looked up at me and asked if I could help. I reminded her that I was a science major and history was not my forte but I could have a stab at it.
Her question.... what side did Lee fight for?
Blame parents and schools ( not just public ones)
Amen! Preach it, brother!

I’ll go ahead and state the obvious. Knowing that the Revolutionary War preceded the Civil War is not just the retention of meaningless facts. It’s the retention of a conceptual view of history that relates one event leading to another. It’s not possible for one person to know all facts of history, but knowing the difference between two of the very few most important events in your country’s history is nice. Especially if you plan to be a historian.
