Can’t believe I said that twice!
It’s not just a “Huge Problem,” it’s a National Crisis!
Our public schools are failing to educate in what a young person needs to succeed in the world but are high on SJW crapola.
“Betsy DeVos: Schools’ Failure to Teach U.S. Civics a ‘Huge Problem’”
FTA:TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk facilitated the discussion with DeVos in a Q&A format. The conversation pivoted to a discussion of the failure of the education system– subpar public schools specifically– to properly teach students basic civics.
“It’s amazing how few students are exposed to the brilliance of these documents and our Founding Fathers,” Kirk said. “How are you planning to continue to address this problem as we move forward?”
“Well, it is a huge problem,” DeVos said before citing a recent statistic demonstrating the severity of the issue.
“The latest statistic that I saw suggested that only about 18 percent of high school seniors had a reasonable understanding of civics and U.S. history,” she said. “That’s a frightening figure when you think about it.”
“Just to put it in a little bit more in context as well, there’s an international assessment that’s done every three years and countries around the world– developed and developing countries. Results are compared for academic achievement,” DeVos said earlier in the conversation.
“And in the latest one, the United States was 24th in reading, 25th in science, and 40th in math,” she continued.
“Now, if we had results like that in the Olympics, do you think anyone in our country would stand for that?” she asked.
LG~~I am really worried about the younger generation, what they are not being taught and what they are being taught.
Saw on TV this morning reporter asking college students who they trusted most, Trump or China?
They all said China.
UNBELIEVABLE!!!!
