Yup.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED for the public school system.
I bet more than half don’t know that the first says nothing about separation of church and state.
“I don’t think it’s any accident that the educational system in America has been brought to its current state. Because only a totally uneducated mass of people will be baffled by balloons. And yellow ribbons and little flags and buzz words and guys saying “new world order” and ... like that, I mean, only a person who has been dissuaded from any kind of critical thinking and doesn’t know geography, doesn’t know the English language – I mean if you can’t speak English, then this stuff works on you.
One of the things that was taken out of the curriculum was civics. Civics was a class that used to be required before you could graduate from high school. You were taught what was in the U.S. Constitution. And after all the student rebellions in the ‘60s, civics was banished from the student curriculum and was replaced by something called social studies. Here we live in a country that has a fabulous constitution and all these guarantees, a contract between the citizens and the government – nobody knows what’s in it. It’s one of the best kept secrets. And so, if you don’t know what your rights are, how can you stand up for them? And furthermore, if you don’t know what is in that document, how can you care if someone is shredding it?” Frank Zappa
This is a yuge ‘success’ of the liberal/progressive government controlled public education system. Goebbels would be proud.
Freedom to text and take selfies.
The list of 1st Amendment Freedoms from memory.
The right to have chicken tenders with every meal.
The right to speedy and free travel.
24/7 TV.
The right to not be arrested if I don’t think what I did should be a crime.
The right to have people banned from the internet for triggering me.
The right to make up things that trigger me.
There. I think I got them all.
What’s stunning is that any Americans= can name just one freedom enshrined in the First.
In a debate at Widener Law School, Senate Candidate Christine O’Donnell asked Senate Candidate Chris Coons to name the First Amendment freedoms. He could not; but worse still, the mostly law student assembly laughed ... at her for asking.
Truly sad state of affairs.
Half of Americans, aren’t American.
I thought the 1st Amendment was all about outlawing the practicing of any Christian religion... It also requires the strict adherence to the quran and forbids any type of negative discourse about the quran and moslems in general...
