You deny that high schools stopped teaching the Constitution starting in the 70s?
Undemocratic? Who is this little snowflake? I’d ask him, what should be the government and should it be on paper! I’d love to get his answer.
Well at least the totalitarians are now openly admitting that they hate the Constitution.
No, I’m saying that Frank Zappa is wrong when he says that in the 60s, Civics became or was replaced by ‘something called Social Studies’. Both were very different, and required, classes taught at very different grade levels.
Also, Civics was MUCH more than the Constitution, and presumed a prior study of it. It was more concerned with the nuts & bolts of all levels of government; the rights and duties of citizens; and citizenship.
Constitution & Civics were also two entirely different classes, at different levels of school. Civics was generally a senior year required class.
NOTE: I do NOT condone the loss of Civics, though I understand from some others that it never disappeared from some schools, though the state grad requirement was dropped.
Also, I’ve been told by some current parents that it is making a comeback in their districts.
NOTE: This only applies to California, and my experience during the time Zappa cited.
“Well at least the totalitarians are now openly admitting that they hate the Constitution.”
And the Constitution doesn’t like them either.
As it should be.
Plenty of people here oppose upholding the Constitution if it blocks their favorite child of a foreign national from being President.
Typical New York leftist college professor - MARXIST America-hater who doesn’t even know what they are supposed go teach except Marxism.
Opposite sides of the same coin.🤔
