Campus Reform ^ | August 1, 2019 | Ethan Cai

Posted on 08/01/2019 7:15:37 AM PDT by C19fan

In a new poll of college students, a plurality voted former President Barack Obama the “best U.S. President in history.”

The poll, conducted by College Pulse, collected 8,111 responses from college students from around the country and asked, “Who is the best U.S. President in history?”

Of the total respondents, Obama received 22 percent (1,744) of the votes, an 8 percent margin of victory over second-place finisher Franklin D. Roosevelt, who garnered 14 percent (1,140) of the votes. Abraham Lincoln trailed shortly behind, also with about 14 percent (1,121).

Maybe that’s because public HS and College doesn’t go back any further that Obama. Unless it’s to bad mouth the “old white slave owning racist founding fathers.”

Knowing that these scholars will be the leaders of the future, I am glad that I am old enough that I’ll be long gone before they can destroy the country I love.

Ok, now class, please write a one page letter on WHY you think Obama is the best President in US History. In tomorrow’s lesson, we’ll discuss what “writer’s block” is...

If they were asked if Michelle Obama was the best Female President in US history, at least 80% of high school students would “agree” with that statement. 99% if they were told to answer affirmative if they wanted a good grade and free lunch...

Same thinking processes that select High School student council members and Homecoming Queen.

Yet another prime example of how dumbed down the students have become in America.

Every one of these “students” should be tossed from school and forced to earn their way in the world without financial support. What absolute mind-numbed nitwits. Their parents should disown them.

Meaningless poll. Their cognitive history only consists of the last 4 years of W, Obama, and a couple of years of Trump.

“College kids parrot what they are taught.........”

In reality, it starts in preschool.

“History” is subjective.

Every grade school kid is well aware of what a monster Hitler was, without ever hearing that he was a genocidal amateur compared to Stalin and Mao.

Just goes to show that there is no educating going on, just indoctrination.

Let’s face it, if the students did NOT say this, the professors would FLUNK THEM,

Who are they kidding that this was a NO pressure vote.

I wonder how many other presidents these kids could name if asked.

Don’t know much about paying mortgage and other bills, ‘cause someone else is paying...

It’s a catchy tune.

10 yrs of political exposure and they know it all? So tell me, what was it like in 1956? Do they even know who was the president in that year? Probably not. Obama years? Did they find a decent Job in those great years?
