Over the last several months, as the impeachment inquiry has unfolded, students across America have received a real-time civics lesson.
Thats good because any kind of civics lesson at all is one more civics lesson than they learned from your job-for-life-union members.

Americans know literally nothing about the Constitution
(CNN) If you are way into politics, you are not the average American. Not even close.
A new poll from the University of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg Public Policy Center reveals how shockingly little people know about even the most basic elements of our government and the Constitution that formed it.
Take your pick from this bouillabaisse of ignorance:
* More than one in three people (37%) could not name a single right protected by the First Amendment. THE FIRST AMENDMENT.
* Only one in four (26%) can name all three branches of the government. (In 2011, 38% could name all three branches.)
* One in three (33%) can’t name any branch of government. None. Not even one.
Public education in this country is a politicized massive waste of money. The NEA should hang their heads in shame over the way their members have failed completely. My wife's grandmother and grandfather were both teachers as were he mother uncles and aunts. Thank god they have all died and have not had to witness what their once honorable profession has devolved into. It is a horror!
