VIDEO: Young Americans know nothing about 4th of July

Campus Reform spoke with young Americans and students ahead of the 4th of July to see what they knew about the holiday. Most said America was a racist country but couldn’t answer simple questions about the country’s Independence Day.

Defund the police? How about we defund schools? They are absolutely quick on their feet to immediately tag the US as racist but basic US history confuses them.

Betcha if you told them which political party opposed the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, they would be SHOCKED to learn it was the Democrat one.

Get a load of that teacher.

Parents, you dropped the ball here, too.

And kiddos: If your teachers sucked, your parents couldn’t be bothered, there’s nothing stopping you from educating yourselves.

“Most said America was a racist country ...”

Well, a majority of Americans 17 and under are non white, but I’m sure that won’t change anything fundamental about the country in the coming years.

= = = = = = = =

Ask them to explain what that is and means.

Lot of them probably couldn’t spell racist much less explain it to you.

Raciss...... Recess without using an E.

It doesn't take college to learn what July 4 is about. The problem starts much earlier in the public education system.

These daze the Unis seem to welcome being cleanup for earlier failures.

At a profit for the Ph[d]rophets.

Don’t forget that these interviews can be cherry-picked. The interviewers could have talked to 200 people, and found only 20 who didn’t know the basics.

But those 20 people are the most entertaining. So they’ll be the only ones you see.

Jay Leno ran that gimmick for years. He’d ask people on the street something simple like “How many states are there?” Anyone who answered correctly would not make the final cut.

Hate to use a ‘Bad’ but very effective method, but what this current range of BullSchiff needs is a ‘Kent State’ moment.

Those that can will run-not walk- back to the basement and the ‘others’ will realize they may just become ‘open season’, no limit if they persist.

During VN, once the draft was rescinded and the RICH WHITE BOYS went home (for the most part) pols etal were ‘willing’ to take on the problem.

Money (and donors) talks, the rest is just window dressing.

True, but get a load of the two elementary teachers admitting they aren’t teaching their students reading, writing and arithmetic but how to protest.

Yep, the US got its independence (what’s that?) way back in 1979 from America during the Industrial Revolutionary War (with a wee-wee yank).

History is just something in the textbooks we flip through and the teachers don’t teach it. Hey, bozo’s ever heard of reading a textbook?

Yes, wanker, people are really ignorant.

Can we all spell IGNORANT LOSERS?

This is why this country is doomed. The Left has taken over the educational institutions and crammed lies and untruths into the next several generations minds.

These kids don't have a clue except for the propaganda they have been force fed.

The fruit of gov’t school indoctrination.

Homeschool before it is too late.

Don’t let your children grow up to become revisionists.

A significant portion of “educators” are enemies of free citizenry.
