Nearly all Americans can name three or more genders, but can even half of us name all 50 states?
The most recent Annenberg Public Policy Center annual Constitution Day Civics Survey found that fewer than half of Americans can name all three branches of government — Executive, Legislative, and Judicial — a drop-off of 9 percentage points from just one year ago. (This is likely because a larger percentage of Americans attend "institutions of higher learning" than ever before. I'm not joking.) At this rate, no one will be able to achieve this remarkable feat by 2028. This is doubly sad when one realizes that nearly every single child in the country possessed this fundamental knowledge by the age of 12 or 14 fifty years ago. And 100 years ago. And 150 years ago. Whether they went to school in a large city or in a one-room schoolhouse on a Midwestern prairie.
Perhaps even more mind-boggling, roughly a quarter of Americans surveyed could not name a single branch of the federal government.
Perhaps even more disturbing, the survey showed an increase in the number of respondents who were unable to name any of the five freedoms guaranteed under the First Amendment to the Constitution. (Freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly, and to petition the government.) Just over one quarter of respondents were at a loss to name even one First Amendment freedom. In the previous survey, conducted in 2021, 56 percent of respondents identified freedom of religion, compared to only 24 percent in 2022. In 2021, half of the respondents noted freedom of the press, as opposed to only 20 percent in 2022.
Is it any wonder, then, that government is denying those freedoms and treating citizens with the wrong political opinions like "terrorists" or "enemies of the state,"

An educated public would be a danger to the Department of Deep State.
That’s because they’re too busy being taught to use the proper pronouns, CRT learning, and sensitivity training........can’t be bothered with real-world facts/3 r’s/or actual History (instead of the Revisionist-New World Order sh!t)
The President
The FBI
The Teacher's Unions
How'd I do?
Once the government controls the schools, the mass media, and the internet, people will not be allowed to know that they have any rights at all.
Oh! Oh Oh! ... let me try.
There’s the:
1. The insider trading branch
2. The senile old coot and his corrupt family branch
3. The woke but wise latina group
I thought there was one..Biden’s !!!
There’s really only one branch, and it’s Communists.
How does this come to be on so many fronts? I lay the blame directly on our education system. All those hours with our children…now we know they were not being taught the basics.
But I betcha they can say ‘EBT’.
And yet those useful idiots prove Dunning-Kruger daily since they think they are always the most intelligent and knowledgeable person in the room.
"If we work our butts off to make sure that we take back all three chambers of Congress — Uh, rather all three chambers of government: the presidency, the Senate, and the House,"
As savage said
“places of lower learning”.
Don’t forget the fourth arm of government the unelected bureaucracy.
Moe, Larry and Curly.
Beat me to it!
1--MSM
2--deomc-rats
3--holey weird actors & actress
Democrats like it that way.
I think you got it. Globalists/RINOs/ Communists. Splains everything.
