The HELL with that. The pukes that don’t pay attention are the America haters of tommorow. The bastards should lick the boots of every single patriotic member and veteran of the Armed forces of the United States.
It's not just "[they] don't pay attention"...
As the article states
This ignorance should not come as a surprise. The most recent New York State test results for eighth graders entering high school indicated that only 27 percent had a basic knowledge of American history. The New York State history curriculum barely touches the actual battles and major political events of the Civil War.In other words, this information has been weeded out of what is presented to our public school students. That is WRONG.
But of course, we can't have time for tolerance-training, administrative duties, etc., unless we boot important information from the curricula.
