By design, the left rules.

Take the quiz here:

http://www.americancivicliteracy.org./resources/quiz.aspx

I scored 88%... and a couple of the answers I got wrong were silly mistakes on my part... I would suspect that most FReepers would score a C+ or better.

[eyedigress]

but their overall average was 69.6%, a disappointing D+.

I seem to recall anything below 75 an F, 75-80 = D, 80-90 = C, 90-95 = B and 95-100 = A. When did this change?

[Antoninus]

Failing Our Students, Failing America: Holding Colleges Accountable for Teaching America’s History and Institutions asks: Is American higher education doing its duty to prepare the next generation to maintain our legacy of liberty?

Of course they aren't. And don't think for a second it's not by design. They aim to create a nation of helpless, dependent, mentally addled, hedonistic cretins that MUST have government running their lives just to survive.

I.S.I. is excellent.

I’d bet that Hillsdale College students in Michigan would have done markedly better than this bunch.
