"On the 2006 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) Civics Test," the report notes, "the majority of eighth graders could not explain the purpose of the Declaration of Independence. Only 5 percent of seniors could accurately describe the way presidential power can be checked by Congress and the Supreme Court."

This is half the answer, children are not learning is school about America, They are more likely to get anti-American rhetoric and socialist dogma that American history. They now have parents who were similarly "educated".

Unless they learn from their parents, the children are unlikely to ever learn. In the 1950's children watched entirely different television than we have today. Sex in the City has replaced The Dick Van Dike Show. Movies are even more worthless, they will learn about American corporations poisoning the environment and gangbangers shooting each other (hell, they can likely look out the front door for that).

QUESTIONS:

1. In the different states, do the kids study these documents just during one year or continually?

2. If a kid skips a grade due to their test scores, could they miss this information entirely?
