One study reported that less than half of college seniors knew that Yorktown was the battle that ended the American Revolution. A similar number could name the reason NATO was formed.

I knew these things by 10th grade high school.
The problems stems from the last 20-30 years of liberal agenda in the Government controlled school system that has de-emphasized reading writing and arithmetic and heavily emphasized the spreading of the homosexual agenda, the environmental agenda and the socialism agenda. At the same time the government controlled schools have removed God, discipline, morals, patriotism and duty from the schools.

Bingo on that. I’m surprised no one had really covered that aspect of this, until your post.

Kids just aren’t getting the preparation in high school. If I were Czar, I’d start addressing the problem by dismantling the Colleges of Education.
