A lot of what can be found on line is inaccurate.

You didn't read the named books, ergo you didn't go to any "good schools" and your family, who should have read at least read/bought you some of them abrogated their responsibilities.

A whole LOT of the stuff mentioned in the article, is what you should have learned by the time you graduated from high school and some of it, by the time you entered middle school.

“And public schools are preparing them for jobs bagging groceries for college educated Indians and Chinese.

And to join Antifa”

You’re getting desperate——good for a laugh,though.

Mad Magazine did a spoof on the Caesar Salad Dressing tv commercial [as still photos, obviously].

Toga-robed people are eating salad, asking "Who made the salad?"

Caesar, standing alone, proclaims "Caesar made the salad!"

Knives come out as the diners rush him.

you do realize that the Constitution replaced the Articles of Confederation (which were a disaster by the way).

Mr. Toad,

I do not believe that you may surmise that Mr. Huckfillary is stupid

His larger point is that they were taught nothing of "The Fall Of The Roman Empire", a lesson worth remembering in these days of palace intrigue.

Winter is coming.

It’s quite likely he did not have one at the time he came up with Special Relativity. He was still a patent examiner, a low-level bureaucrat. And it was only 1905. And probably likely he didn’t have one by the time the final version of General Relativity was published 11 years later.

Wasn’t too long ago, can’t remember if it was Texas A&M, or maybe Vanderbilt, the liberal/progressive president of the school removed the cotton from the school emblem.

After public schools their best career option is probably MS13.

It isn’t that you can remember a date of an assassination——

It is that you can train your brain to remember ANYTHING.

A friend had a daughter who didn’t get good grades in a majority of her classes. I asked her WHY? Girl said—”I never can remember anything”. I am talking about a junior in high school who couldn’t do multiplication tables in her head. NONE AT ALL. Couln’t make change for paper bills.

BUT-—then the radio in the car came on with a BRAND NEW country song, which she knew every single word & note of.

I pointed that out to her-—that she could remember songs, but not her lessons. I told her-—YOU CAN REMEMBER-—you just choose NOT TO. She didn’t talk to me for days.
